THE VENETIAN, MIXTURE OF FUN AND GREEDINESS

"The Venetian" may be the most famous recreation spot in Macau. The Venetian provides the service of hotel, shopping, nice dining, performance, and casino (may be the most attractive part). Most people can enjoy stay or visit at The Venetian.

I think it is fun to stay at The Venetian one time, but I will not go there again. Since I am not crazy about casino. There should be more fun in Hong Kong than Macau to me.

SHORT VISIT TO JUMING MUSEUN

Had a chance to visit Juming Museum(朱銘美術館) which is a nice place to enjoy the master pieces of Juming. Due to the tight schedule and the heavy rain, I could only see less than 50% of the exhibition.

I will arrange another visit soon.

TRANSITION

Jan. 1, 2006 driving for friend's wedding
Dec. 22, 2008 at Shei-Pa National Park

After more than 9 years, I finally sold my 2001 Mazda Premacy which has been working for over 130,000km. Since old friend is gone, here comes the new friend, the 2006 Ford Escape which is almost a gift from my uncle. Though this Ford is more than 4 years old, uncle put only 12,000km on it.

This Ford Escape meets my requirements very much; SUV type, safe, big trunk, can handle some rough road, and no fancy electronic stuffs. And it still runs like a new car.

I think this Ford will bring a lot of fun to our family. I will take good care of it for sure!

FAREWELL HOWARD

Howard Fang: July 2, 1959~September 15, 2010

Shooter (Howard with his "smoking hearts") and RO (me)

Dear Howard,

I think we have known each other for over 10 years. It all started because of having the same hobby, Survival Game. Later, you guided me to appreciate good watches and I also taught you to enjoy photo shooting. We also share joys and sorrows. There was nothing but friendship between us.

All friends were shocked by your sudden leaving from us. Now you can not join our activities, but we will remember you and keep you in mind forever.

May you rest in peace.



One of your good friends,
James

STEEL FISTS OF SOUTH KOREAN ARMY

Because of 60th anniversary of Korean War, there is a special exhibition "Inside the DMZ" at War Memorial of Korean. This exhibition tells stories about Korea from Korean War to Today's Korea. Because 99% of the instruction of this exhibition are in Korean, so I could not fully understand all the displays.

But there are 2 items definitely getting everyone's attention, the K2 Black Panther Tank and K21 Infantry fighting vehicle. These 2 advanced armoured vehicles are the pair of steel fists of modern South Korean Army to against the invasion from the north. From my personal point of view, I think K2 and K21 may be the best fighting vehicles among all Asian countries, also are capable to compete with some cutting edge tanks of western countries.
