    Thanks, Olof. It was a lot of fun and really cool. It's much more sedate than a city like Saigon and less nailed down than Singapore. Great food, cheap booze, lovely people (most of whom speak really good English, which makes it very easy for us Anglophones).


    My dad's been to Hongkong once, he also came home with a lot of nice pics. I specifically remember a huge Buddha statue.

    That's out on Lantau Island, where I'd planned to go on my last day but the typhoon shut down all the ferries and buses so it'll have to wait til next time.

    Thanks I was pretty pleased with how that one turned out. I've only had that camera a few months and I still struggle getting the settings right sometimes.


    Oh cool, what camera have you got?

    Cool. I've never been to a really big city.
  5. I am at my first day of work at my new job. I really like it. The people here are very nice. Not sure how often I'll be posting now though.


  6. Good luck with the job, Lester!

    Great! That's truly great, I hope that I also get a job that I really like in the future. It's such a big part of life. Good luck! And I'm sure you'll have some time left for us
  8. Watching a show about Watson. You know, the computer that competed in Jeopardy or something.
  9. I hate it when I misplace my earphones.
  10. Found 'em yet?
  11. Well, I just came home from school, so I haven't started looking for them yet.

  12. I always carry an extra pair - just for when I forget/misplace my main ones!
