An interesting and typical Hong Kong story happened today:

As I was strolling along my office area during lunch I noticed this excitement around one of the traffic junctions.

Two of the electric trams had collided somewhere smack in the Causeway Bay shopping area. Up to 40 of the
passengers have been injured in this collision - but fortunately no one was seriously hurt and most had minor injuries.

But the interesting thing is all the fuss around these two trams afterwards. I arrived at the scene when both trams
were already empty and all passengers had been carried away.

Still though - I counted FIVE ambulances, THREE fire trucks, FOUR tv crews, and about 50 odd staff of the various
public forces. Most of them were just loitering around, while their managers seemed to be frantically speaking into
their walkie talkies. Nothing happened here at all for most of the time!

It would have taken one of the tramway’s own maintenance cars to get the two trams back up the tracks and
scurry them off to the repair workshop.

This is just crazy!

Nadine brought some milk from a trip to Canada… I don’t think this would sell in Holland.

As you can see I’m very busy currently. So expect some delays in replies

Interesting sign from a mainland China hospital. I wouldn’t go here if I were a woman…

LOL: Today’s Dilbert about business ideas:

:)

Another sign from China with interesting translation to English. The picture was taken by a friend who recently visited Guangzhou.

I’m gonna draw some crazy stuff today!

I was handed an informative leaflet at Beijing Airport, about how to take a taxi from the Airport to the city.

Well, sounds like good service if you’re here for the first time, and sounds like Beijing is getting ready with some early preparations for the Olympic games coming up.

However, there’s still some work to do as the below capture of the English notes demonstrates…

I can kind of get the meaning of 1. and 2. but I’m lost as to what note 3. is trying to tell us.

Just recently I filled in a product registration card for my new mobile phone.

Check out the job position options available.

Is Dopod far ahead of it’s time? Or is really a significant percentage of the registering population active in this ‘field of expertise’?

Matthijs was sleeping like in the attached picture the other day. Is he already stressed out by something?

Impossible I’d say, he’s got a great life so far, filled with drinking milk, getting sponge baths and being spoiled with attention the whole day.

It must have been his first hangover - too much milk…
