Tchabuduo

Because I’m working in HK, I need to apply for an ID.

After making an appointment online, I went to the immigration office, and I was really surprised by the efficiency of the government staff.

You just have to come with your passport then take a ticket and wait for your number to be called while you fill in a document. After 15 minutes, I had to see an clerk, she took my picture and my thumbs’ print.  Then wait again for few minutes,  meet an officer to check your name and thumb’s print that told me to come back in 2 weeks to get my new ID.

After two weeks, you just need to show up, and in 5 minutes you get out of the Immagration tower with your new ID.

In France where I come from, it will take you 3 weeks (and maybe even more…) and lot of administrative paper to do it…….

Someone told me that last year, the HK government re-new their ID for their entire population, in only one year…. Try to do this in France!!!!

Back from Malaysia, I was able to enjoy the new Eco class on a A330 of Cathay Pacific.
It’s much better than their 777… For me the first point it’s that you have much more space for your legs, I still have 5 cm left after seating !!!
Also the Video On Demand system was “almost” perfect, you have a selection of more than 100 movies, TV series, documentary, etc….. During a 3H30 journey, you don’t know what to choose…
But their system crash 2 times
During the reboot of their machine, I was surprised to see that it is using a Red Hat linux distribution to make it work.

Always wash your chopsticks (with tea) before starting to eat…

It’s been now almost 4 months I’m in HK, and it rains only few times.

Every morning the sky is blue like in the picture, it’s better than vitamin to have a good mood.

But it seems that in April/May…. it can rain for weeks

Thanks to my stay in Shanghai, I discover the KTV and at the same time, Jay Chou, S.H.E., Shin, Jacky Cheung, …, and Wang Lee Hom. I used to sing “Kiss Goodbye” several time.

After I attend a H U G E concert of Jay Chou in Shanghai, I was looking forward to see Wang Lee Hom. I’ve just see that he is going to come to Macao @ CotaiArena on January. I hope it will be a good, will bring back some picture from there :-p

Wang Lee Hom

First, why I use TchaBuDuo for this blog…..

It comes from the pinyin “cha bu duo”, should be pronouced “Tcha Boo Duo”, and means “pretty much” in chinese.  I used to live almost 2 years and a hald in China, Shanghai, and I use this word lot of times. I like it because it very easy to pronouce it and learn it!!!

Now I’m working in Hong Kong, this blog will be used to describe the day to day things I encounter
