    Looking forward to the coffin hotel post. I’ve always been pretty curious about those things.

    Regarding the size of your hotel room, the “tourist home” where I stayed in Hong Kong was even smaller. You walked it and there was a room with a bed. The TV was mounted up on the wall, the headboard served as your bed-side table, and there was a small table at the foot of the bed for girls to do their makeup and such. The bathroom doubled as the shower. There’s just a showerhead in the bathroom.

    Dude, THAT was small. And I stayed in it WITH Susanne.

    [...] For this week, I focused more on the people of Dot Com Pho. I focused on Michael Kwan’s unfortunate need to sell himself for 50% off, Greg Morgan’s love for Michael Landsberg, Gary Ng’s obsession with gaming John Chow’s Blog. Of course we have the Super EGO himself, John Chow and his thoughts on not thinking at all. We also have a new member indoctrinated into the Dot Com Crew. Ray (can’t remember your last name) of FlipVancouver has reached “regular” status (whatever that means) and John Chow presented him with one of the many free USB drives that he poached from Gigabyte who is one of the sponsors of this week’s event. Ed Lau also makes a brief appearance as he bitches about his accommodations. [...]

    [...] not that I don’t want to see my family and friends at home but there’s so much to do in Tokyo that even the two and a half or so months I’ve spent here is not nearly enough time. Heck, I [...]
