Sometimes its hard to predict which artists will get a lot of attention on the site and which ones will go unnoticed. A lot of it of course has to do with how active they are and how engaging their content is. Once in a long while I highlight some new artists that are particularly interesting. I figured I'd do one now and highlight two newer additions to our community: One artist who has caught a lot of attention lately is Candace Kita, who blogs A LOT and her content is very engaging (photo + short text + humor + person touc...Read more
Its not exactly a secret, but not a lot of people know about the 'Ghost Platform' at Sheung Wan's Rumsey Street exit. Apparently in the original plans for the MTR in the early 70s, there was supposed to be a second cross harbor interchange between lines here instead of just the one that now exists at Admiralty. In anticipation of the two line station, they built a portion of a...Read more
Best described as a Japanese comedy/sci-fi/romantic melodrama.

Last Tuesday was a really full day for me. I was in Beijing in the morning and flew back to HK in the early evening. As soon as I landed I ran for the airport express train because I had a tight schedule. I had to run to the Macau Ferry Terminal (after a brief detour to the office to drop off my suitcase). I had a boat to catch! It was the launch party for our friends' new Macau website, Macau24.com (you may have seen some banners running for it). Its basically a nightl...Read more
Being a fan of Asian films and music, and also as I deal a lot with marketing, advertising and in particular celebrity related advertising, I pay a LOT more attention to display advertisements nowadays compared to before. In the Beijing subway they have some interesting ads up. In Wang Fujing station they have the entire wall in the concourse covered with a giant Hyundai ad:One way to get attention in...Read more

A few of you probably noticed the beautiful model who joined us for dinner in my last blog, Miss Zhang Lanxin. It turns out she is currently on the cover of FHM magazine in China. Today while I was walking home I saw her face on a news stand. For the sake of this blog and all my loyal readers, I forced myself to buy it. :-P我 Read more
