2011-05 Bangkok Trip Day 1

2050 Depart HKG
帶著興奮的心情離開香港這鬼地方,上飛機時看到坐在我們前兩排的艷女,剛想著其實泰國女孩皮膚挺白挺漂亮,便聽到兩位美女比栢芝的鵝公喉還要低兩個八度的聲音……艷是艷,是不是女就不得而知。

下機已十一點多,還好晚上車比較少,而且的士走toll road,半個多小時便到達市區。這次挑了Service Apartment,雖然沒有酒店豪華,但房間真的很大很舒服,而且樓下就是24小時超市,距離空鐵及地鐵只數分鐘路程,十分方便。唯一美中不足的是電視太小了,只是二十多寸的LCD,沒戴眼鏡的我完全看不到塋幕上的小字。

Lost in Translation - Day 8

After talking to people, I found that the quality of life here is definitely worse than HK and Canada.

Heavy Tax, UNBEARABLE long working hours, clear hierarchy at work and any other relationship, expensive housing...............

On the surface, this is very nice, clean and beautiful city, cherry blossom, nice shopping, fancy packaging, good food, very good client service everywhere.

糖衣下卻是非人生活

Lost in Translation - Day 3

Another early morning for me, couldn't make it there to the breakfast place.......

Team meeting - totally shocked...it was such a typical Japanese style meeting, exactly like what I've seen in movie - shocked.

Dinner with Duck and Ben, suppose to meet them up in 新宿三越, the subway station is a maze, there's like 10+ exits at that stupid station, and weird thing is I can see exit 1-4, 6-8 but CANNOT FIND EXIT 5 which I'm suppose to get out. Once I get up the street and try to look for 三越, it is a nightmare because it is a maze, nobody speaks English and nobody knows how to read a map and tell me where I am.

Had izakaya, supposed to be good but again I cannot taste anything, something must be wrong with my taste buds, or maybe it's my sinus / allergies.

Izakaya is also full of smell of smoke, which drives me crazy. Isn't this suppose to be a highly civilized city? How come these people are so clean and polite and environmental friendly and recycles and everything but THERE'S NO SMOKE FREE RESTAURANTS?

Lost in Translation - Day 2

Wake up super early to get ready, and it was chilly and raining. Lucky that I had Mogi-san to come pick me up.

Tokyo office is nice, but feels weird when every body speaks in Japanese, no matter if they're Indian, chinese, white or black, everyone speaks Japanese. Kinda feel left out when I'm the only one who does not understand a word. I guess when I'm back to HK I should always speak in English in office whenever there's a non-chinese speaker around.

Had Oyako-don for lunch, not as good as I thought, way too salty. Had sushi for dinner, it was okay, but I can't really taste it. It was 9pm and the full team is in office, was too tired and I left.

Lost in Translation - Day 1

Never thought my first time to Tokyo would be a business trip, and never have been so unprepared when I travel.

First impression to this place is it's chilly, it was 8 degree when weather forcast said it'll be 15-20. Shocked at how even ppl in the airport does not really speak English.

Sepnt 12 hours on the road, crazy.

Despite how clean the city seems, am totally shocked that restaurants are not smoke free

20091009 - HK - Taipei




1800: heading to airport

離開公司的道上,有種難以言諭的興奮。灰濛濛的天空,彷彿提醒著我這城市有多讓人討厭。

離開,是為了給自己一點空間,從每天營營伇伇的生活中暫停下來,從拾那個愛生活愛旅遊愛文化的我。

離開,是希望讓抑壓得麻木了的神經蘇醒,讓自己盡情笑盡情哭盡情思念。

離開,是為了找繼續走下去的勇氣。

離開,是為了回來。

Taipei, here I come.

Screaming Hare

兩年前他生日到Horseshoe Valley滑雪場玩Tubing時拍的短片,坐在水泡上滑下冰梯,速度真的很快。我原全不知道自己尖叫得那麼大聲的,直至他讓我看這短片。

貓媽之旅 - 相片(1)

跟報社的舊同事一行四人到Silent Lake Provincial Park 露營,因為我們四個均養貓,所以稱之為貓媽之旅。娜娜、阿八、菲菲、芝士、黑黑和波波暫時放媽媽兩天假,讓我們瘋一下。


Lakeshore Hiking Trail 15 km (4-6 hours) strenuous
While circling Silent Lake, you pass through different types of forest, see colourful rock cuts and panoramic views. You can also access this trail by canoe at several points.


從樹林中往上看,一片藍天白雲

在湖中看到荷花,真的很美
