Finally got to see Heiward Mak's newest film "DIVA" starring Joey Yung and Chapman To. What a brilliant move to put one of Hong Kong's biggest singing stars in the title role of a film about a big Hong Kong singing star!
A sure fire hit, right? can't go wrong, all the drama and behind the scenes secrets of the entertainment world interspersed with the l...Read more
Just did a grocery run to my local Wellcome (one of the two main grocery chains here in HK).
I was thinking about getting the store brand "First Choice" pasta...
It claims on the bag that it's made in Italy.... while I was checking the back of the package to confirm, I saw that at least this particular pack of pasta...Read more
Yesterday I went biking with my friends Nat, Drafus and Alex. Drafus and Alex had recently bought some snazzy folding bikes and were eager to try riding on some of the many paths in the New Territories I often ride on the weekends here in HK. Nat rented a bike at Taipo and I brought my bike up by train as I have been doing since buying this newest HK bike a few months back (cause I'm tired of them getting stolen!).
Last night we went to see "Naked Soldier", the latest incarnation in Wong Jing's film series started with 1992's "Naked Killer" featuring Simon Yam and Chingmy Yau.... which by now is a cult classic for its film noir feel mated with exploitative sexuality and over the top violence. 2002's "Naked Weapon" starring Daniel Wu and Maggie Q (and Anya Wu and Andrew Li...Read more
Last night I caught the premiere of "GF*BF" at the opening for the Summer edition of the
Hong Kong International Film Festival. In attendance were the three leads from the flm and the director Yang Yache -
A HK film which has been on my DVD pile for a long time. I watched it through airplay using my AppleTV last night. There's basically one reason I wanted to watch this movie... not because its gangster directed by Herman Yau (very competent director of course), but most ...Read more
Long time etchy blog readers will recall that I am a certified Japanese Castle super fan... (see my 'best of' gallery here).
Although I always am down to visit a new castle when I have the chance, it has been a while since I moved away from Japan, so I don't mind visiting a few 'greatest hits' a second (or third) time when I have the chance.
Since I was in K...Read more
Sorry my Kansai blogs are so late. its almost a month late! The next stop in Osaka was the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan ( 海遊館), a big tourist destination in the Osaka waterfront area:
I've been to another aquarium in Kyushu that was really well done so I thought this one may be worth while. It is pretty big and they do have a lot of stuff, some in small enclosures o...Read more
Last weekend I went to Shenzhen for a brand party. It was for a new ginseng based drink from the US named "Mr Pink". Their shindig was at the Grand Hyatt Shenzhen -
I hadn't heard of it before but it just launched in LA a few months ago and apparently they're the official ginseng drink of the LA Dodgers!
In addition to the symposium events going on downstairs, Liberatum HK also had an exhibition space that was connected to an activity area (ping pong and snack foods!) I didn't have much time, so I only checked out a bit, no time to watch all the multimedia installations unfortunately. :-(
The photo exhibi...Read more
