I’ve got two phones and a PDA on me.  I’m wired for communication and that call will be coming soon.  Those phones are weighing my suit down, like a ball & chain.  My sunglasses are on, concealing my eyes.  I’m sitting in a café, in the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, s…

Oh man, I hate the last day of a vacation!

I asked a man over a ticketing station where we could find the bus going to the Peak. Knowing that Hong Kong people has a lot to work with regarding their people skills, It was not a surprise to me when he seemed like he doesn’t wanted to answer my question, but he did. Although not in a very…

I left Hong Kong since 2002, the reason i've left hk is because i had a job offered in london and at that time i found hk was a very stressful city, every year i went home for chinese new year seeing friends and family, since then, i found hk such a vibrating modern and beautiful city, and i'd say hk is the most convenient city in the world, whatever you need is just stone throw from your house. This is the first time taking pictures in my own city, welcome to my tour.

I love to look for seach these movie locations are where. The movie director huntings for the locations according to the story. I send salaam to them, see the movies repeatedly, and search for the locations. Because these don't write in the guide books. And, I can be in the same pla…

Like I said... Hong Kong rocks. All we did today was spend time shopping and eating really good dim sum. It was at the Sheraton hotel, and it's cool because this resturaunt is ranked top ten out of all the dim sum places in the world. Let's see... went to Harbour City to go shopping in the really h…
