After 5.5 hours in flight time from Jakarta to Hong Kong finally I arrived. It was pretty long flight but is all good. I was here 12 years ago when it was under British Colony. Things changed last time I was in the airport that had to land surrounded by skycrappers

Now HK international airport has moved to much bigger space and more facilities the immigration is not that tight like it used to but price for local food has changed. Taxi cab cost me around 400hkd to my hotel in wan chai area.

Wan chai also known for the susie wong area surrounded by bars and clubs. Strategically located I found a lot of local food with reasonable price.

On the first day I met my Internet buddy Dr. John Chan, he arrived exactly after I checked in and we had a good chat and thanks to his hospitality
I know my way around a bit

the difficulty if you just bring mobile device like what I used to write this section then you be looking for paid service that can cost you around 20 hkd for 24 hour service. Finally I got connected and was so happy thanks to public wifi network called pccw. You can get your prepaid service from 7eleven. oh one more thing my indonesia mobile provider has also network called people and I can send and receive text MSG awesomely without the need to do any setting configuration.

my first late lunch I had local hong kong fried rice and followed by BBQ pork and crispy skin pork rice. yummy, am going out now for gym in my hotel and tomorrow I will be heading to Macau

see ya on another lost in translation Hong kong edition

Technology is amazing. I can remember when I have my first MP3 player it was called Creative Zen.
I love it, the compact and mobility and fits my hand’s palm is what I think is truly amazing with mono screen.
It seems that it has been the gadget that people looking for. iPod first started with the black and white screen. The capacity and its ergonomic design is what appeal to mass and the easy to manage music library using its own proprietary software iTunes.

I just got myself an iPod Touch.. seriously I was not looking for MP3 feature or being stylish or gadget must have. But I found another interesting feature that will help me to control and watch over my business online. The new iPod Touch loaded with version 1.14 has one interesting feature to download mail, browse the internet using its wifi feature. iPod touch is not blackberry so if you are thinking to be charged for every time you use the network then this gear is not what you wanted.

I do like iPod Touch as it gives me mobility, and being really convenient. I can bring this gear anywhere in the world without being too bulky like ordinary laptop with 22 hours music playtime, and 5 hours playback for video fully charged. This truly businesstainment gadget, setting up the gadget is also easy I got wireless protected area at my home with some MAC address restriction. I need to look up for the iPod MAC address, it is easily found under the settings icon then go to about then there is machine id in this format 00:xx:00:xx:00

A few drawback that it does not have a FREE software for you to read DOC files or PDF files to do that you got to upgrade to version 2.0 which will cost you about U$9.97 (Not much but worth it) from there your iPod once connected to the internet can download relevant application paid or FREE without doing the jailbreak.

I do not recommend to do jail break if you want to actually lose your warranty by doing it. A few useful application that I downloaded after I upgrade version 2.0 are Wordpress (Update your wordpress hosted blog or your wordpress.com blog), twitter (you can twitter), facebook (you can chat and update your friends profile) so far I am enjoying my gear and am ready to take off around the world Thanks Mac you just made my day!
