Museum of London iPhone App - StreetMuseum
Pretty cool. This app comes with augmented reality view. You can point your camera to the location of the historical picture, and the picture will get overlaid on top of the video coming from camera.

MCM London Expo today
The London "Games, Manga, Movies" MCM Expo and Cosplay gathering. Very cool here with thousands of people. What happened there?
3 school girls came up to me and said, "Me and my friends think you are hot, can we hug you?"
"Oh." then I opened my arms and they screamed and squeezed me at the same time.
After that, I walked away and quickly checked my pocket to see if I lost anything. And everything's there.
Video of the expo will be up soon.
London, where geeks are cool. =D

Isoyaki Duck Kidney
From Aji Ichiban. Duck kidney in a vacuum bag with no preservatives.
Even though the bag has a plastic プラ logo, I think this is actually a
Hong Kong company. It sure was made in China.

How to type the British pound sign on a US keyboard
So Alt+0163 is the way to type pound sign.
163 used to just mean Netease to me (163.com), which is a popular Chinese portal.

Royal Dragon Karaoke
Visited the Royal Dragon restaurant for karaoke for the first time. This seems to be a popular place in central London. The karaoke box has a Chinese system with songs that are quite old. They even have a whole set of Liar's Dice 大話骰. Somehow I couldn't find a way to search by phonetics for Chinese or Japanese songs. 15 people with lots of Singapore Tiger beers cost 27 pounds per head. There was a button called "Malay Songs". I clicked the button, and there were no Malay songs.
