14 hour day

Yeah I didn’t get a chance to post anything yesterday.  I had no idea that I would be working a 14 hour day.  I was asked to come by an internal event happening at a hotel here in Hong Kong at 8:00am to help with the setup.  I got there at ten till eight and [...]

Hot and wet

Hong Kong is a really nice place.  Aside from the pollution and the jungle weather it really is a beautiful place to live.  When the pollution haze lifts during a holiday and you can see all the way from one end of the country to another (it’s preety small), it’s just amazing.  On a clear [...]

All this time…

All this time that I’ve been living in Hong Kong, I thought the closest Papa John’s Pizza was in Shanghai, PRC.  I just now discovered, with less than a month to live in Hong Kong, that there is actually one right here!  It’s in Yuen Long.  OMGWTFBBQPWND!
I must have it.  Now where the hell is [...]

Hong Kong: Closed

A severe tropical storm passed through Hong Kong this morning and the goverment instated the highest weather warning of Typhoon Signal 8 at around 10:30pm last night.  Because of that, our office along with pretty much everything else in Hong Kong, was shut down until the warning signal was lowered to a 3.  It makes [...]

Less than a week

In less than a week Muse and our two dogs and two cats will be flying back to the States.  In less than a week I’m going to be quite lonely.
This morning I stayed home to help Muse get all four of the fuzzy kids to the vet for their final health inspection and certification.  [...]

Lego Indiana Jones

So we’ve watched the new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie (which I still say is an outrageuosly long title for a movie).  Before that we refreshed our Indy knowledge rewatching Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.  [Have [...]

Garsh Dangit

Garsh Dangit: Space Ranger.  Hehe.  Sounds funny.
It seems that I never got around to making a post yesterday.  Which is pretty damn lame if you ask me.  Which you didn’t but if you had that would have been what I would have said.  I have a stash of jokes and pictures that can be used [...]

Dragon Boat Races

Today is another obscure public holiday here in Hong Kong.  Everyone gets off work for the Dragon Boat races.  I have no idea why this is but I’m sure there’s some ancient cultural significance to it all.  Or its just because there are 8 billion dragon boat teams and no one would show up to [...]

TGIF & a long weekend

It’s Friday once again and luckily this particular Friday leads into a long weekend.  Pretty much every one of our offices in the Asia-Pacific region is closed on Monday for various reasons.  For Hong Kong and Mainland China it’s for the Dragon Boat Races.  I haven’t seen them but since we’ve sworn off local festivals [...]

A Sort of Homecoming

I believe Muse has already let the kitteh out of the bag, so to speak, but we will be coming home to St. Louis this year.  Muse will be leaving Hong Kong before me to get the pets all sorted and safe.  I was the first to arrive between us and I’ll be the last [...]
