I’ve had a long night, so I’m going to keep this short. (Actually I had a really long rant half written, I’ve decided to delete it.) I’ve met alot of people, and each and every one of them has changed my life in ways that I can’t even describe, and I’ve gotta thank them all for [...]
So this weekend, I watched a movie, 3 games of the World Cup (and contrary to what the government believes, there was alot of chips and beer instead of tea and fruits), went hiking, did some shopping (very close to getting those bookends I’ve been looking for) and got a haircut (something I’ve been meaning [...]

So continuing from part 1 … after abit of wandering around Central we ran into a large section of the street that was closed off to cards and surrounded by police. Not wanting to miss the crowd, we jumped the “Do Not Cross” tape and walked towards the direction the protesters were coming from. Very [...]

Flickr photostream from my hike the past Sunday over at Cheung Chau (長洲), Hong Kong. edit: seems like Flickr photostream embeds are not working right now. Too lazy to fix so you’ll have to go to the stream directly via the link above.
