Searching for the final memories.

We are within days... of moving home to Minneapolis. The weather is cool &

pleasant. I am spending every free moment exploring to try to burn the

feelings, sounds & smells of Hong Kong into my memory banks. I know why the

phrase includes 'bank'. That's what it feels like to me.

This is a cool little 25 usd remote controlled plane from Japan. I thought it was cool because it had a bar code as its wing symbols but the packaging is even cooler.. Why? Well if you look closely on the lower lef of the package there is a qr code. When I snap a pict with my camera phone it takes me to a cool web site about my plane!

  Shenzen Metro Token

Shenzen Metro Token

This RFID token is used in the Shenzen metro. In Shenzen they also have RFID stored value octopus cards like hong kong. But for one time use you buy a token, wave it over the rfid reader and plop it into the exit token reader. Pretty slick and reusable.

While we are talking about melons. How about an approximately $150 usd square water melon from Japan. I wonder how many of these they really sell.
 
We moved to Hong Kong in July '05. Much of this blog is being populated from our camera phones (treo650's) we hope that this helps us keep in touch with our friends who are now so far away!
