So this is me on my lunch break after having chicken rice wondering how tall my favorite building in this city(The center behind me, gray-ish one. That's HSBC bank, I think) is. Yes, I flew here to Hong Kong last night. The funny thing is that today, when I went to the office, I actually went to the office for the former company I wroked for!!! I kept wondering why my security card didn't work.... I didn't even think that. That was embarrassing. Finally, I went to the office I was supposed to go to. HK is a great destination for shopping but I cannot do that usually since the schedule is tight (They usually send me here for a day trip). But I am thinking of extending my stay since tomorrow is Saturday anyway :) I hadn't spoken Cantonese for ages but I was able to get my chicken rice today and was able to order wine last night so I guess it's good :) Anyway, this is my favorite Asian destination (Tokyo and Kyoto comes first before that but you already know that). Why on earth are there so many cute guys here??? Anyway, back to work. Wish me luck on my extension to stay here :) Oh, Mark in HK, I left your phone number home and didn't bring it with me. Can you please e-mail me before 9p.m. today if possible? Sorry :-( Anyway, have a wonderful weekend!

Things I like about my home city are
1. it's my home city.
2. Real Japanese food is available. No fake Teriyaki crap.
3. Excellent customer service quality even at McDonald's.
4. No LOL. This is why we cover a mouth like a geisha girl when we laugh :-P
5. Public transportation system is wonderful even if it' closes at 1 a.m.
6. Efficient public services.
7. Beautiful 4 seasons though this was the second warmest winter in history in Tokyo...
8. Washlet can be easily accessed anywhere.
9. Standard Japanese with no dialect is spoken.
10. Easy commuting from the central area of Tokyo. (A 5min taxi ride to work)
Things I don't like about my home city are
1. Smoking is permitted at many restaurants and wine bars even.
2. Gas is ridiculously exensive... Less mortorcycling these days.
3. No homo marriage is allowed.
4. The international airport is about 1 and a half hours away from the city.
5. Too many automatic doors so people forgot how to hold manual doors anymore.
There is no way he can convince me to move to Rotterdam... but his argument point was "One negative point may destroy all the good points." Well, yeah... but for this, I go for quantity..... I wonder if there is any conclusion to this discussion.... I wonder....
Happy hump day!
2... No, I didn't get arrested. But this photo does look like a mugshot of mine. I do appear to be a criminal. I can never be photogenic. But this is the photo of the TOEIC (Test of English as International Communication) score. Regardless of my look, I did okay on the test, I think.
3... Did you know the biggest brand of 3 in my company changed their logo? Did you notice the difference? I mean I got the announcement about it last November but I don't see any difference. Do you want a hint? They changed "the color" to the darker one. If you compare it on PhotoShop, you could see it? But I don't know why they did that.
4... My motorcycle died down in the middle of the city highway last night!!! It was very scary and I had to push it to the side road not to get killed. I will see how much the quote for repair is. I like riding that German masculine thingy so hard. Yes, I am still talking about the motorcycle.
5... The volcano, Mount Asama, is the most active volcano on this island (Where Tokyo is also) It's about 145km/90miles away from Tokyo. I am happy to report Tokyo is not in danger but I did observe some ashfall on my car but not so much.
Happy Hump Day!!!
