Sounds cool to try, but I probably won't buy it long-term, unless I don't have access to a microwave or something. There are microwaves at work, at home, and even at the campus cafeteria, so it's more of a "want" than a "need."
BTW, check out this vid for those of you who haven't seen it before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6rmqMK5yo4 Hebe (a member of the girl group called "S.H.E" in Taiwan) slips during a live interview in Taiwan. That's pretty embarassing although Heb...
I walked into a post before back in junior high school. It was a waist-high post (to prevent cars from entering the school grounds). Some guys were yelling somewhere, so I looked over my shoulder while I was walking and didn't see the post. My sister...
Oh, damn it. I was thinking about visiting Japan for the first time and going to Wonfes. I guess I'll have to delay it. But this is weird -- it's a faulty escalator and craps happens. All you need is to have staff funneling people through the escalat...
My vote goes to traditional. If you break down your target audience, I would think it ranks like this (in terms of popularity): Taiwan, Hong Kong, and then China. Both Taiwan and Hong Kong uses traditional, so you'll satisfy most of your target audie...
This happened to me A LOT back in junior high school. Punks would purposely put their shoulder into you to show that they're tough. Nothing really comes out of it (i.e., no fights happen), but everyone starts bracing themselves whenever they walk bec...
I don't think it's just Thai singers... I think ALL Asian countries do that. :P There are lots of quality singers in HK, TW, etc., but they're independent artists, not mainstream. Unfortunately, good looks + bad singing = sales, but bad looks + good...
I never watched nor listened to Thai music before, but this one is pretty good! My impression of it is it's like a cross between K-pop and Cantopop. MV style is almost identical to most HK MVs.
Yeah, I saw this one before. Absolutely awesome. It seems like all Kanu Unchou figures look really nice (and more expensive too). I'd say she has one of the best hair of all figures. Griffon has a Kanu Unchou figure as well that I really like -- that...
I think most here forgot that downloading music, videos, games, applications, etc. are considered to be stealing if it's not from a legit source. This includes anime fan subs or gravure videos.
Yeah, it's a crazy reason, but unfortunately, that's what it's like for Hello! Project groups. Miki Fujimoto was kicked out of Morning Musume because she was caught with a boyfriend. She basically went from top dog to "no name" overnight. BTW, that p...
Working in Japan would be fun, but it's not because it's Japan -- it's because Tokyo is one of the top 3 finance cities in the world along with NY and London. For me, it'll be a dream to work in any one of those 3 cities. However, Tokyo would probabl...
I have plans to do a MBA, but not right now -- the cost for a MBA is really expensive. The MBA program from the University of British Columbia (the best local program where I live) costs $39,000 CAD or so, and it barely cracks the Top 100 in Financia...
Yeah, it's going to be in overkill mode for a while. It's to show everyone not to mess around. The cops want to put on a show to deter other people from even thinking of doing anything stupid.
Yes, unfortunately, I have 2 fake figures in my collection. I bought both when I was still quite new to collecting figures, so I didn't know what was real and what was fake. eBay is a good source for figures ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. There...
If you like cute songs/groups, check out a group called "C-ute" from Hello! Project, the company behind Morning Musume and Berryz Kobo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zddYh2e0nbw I'm a die hard Morning Musume fan, but C-ute's songs are much are catch...
haha, yeah, I stay up until the morning as well. On the weekends, usually 4am to 5am. But of course, not during school/work days... 12pm or earlier and it's ZZZ time
Oh, I've heard of Tabo before. There are several news stories about him on mainstream news publishers before (I think BBC did a story on him as well). He actually rented an entire apartment as a storage for his dolls. ^^;
Luckily, I'm in Vancouver, BC, so there are tons of Japanese (and HK/Taiwan, South Korean) snacks here. Hmm, I guess that's the reason why my waistline is getting a little soggy. ^_^;
Nice changes! Speed is much faster compared to the prior website, but it's still relatively slow. But this website is so good that it's worth the wait. :P
