I've had a great time in Hong Kong. Also visited Macau. Weather's really fine although I kinda had problem with the food there. As I don't eat pork and it was a bit hard to explain with my zero understanding of Cantonese (and most of the time, their ... Read More

Checked the local service provider and none offers prepaid service. Well then I guess I'll have to return to my blackberry-when-used-abroad wisdom: always and only count on the free wi-fi connection. Sigh. Read More

Thanks Arlette, will do! Anyway, was wondering if the Blackberry Internet Service (BIS) provider in Hong Kong has any daily subscription I can use and what's the rate? I so much prefer not to have my number roamed abroad. Thanks in advance :) Read More

Oh Lifehouse is performing live on Dec 4th! Anyone who's up for a great live music by Jason Wade and the gang (also featuring Rivermaya from the Philippines), should head to Epicentrum where the concert takes place. Just an idea. Read More

Question about Indonesia? by dlinetackle
I know this may be a weird question. But how abundant are snakes in this country. I only ask, because I want to move abroad, currently located in US, but I am also deathly afraid of snakes... I don't like seeing them, being near them or even ...
snakes? Just how did exactly you imagine Indonesia to be? No way. Unless ppl keeping them as pets, chances are thin nowadays to find ones in the city. Oh btw, a little tip might be handy, always have some salt ready to whisk them away. D Read More

What's happening in HK in November? by FeeAcer
Hello all! :) I'm visiting Hong Kong early November and would like to know if anything is happening over there during that period. Also what is your advise on must-see in Hong Kong! Thanks for your help!
Noted! I'll be walking on my flats during the day, and slip on my heels for a night-out that requires only hotel-resto/cafe-hotel trip. That sounds wise enough, eh? Read More
