Tadaima~! Got back from Hong Kong on Thursday night and I’m missing all the food and atmosphere from there already. Not the first time, though. You can go out to eat anything of your choice much cheaper than here and there’s just so much more variety. Then there’s always lots of people walking around no matter what time it is too.

No idea why they decided to revert the Cantonese name from “Ding Dong” back to “Doraemon”… Did the Japanese producers complain about or something?

While in HK, there was a computer fair at Sham Shui Po for a few days and memory cards were going at super cheap prices. I went along to see what goodies were there hoping to pick up a bigger (and cheap) PSP memory card. Naturally, the place was packed and you could hardly move around of course.
