O hi, Asia!

Little Visitor (video!)

Remember the neighbor kid at the bottom of Sunday’s post? Well I just caught him on tape! A little camera shy. We’ll try for more of a show next time.

Coca Cola with sugar

I’m not a huge soda drinker (especially non-diet), but I don’t think I’m imagining how good this sugar-sweetened Coke tasted compared to the American HFCS version.

Singapore Break: October 9 – ?

I would like to stay in HK awhile longer, but just learned that a work visa would take longer than time I have left on my 90-day tourist visa.

Two alleys

Two of the several alleys I walked past on my way home from meeting Jessica at the coffeeshop tonight.

Des Voeux Road, Sheung Wan.

Sunday odds & ends

On my way to F.A.B. to meet Ian and Jessica, I saw various people shielding themselves from the sun.

The entire office took a boat to Sai Kung and spent all day on the boat / the beach.

Awesome Map of Hong Kong

I love unlabeled maps and I LOVE my new vector map of Hong Kong. Simply click on it for a nice, high-res version for your collection.

Tina Wednesdays (with Chip!)

Tina’s our finance gal who wants to understand more of what people are saying in our meetings.

Reader request: Interview With Chip

We take reader requests seriously here at OHiAsia. So when one of you wanted to hear more from Chip, we got right on it.

Kat’s birthday!

Went out for Kat’s birthday to a “Hot Pot” place in Causeway Bay.

If I see your Doppelgänger here in HK…

I will sneak a photo of the person, like a stalker. Then I’ll comb your fb photos like a cyber-stalker.

Jeffrey = The Worst

Seems like only day-before-yesterday I was raving about Jeffrey’s crisp (and possibly unintentional) wit in this post. We met tonight for our first (and last!) language exchange.
