Twitter friend Ray Kwong’s tweet about lunch today at Causeway Bay made me wish I could take off for Hong Kong. Guess I’ll just have to experience it virtually in photos from former trips.

Speak Fluent Japanese Without Saying A Word (domo arigato to Twitter friend @raykwong)
http://www.japanprobe.com/?p=2092&feature=player_embedded
Came across this amusing video through Twitter and Twitter buddy @raykwong. It reminds me of my son saying that during his summer internship at a Japanese marketing firm (in Hawai‘i), the office could communicate entirely through grunts. This video does not display the full spectrum of these monosyllabic, non-verbal but totally audible expressions, but you will get the gist. Or maybe the h-s-s-s-s of it.

Singing Ship Skeleton: When the music fades
From one of my favorite reads, Shanghaiist http://shanghaiist.com/2009/02/24/photos_aboard_a_singing_ship_in_sha.php?gallery0Pic=1#gallery, select photos of the now abandoned New Century, docked along the Huangpu River in Shanghai. You can almost hear the music and imagine dancing spectres.
See all the Ric’s photos and read the accompanying story here http://shanghaiist.com/2009/02/24/photos_aboard_a_singing_ship_in_sha.php?gallery0Pic=1#gallery

My pikake plant is blooming!
I love the smell of pikake (Hawaiian word for the jasmine flower) - and my little potted pikake plant is blooming! Yay! Not enough for a lei, however, but it makes me happy. By the way, I would rather have a pikake lei more than any other.
