Lan Kwai Fong is that part of HK where loads of expats dress up, meet up and drink it up at all hours, every day of the week.

First Day Off
Not a bad day to sleep until 11, stay indoors, not go to work. (What work?)
Saturday Junk trip
Remember Matt? He organized this expat junk trip I went on yesterday:
Last Day (video!)
Friday was my last day that couldn’t come soon enough. To commemorate, Chip and I made this video of this weird conversation we have sometimes.
Fuchsia Twin III
I swear, it’s every time I wear this shirt.
Want something from Hong Kong?
Jessica introduced me to this store and I love it! Lianca is a local Hong Kong business ( www.liancacentral.com ) that makes great-quality leather items at really good prices.
Just 3 more weeks of waking up to:
Dan the cameraman
The should-be-15-minute walk back to the hotel from Life Cafe took about a year, because someone kept stopping to take pictures. And without telling me!
Life Cafe Hong Kong: vegan and gluten-free
Dan and I went to Life Cafe in SoHo, right in the middle of the mid-levels escalator.
Dan’s visit & interview (video!)
Dan’s a friend from high school and a bassist for Cirque du Soleil. He dropped by Hong Kong for a 1-day visit between Taiwan and Greece. Here’s our interview about him being internationally nomadic for 3 years.

Volcano Day: Tai Mo Shan
Tai Mo Shan is no fancy, Hawaii-style volcano. Actually, Chip’s mom has lived nearly her whole life at Tai Mo Shan and never knew it was volcanic in the least.
Sunday: pre-volcano (video!)
Like I’ve said before, we take reader requests seriously at ohiasia. So when one of you suggested:
Alleys along Hollywood Road
Took these on my way home from Classified.
Classified on Hollywood Rd.
Hollywood Road is the “Ho” of SoHo here in Hong Kong, lined with Western-style restaurants like F.A.B., Press Room and Classified.
Elevator & Polka dots
While I’m sorting out all my videos (plural), pics and whatnot from the past few days, you can see the pic I took waiting for the ever-slow elevator at work tonight.
Shugetsu Lunch
Went to this Japanese place for lunch Friday
Pics from Rainy Saturday
Met Jessica today for her hair appointment and took some pics on the way to and from.
