Wally discovers MLM
Wally encounters a popular scenario of many MLM businesses during a job interview.
Personal note: this comic strip does not apply to all MLM businesses but unfortunately its story is far too common and sheds a bad light onto this business field.
Typhoon traffic
If you are a hardcore biker and always annoyed by the traffic in Hong Kong, scared to share the lane with the tram and don't want to ride in the middle of the night, just wait for the next typhoon to hit the city. With most inner-city areas still pretty safe, just make sure you got a mountain bike to jump the occassional garbage.
Central, 7.34pm - Typhoon Nuri
Bomb scare
Hong Kong's Causeway Bay MTR station had a bomb scare just hours before the opening ceremony of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Hong Kong is host to the equestrian events.
Tropical Storm Kammuri
What a great sight: 9am on a Wednesday in the heart of Causeway Bay and it's virtually empty. Usually at this time it would be the morning rush hour making it impossible to even stand at the place I took this picture but thanks to Tropical Storm Kammuri which by now has turned into a typoon signalled at number 8 on the local scale, most people stay at home as everything but emergency services, limited public transportation and some die-hard private shops remain open. If the signal stays up until past noon, the rest of the day will be off as well.
First in line
I did it! I finally, totally unplanned and by pure luck, was the first one in the waiting line at a local HSBC branch.
Not just any branch but one in Causeway Bay where usually the crowd spills back to the road to withdraw cash. It's not really a branch designed for counter services but nevertheless they do have some tables set up for personal paperwork.
