B- and I are headed to HK to celebrate Christmas HK style. Not exactly the same as NYC but pretty good alternative. We used Hotel Travel.com to book our accomodations at Cosmopolitan Hotel @ Wan Chai. Sitting in Taoyuan International Airport now typing this, using my CHT HSPDA modem to get online.

You’re an Oyster! You don’t have a ton of complexity or identity on your own, so you’ve made an effort to focus on making a nice and sturdy house. It gives you the appearance of being interesting as well as a good place to hide from your critics and those who might expose your secrets. [...]

Having just gotten cable tv this week, it’s kind of funny to think that we have more channels, but still not that much substance to watch. At the least, we now have mucho sports – very exciting to see the Mets doing really, really well in the first four games of the season. Of course, [...]

Definitely wishing everyone a happy Chinese New Year.  A big deal here (Taiwan gets 9 days, including weekends).  I’m typing this from the Taoyuan International Cathay Pacific lounge.

Hectic day…. actually since the past couple of days.  Yesterday I came in, bang bang, from the airport, having faced a bit of a daily at TPE.  Apparently HK was faced with a ‘red rain’ warning meaning the strength of the rain was very high.  Second level below the ‘black’ level which would’ve effectively shut [...]

Quick outline, will fill it out later: Breakfast at YMCA cafe – the “American Breakfast” is kind of really an English breakfast – 2 eggs, bratwurst links, hash browns, fruit salad, toast, coffee and orange juice.
