Shanghai and Home

So we arrived in Shanghai, and were given a room on the 25th floor by the great Jono Wang. He took care of us wonderfully in Shanghai, making sure we had everything we desired.

Shanghai is not much of a city for tourist attractions. We went up to the 87th floor of the Grand Hyatt for Coffee, which was nice, and walked along The BUND and Nanjing road, which pretty much did it for the tourist bit. The highlight of shanghai is the fake stuff market. There is fake anything there.

Clothes, Watches, Sunnies, pretty much every designer label was faked there. I bought several items, invluding my omega speedmaster watch, which we had to go back and return cos it didnt show the correct time, and the actually exchagned it for another without a single word, and even apologised profusely!

Bought a stack of DVDs and headed home.

Sydney is Sydney. I walked around the CBD today, and noticed several new buildings have gone up, it seems like i have been away for so long, maccas has finished renovating and there are thigns i dont recognise.

Observations:

Sydney has the most number of asians out of any non asian country in the world.
Sydney is quite busy in the day, and not with that many tourists... i think. Tourists blend in a lot easier here, there isnt much diff between a FOB and a tourist.

My body is sore all over from ball. Knee hurts. Shoulder hurts.

Getting old.

So here I am, back to the place of my birth.

HK has the most residential high rises of any place i have been in the whole world :D Isnt it cool that i can make grand statements like that now :D

Staying at Kels place atm, and havent really seen much of the city.

First Impressions:

The streets are dirty.
I wanna go ball.

Tokyo Again

So I'm back in Tokyo, and about to hit HK. Japan has been one of the best countries that i have been to by far, be that because of my love of anime and miniskirts or for more rational reasons, it is hard for me to tell.

The fact is, I really wanna come back to this country and spend an extended period of time here, to really see what the culture is like, not just to scratch the surface like i have in this whirlwind week here.

Anyway, jsut a short post to let you all know im alive.

Also.

Lee call my mum, the computer is dead and she is going nuts.
Mum. What did you do to my computer. What exactly is wrong. You need to send more details if you want me to help. Just call Matthew.
