Sanzai.co.jp 散財 Money Logging Starts
I was inspired by a young millionaire who retired at 30 years old. She worked for 16 years of her life, and she had many notebooks detailing every single dollar she spent. "I want to know whether I have spent or saved each single dollar."
The idea was very interesting. I did some book keeping on my spending before, but I never could tell where every dollar had gone.
Yesterday, I saw my friend has a sanzai list on her blog, and I thought it would be nice to give it a try.
I can input my spending through browser, or simply sending an email with a few lines. Let's hope I can keep up the effort of logging m spendings.

t.sina.com.cn Twitter function
The twitter-function implemented on sina.com.cn supports pictures. twitter.com only recently starts to support pictures.
In addition, the geotag from iphone pictures got pulled out from the picture and can show the location on a chinese google map pop-up.
There's a "get the sofa" button at the bottom, which encourages people to comment on others who are micro-blogging at close physical locations.

Shopping at Langham Place Hong Kong
My final evening in Hong Kong was spent shopping at Langham Place. Langham Place is a 12-storey shopping mall and office complex. It has a big H&M at the ground floor. Inside, you can find long escalators that take you all the way up to the 12th floor, and u can spend your time gradually walking your way down.

Traditional Chinese Keyboard
Visiting the two places - Hong Kong and Taiwan - where Traditional Chinese is still used. They have QWERTY keyboards like this.
Farmville. Done.
I started playing farmville 7 months ago in Hong Kong, and I ironically finished the game in Hong Kong today. When I am staying only one night here.
Level 70 was the original farmville final stage. Over these 7 months, I gained 10 levels per month. That's one level every 3 days. This journey was a test of my ability to pursuit my goals. Over the course of 7 months, I set many goals. From testing the limit of my patience, to testing the limit of my boredom tolerance, to learning how to co-op with people, and to buying the expensive 600k Estate home. The most important test I passed was the test of not giving up. Done. And "Done is the engine of more." (Cult of Done)

Hyper Japan After Thoughts
Hyper Japan was quite a bit smaller than MCM Expo, but not that small. Hopefully video will be up soon.
For your information, my t-shirt is the outfit of Ryu in the game Street Fighter.
Don't know what the character behind me is called. =X

Segway Owner Running off the Cliff
This is the saddest news about Segway.
The news went on and said this guy, Jimi Heselden, actually grew up in Leeds in UK. And Segway is ironically illegal in Britain except in private property. He donated 10 million pound to charity a week ago before he died.
It's interesting that he has to make Segway big in the US instead of UK. I remember seeing police riding a Segway up the steep Berkeley slope back in College.

TV with subtitle in France
Second day in France, getting French TV with subtitle works already. And while I am typing this, WIFI and internet works too. We are probably one of the first ones to get internet, because everyone else seems to need to wait at least 2 weeks.
An almost 50 euro WinTV Mini stick from Hauppauge gets me 4 channels out of the 18 possible channels. =D
