Went to Pittsburgh this weekend to catch a Penguins hockey game with Matt. Had some good seats and saw a lot of action, including a brawl at the end of the game.

Going to an early round day at Indian Wells turned out to be a great idea. Most of the top tennis players are still alive in the tournament, and there is much more going on at the tennis grounds: good matchups on smaller courts, where fans are close to the action; top ranked players on […]

My flight over here arrived more than 30 minutes early, even with a late departure. Getting a rental car was super easy, using Budget’s Fastbreak program. Five minutes away from my aunts house, got held up in a sobriety check point by the California police. Had to get some In-n-Out before the night was over. […]

Good times at the West Coast, as always. I saw a kickball game, walked in fog nearly all day sunday, and saw land’s end (the pacific ocean).

During my trip to Hong Kong last year, I’ve learned to appreciate three things that have made my stay more enjoyable: HSBC, 7-Eleven and McDonalds. First, on any overseas trip, you need a stable money system. I’ve relied on cash and even traveler’s checks before, but in HK, my HSBC Advance account is gold. Back […]

We went to Times Square in Causeway Bay for some dim sum this morning. The square is a pretty cool place, within a few minute walk from our hotel. Apparently it’s a popular place for holiday celebrations too, so we may venture out there for christmas or new year’s. Bonus: there’s a Nokia store there […]
