In roughly 32 hours I shall be a best man. In all honesty i am kinda excited aswel as aprehensive. Although a speach is not required, which wouldn't really have been a problem, I am just worried about what games the girls have planned up their sleaves for the boys. Yes, it's Chinese traditional style so the games shall begin at the front door of the girls apartment. I have heard this bunch of "gee mui's" are real nasty and their little games are like torture. One such game that has happend at a previous wedding involved wasabi resulting in the best man spewing his ring. :(  The more i think about it while typing this blog entry, the more im dreading it,lol.

Ohwel, it is my duty to fulfil the role as a best man, not just to treasure the rings until the registry but also to test the limits of my pain threshold. Just going to man it up and hope my antics impresses the opposite gender by the end of the night.

Wish me luck..............

Now i just had to share this tune with everyone. its frigging amazing. The video rocks too. The song is called "You've Got To" by The Young Punx.The Young Punx are a London-based duo of electronic musicians on the cusp of the mashup/fusion scene. The clowns in the video are weird, they are like a bunch of tamed evil clowns, if thats posible, dancing in synchronisation,lol. Lovin this tune so much i think im gona buy their album for my car.

enjoy

Hey folks, first of all its been such a long time since visiting this site and second of all, apologies for not sticking to my word of regular updates.

Anyway I thought it was time to add an entry. From the previous entry, a lot has happend. I have been on vacation and back, travelling to HK, Taiwan, Tokyo, Macau and back to bonnie Scotland. I had an awesome time out in those countries, opening up my eyes to different cultures and ways of living. To be honest if I had the choice of choosing a place to settle down id def choose the bustling ways of HK. Everything is so convenient and at your finger tips compared to the UK. Everything is so cheap too,lol. I could possibly buy breakfast, lunch and dinner for less than a meal within the UK.

Octopus card- how good are these little guys. Although not a newly added addition to the wallets and purses of the HK public, these little cards work everywhere. Forgot to withdraw cash from the ATM, dont worry il jsut use my Octopus card, how class is that. I wish these could be adapted within the UK system but its never gona happen any time soon.

Anyway i think it will take me forever to highlight all the great times I had on my travels so instead I have uploaded some of my photos taken. Heres a few from my collection.

I'm finally in HK, wooop wooop!!!! first night so far has been awesome. A lot has changed since I was last here 4 years ago. Everyone seems to be such busy bees. For my first evening in HK I went to Grappa's Cellar in Central for a music gig. The band that I went to see were Audiotraffic with Helter Skelter supporting. Openining the night was Helter Skelter, although I had not heard any of their material, I did find their set enjoyable with the band having good interaction with the audience.

btw having been to gigs and music festivals before i did find the HK audience to be somewhat conservative. normally im one to get up and stand near the front of the stage but this did not happen tonight. the crowd did become more involved towards the end of teh evening tho when Adrian from Audiotraffic started giving out free T-shirts,lol.

Overall Audiotraffic's performance was one not too forget, in a good way of course.lol. made my day. I'd love to go watch them perform again in the future. I totally loved tall their material but the finishing song where they played a cover song from the Sting and the Police: Message In a Bottle was something i didnt expect.

thumbs up to Audiotraffic and Helter Skelter and I hope this night is the beginning of a great 7 week vacation.

J.Ho

peace out

p.s i shall upload some photos from tonights music gig later.
