This was a view from my hotel room in Beijing downtown. Just like all other major developing cities in Asia, Beijing cannot be exceptional. A beautiful Chinese traditional houses are located just back of my hotel which is one of the modern and luxury buildings in Beijing. This contrast reminds me much of 60’s Tokyo and 70′-80’s Seoul. Well, thanks to unorganized urban planning, I had enough cough through every Beijing trip. This is only noon time and smog is quite bad as seen on picture.
So United first class lounge in tokyo is really good. I mean it may have same or similar furniture and facilities as other airline, but their shower service on first class lounge is definitely freshing me up after 14 hours flight. Since I often used ORD – NRT – PEK route instead of direct, I love having a shower before down to Beijing… Maybe I should stop by and seeing around friends in Tokyo.
I do not recall I had taken any picture of HK habour before. It’s absolutely beautiful… Laser show over buildings are cool and start to think about synchronization between light beams and radio tunes. So I researched about it (maybe I’m the only one who doesn’t know the fact…). So it’s called, a symphony of lights and sounds like synchronize sound, laser lights and building lights… Is it really sync’d?
After my short travel to Shenzen, I was back to HK to visit Adrian’s place. What a beautiful view from the top of the apartment building. He lives in HK island has the best view of HK (in my 2 cents). Especially I have not been to HK for a long time, so it was great time to talk with my best buddy. I miss my old days where I used to hang out with him all night at Milson’s point (Sydney).
Some people thought that we are some type of higher positioned or ranked officer. We are just designers who happens to be there to know what they do. This type of exaggerated welcoming message makes me so shameful to think about what I do… daily. Well, at least I was a VIP during 4 hours visit in this factory. – By the way, using Red with Yellow text was quite impressive. It reminds me much of propaganda or poster from streets in Beijing.
