Before i get to the next blog about Saturday night in Shanghai, let me first go back and tell you where we were staying...  上海に泊まったのホテルが一寸話したい。

Wax Off?

back in HK...   interesting trip!  

A bit tiring, but a lot of good networking opportunities and valuable for AnD's future I think...  

i'll blog more about it later when i get a chance to catch my breath... (this week will be super busy too though...  of course)

In a somewhat related note:

Does anyone know how to get wax off of clothes?  I got candle wax all over my shirt and bag today...   

 (and before you ask, no it wasn't some weird S&M thing...)

Pat showed me around the Shanghai Racks, where they did that fancy opening party last month...Read more

Shanghai 1 - Diesel x Adidas Shanghai Event

In the Mainland for the second weekend in a row.   Pat and I took a last minute trip up.  He has some meetings and since I missed the Racks Shanghai opening last month, I figured I shouldn't pass up another one.  今出張為に上海に居る、先月のRacksイベント参加できませんから、この週末Pat君と行って居る。Maglev電車で空港から乗った：

I convinced Pat to take the maglev train... it wasn't faster than taking a taxi from the air...Read more

Guilin 2 - Li River Cruise on a Rainy Day...

Sorry i've been falling behind! things have been pretty busy and it looks like i'll be out of town all weekend AGAIN, so let me rush to get this out there for you guys to enjoy...

My pictures from last Saturday - my mom and I took a cruise down Guilin's Li River, all the way down to the town of Yangshuo... along the way passing some of the world's best scenery... except we picked the worst possible weekend to go,  cause it was raining and cloudy most of the time! :-(
