Spent some time going around the stores to see if I could find some of the import goods I was planning to order online before I left for Hong Kong. Sogo is one of them at Causeway Bay which is a Japanese department store complete with elevator ladies and all the other customs you would expect from Japan after watching all those J-dramas and...

The next place I wanted to visit was the Ngong Ping 360 cable car ride which leads to the temples and the Tian Tan Buddha Statue. It was already up the last time I was here but was very much plagued with problems so I never went the last time. This time I decided to go because it had new "crystal glass" bottom cabins and thought it should be...

One of the things about Hong Kong is there are fairly much at least one single shopping plaza at each underground station. They all come with their own kind of interior decorations and most importantly, they're not filled with the same stores everywhere such as they would be in Glasgow with Curry, WHSmith, Game etc. And here is one of the...

Been here for almost a week now and hasn't rained at all yet. Still trying to get used to the blazing sun and the heat which is around the 27C mark. First thing when you're in Hong Kong is to get yourself one of these "Octopus Cards" from the MTR, train or bus stations. As the name suggests, it has plenty of uses. You can use it for all the main...

The Glasgow Airport's changed quite a bit since the last time I was there which was over two years ago. You now have to make your way through a big car park complex surrounding the main building before you can get inside after the terror attack. Inside, half of it is sealed off by the bridge where you used to be able to access the shops so...

Been meaning to change my blog's layout for some time now for an extra personal touch instead of using one of the pre-made ones that you'll most likely come across on other people's blogs while surfing the web. I have the design finalised and had wanted to have it working before leaving for Hong Kong but, looks like I won't be able to do that...

Starting to get a little tired of Pak Ho's "Under The Same Sky" since coming across it and having it on my DAP for over a year so I decided to check out his other songs. This song "Oh" which was on the same album sounds very good too. It has a very smooth melody to it. Once again, I can agree with most of the lyrics although some are aimed towards...

I will be leaving for Hong Kong on some business and will be there for two weeks so during that time, I will most likely not be making any posts unless I find somewhere to access the internet because the place I'm staying won't have any. If I can't find any, I'll just have to have all the posts prepared offline and post them when I return. With...

Never knew they released this on the same day as the Blu-ray release of FFVII Advent Children Complete until Amazon JP's automated service recommended it to me today... They just had to do it after I bought all the other books that contained the stories separately. They really know how to squeeze money out of their fans. Anyway, this 263...

Was going about my usual grocery round at the supermarket when I was passing through the drinks section and saw some boxes of "Earl Grey" tea. I don't really drink tea that much but I was immediately reminded of Kurokami where Excel and Akane were talking about it. Wondering what was so special about the tea they had to give it a mention in...
