NYC or HK?
How quickly can you to tell which pics below are NYC and which are HK? Without any clue of what Hong Kong looked like, I took some pics in NYC before I left that I thought could look like HK. Then I recently did the same here in HK. View the original post (the NYC … Continue reading
Friday Odds & Ends (videos galore!)
Finally finished an involved language project with Jessica. I almost bit off more than I had energy to chew with this. In Cantonese, it’s not enough to jot down how a word sounds; you need to have the intonation burned into your brain. I looked all over the internet for the kind of Cantonese video I … Continue reading
Monkey Hill (video!)
Today was the day! Jessica and I ventured out to Monkey Hill! All my video can be seen in under 5 minutes here. It was much like I’d imagined; there were monkeys on the loose everywhere. They were doing a lot more hanging out and less patting people down for food than I anticipated. Oddly, … Continue reading

It’s Caturday!
On my way back from F.A.B. brunch with Jessica this morning, I made some new furry friends.
Wednesday odds & ends
Got up early to head out to Cyberport to visit this ad agency on my short (very short, actually) list:
Laksa
In her interview, Chip mentioned “laksa” as something she misses most about Singapore. If you’re like me, you thought, “(Latka?) No wait…what’s ‘laksa’?”
“Why Hong Kong?!”
You’d think I’d be used to this question, as many times as I’ve gotten it. There’s no single, easy-to-articulate reason why I’m going to HK, other than because I want to. But that’s a cop-out, so I’ll try a top 5 reasons list. 1. To find out what it’s like. I’ve never been to HK and know … Continue reading
O hi, Asia!
