The off topic thread

The Apple stores in Hong Kong are a little creepy.

In the Shopping centre near Hong kong CityUniversity people wait outside up to an hour before the store would open. Then all the staff would applaud them when they opened the doors.

Every. Single. Day.

I've never been to the Apple store here in Perth so I have no idea if its a common theme.

Hong Kong city uni's just creepy, I must say. Kowloon isn't it?

The shopping centre there is the posh area of Hong Kong, everything's a little extra strange. Particularly HKCU, I pretended to be a student and walked around the place a year ago. People were definitely a bit stuck up to say the least

That's the best thing about the Notes tbh. The battery life is sooooo much better than the galaxy's

I love the size of them. I could never go back to an iPhone, they feel puny in my massive hands.

You can do anything on this note. It's the best thing for reading, especially bigfooty. You can just fit so much on the screen.

Yep Kowloon. I didn't get to see the other Unis so I cant really tell the difference.

That shopping centre, Festival Walk, is bloody expensive though I agree.

I was staying in Yau Kom Tau, Tsuen Wan and people didn't have too many nice things to say about the place.

I didn't have any dramas. Cheap food and beer.

Yep totally agree. Won't ever go back after this, as perfect a device as I've seen.

Incredibly durable as well. Mines copped a hard life, constantly drooped and apart from some scratches, it's perfectly fine.

Samsung fanboys

 

[Cooldude]

Oh wow that's really close to where I stay when I go there nowadays, where my relatives are

Tsuen Wan's okay, by Hong Kong standards a bit run down but the people there are nicer and everything's cheap

15 bucks HK dollar for a massive meal, everything's cheap there. Back when the currency was 1 to 8

 

[Cruyff14]

I haven't been to anywhere in Asia. Only place that semi interests me is Japan, but even then, I'd go to a lot of other places before there.

 

[Cooldude]

Japan is the best

I wish I was born Japanese

I want to get to NZ. Could be done on the cheap too.

Really wanna do USA/Canada though.

 

[Cooldude]

If I ever go to New Zealand I just wanna get on the LoTR set for the Shire and sing this

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah NZ would be great, very scenic, and it wouldn't be expensive at all.

I've only been to Europe twice, far and away Berlin, Paris & London were my favourites.

 

[glenferry23]

Went to NZ about a decade ago, quite spectacular especially the South Island. Queenstown in particular. Beautiful part of the world.

Cooldude where you born in Hong Kong? Love that city. Incredible how 6-7 million people live in such a (relatively) small area, and it just works. The public transport system is the best I've come across so far, just like clockwork.

And Lan Kwai Fong, put on a few clinics there back in the day.

 

[Cruyff14]

Clinics?

 

[Jatz]

Clinics?

For STD's. Glen had a looooooot of fun in Hong Kong

 

[Cruyff14]

I bet Glen is Asian too.

My mind is blown.

Just beat Liverpool 8-0 in FM.

Suck on that you ****ing Scouse pricks

Aguero with 3 goals and 3 assists.

May be a touch early, but does anyone know yet what games Fox Sports will be showing where? E.g. Which four will be on split screen, which will be on the main channels, etc.

Judging on your travel journal you must be mid thirties at the youngest?

Who in their 30's wants to go hang out with their parents for a 25th wedding anniversary?? I wouldn't go near that with a 50 ft pole!

24.
I'd go to England while they do most of their shit.
But I'd get to Paris for their anniversary, then dad/great uncle go on some historical war tour while I stay in Paris with mother and great aunt.

depends. If they cover a lot of the funds then i would hang out with them for a couple days and then piss off and go mental.

Have an iphone my self, but would rather a windows PC over a Mac.

NZ is great, been skiing there. Mums family is from there so been a few times when I was younger to. Best thing is their chocolate, lollies and juices
