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)

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
