Welcome to the future!

@Gen777777 I’ve got one of those from Secret Santa. The Gingerbreadman with teeth. My son calls him “dude” lol

Gen Alpha Labubus look they are still in rehab

@Ajarncom Why pineapple is acceptable? Italians would lose their shit and you just go “one is enough” lol

So much needs to change. How can you have six chips and eight vine tomatoes? Too many peas. One of the grilled pineapple rings can go. One is enough. Bigger plate.

Tonight on a trail run around the Peak, I saw a masked palm civet for the first time. I thought it was a raccoon, but later found out it was a civet. I couldn’t snap a photo, but it looked like this cutie. #hongkong

Why there are just a few games with heart rate monitor input? It could be so interesting. Higher heart bpm makes your aim shaky and vision blurry, monsters feeding on your fear get stronger or even pace of the game and visuals could depend on it.

Fortunately, this all stopped after I left the peninsula—the fuel supply improved, and they also built geothermal power plants to generate electricity locally. Unfortunately, many of us may soon face this situation in different parts of the world. I hope we don’t have to.

This happened quite frequently, and everyone was angry at the government for failing to keep tankers arriving on time to maintain a stable electricity supply. Yet it was the reality we had to accept: waking up at 3 a.m. during scheduled power windows to cook, wash clothes etc

I remember growing up in Kamchatka in the 90s. Fuel tanker delays caused major electricity shortages and no heating during winter, sometimes for weeks. I used gas to boil water, poured it into plastic bottles, and placed them in bed to warm up and avoid freezing through the night

@ecomEddie It’s ranked number 1 hotel on Tripadvisor for Singapore. They wouldn’t be able to retain this rank without proactive issue management.

spent a few nights at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore last week and it completely broke my brain about what customer service actually means 30 minutes after we checked in, a hotel worker accidentally opened our suite door for different guests. She saw me on the sofa, apologised, closed the door. Five minutes later: WhatsApp message from my hotel rep apologising, confirming it was our room, their error. They later refunded 50% of the night. Waived all our extras- food, drinks, amenities. Sent gifts to the room. Not because we complained. We didn't even mention it. They just handled it. I haven't experienced anything like that in years. Not in the UK, not anywhere in Europe or America. The bar has dropped so low that basic proactivity feels like magic. All the little details. Just... showing up. Being responsive. Caring that they made a tiny mistake. anyway I'm staying there again next time I'm in Singapore The thing that gets me is how rare this is now. It shouldn't be remarkable that a luxury hotel actually delivers on the luxury part. But here we are.

Planning a business trip to Spain. Next open slot for visa appointment at Spanish Consulate in Hong Kong is on… 20 April (45 days from now). I was expecting that it could take some time, but this is just too much.

The key word here is “wasted”

@ATRightMovies “Been there done that”

What do you think the words are?

Mine is: not going there

That said, “research” always takes so much time—I usually finish my movie snacks before we settle on what to watch.

@mirthful_152 Жуть, очень неприятно

@ivanbogdan Однажды ночью я гуляла по гонконгу, потому что я привыкла, что он безопасный, но потом поняла, что меня сталкерит мужик (иностранец восточной наружности), он ходил за мной, заходил в 7/11, потом попробовал заговорить, типа эй девочка, а тебе не страшно, но я успела зайти в отель

Hong Kong is a relatively safe place and after a while, you get used to it and start taking it for granted. Then one day something happens, in my case it was a huge drunk guy trying to smash into my apartment past midnight, and it gets a lot scarier than it's supposed to be.

I run every day for 20 minutes & if I miss a day, I add 20 minutes to the next day. This has truly been a game changer. Tomorrow, I'm supposed to run for 4 months.
