Soccer Goalkeeper Attempts Hockey Style Save, Gets Nut Shot Instead

What happens when a soccer goalie gets most of his knowledge of guarding the goal from playing video games... hockey video games. I play in a weekly soccer league.  Our team is called the HK Orbits.  Lately I've been playing goalkeeper, with mixed results. We have an awesome starting goalkeeper in actor/stuntman Michael Chan.  But…

Spotted an Ugly Sonic toy in the Wild, but this One is Actually Kind of Cute

Many blocked him out of our memories, the Ugly version of Sonic the Hedgehog that burned its way into our night terrors in the first teaser trailer for the Sonic the Hedgehog live action movie. Thankfully his design was changed in the wide release of the movie which, no only went on the become a…

I Capsized a Pink Flamingo and Barely Lived to Tell the Tale

A story of man vs beast... and by beast, I mean a giant flamingo... Of course, this wasn't an actual flamingo. It was one of those big, inflatable, pool floats.

The Most British Outfit in Hong Kong

I found it... in Marks and Spencer on Queens Road Central, on a men's section mannequin... behold, the most British outfit in Hong Kong. I'm tempted to buy this ensemble and go as Pip from "Great Expectations" to the next "dress like a literary character costume party". Don't believe me that this is the most…

Mid-Autumn Festival Faux Pas at Customs

Cactus in a Tea Cup: A Love/Hate Story

It was a rainy day in Hong Kong as I tried to take my parents around town while they visited from out of town.  We dodged the rain by ducking into a ceramics shop in Sheung Wan.  The shop carried all kinds of ceramics: bowls, plates, tea sets, pots for plants, etc.   In a…
