Ok, I thought this was a gimmick but it was like $15 HKD's at the Shatin Ikea. What the heck. I threw it into the basket. You all know that I bought this nespresso thing for the office. So I am sure that you are saying "why does Elwin need a 'milk frother' when he has a 15 bar steam pump at the office. Well the answer is mess my friend. You see you stick some milk in your cup and then nuke it, stick this little wand in it and you actually can create a pretty decent frothy milk for your expresso. Instant cappuccino. All you need to do is swish the wand in water and it is clean. With the machine, I dirty a frothing cup and the wand of the machine. Poop on that.. this thing really works, but you won't get microfoam (Microfoam is the grail, for latte art people.. if you care that much about your milk froth, which some people do and some are even more serious) Of course all I care about is that I can have a decent easy 'fancy' coffee drink out here in the New Territories of Hong Kong.

Johann, has been staying with us for the summer. He is the son of a friend of ours (and also a friend of ours too). Last year he said to Jenny: "I am going to take Arabic in College", Jenny said "What, are you an idiot? take Mandarin." He did and got A's so we sponsored him to come over here in Asia and use our apartment in Hong Kong as a base of operations. Last weekend was his last day so we took him to the Intercontinental for a 'send off'. Here is his blog post from my Treo 650:
What to say? It's been a hell of a summer...from the killing fields of Cambodia to ritz of the Hong Kong bayside, from the mountains ofYunnan to the bars of Hiroshima. I can't say I've learned anything I can package in a sentence but it definitely has been a pivotal opening chapter in my life. 've made many new friends i'll never see again but as parts of the moments i've lived they''l always be a part of my past and thusly my present. Where I go from here is still pretty obscured but chances are if you're reading this that i'd be honored to share the path. Enough sincerity, though. Let's fuckin' kick it when the time comes. This summer proves that location is a beatable obstacle.
