Typhoon Nuri is here in Hong Kong today. It is still signal 9 hoisted, one lower the highest possible of 10. Winds are very strong out here and city is in lock-down mode. All offices, stock markets, shops and public transport is shut.

I just went downstairs of my building to take some pictures shown below. All of HK media was here to cover typhoon. A lot of people like me were also downstairs to ‘experience’ typhoon during a short span of no rain.

French Spiderman does it again in Hong Kong. He climbed the 45-story Four Seasons Hotel in Central Hong Kong yesterday to the shock of office workers at lunch time. He had climbed Cheung Kong Center in Hong Kong before already.

Here is the video of the climb.

This is what happens if you translate Chinese to English word-by-word by using a tool like Babelfish. Still, I have believed that Sabina swims the shop. Now I am wondering how do I swim my home?

Oasis Airlines, a Hong Kong based budget carrier announced today that it will cease operations effective immediately and apply for liquidation. The news came on the heels of huge losses in the wake of rising oil prices and operations out of one of world’s most expensive Hong Kong airport.

Unlike other budget airlines, Oasis operated long haul flights to London and Vancouver from Hong Kong and offered in-flight meals and entertainment. They also had business class seats on flight which were normally cheaper than regular-priced economy seats from competitors such as Cathay Pacific.
