Weird haircut to celebrate Hong Kong’s return

June 28, 2007 by Yein Jee

A young man from central China’s Henan Province has asked his barber to cut his hair into the shape of eight Chinese characters – 庆香港回归十周年 – which literally means “Celebrate 10th Anniversary of Hong Kong’s Return.”

Kudos to the barber for the nice cut. I can’t even write as neat with a pen lol.

Locusts invade Kansai International Airport

June 15, 2007 by Yein Jee

According to Mainichi, a huge numbers of migratory locusts have invaded the island of the No 2 runway at Japan’s Kansai International Airport that is due to open on August 2, prompting an extermination effort.

Kansai International Airport is located on an artificial island in the middle of Osaka Bay, off the shore of Sennan district in Osaka Prefecture.

I never knew that there are locusts in Japan. The locusts were first noticed in large numbers on June 9, and now it’s estimated that a million locusts are around the new runway on the reclaimed island.

On Wednesday the airport workers sprayed chemicals as part of an extermination effort and mowed the grass where the locusts live.

Some wonder if the large number of insects is a sign that the airport will be buzzing with business once the second runway opens lol.

Pepsi is planning to release a cucumber-flavoured soda in Japan this summer.

I wonder how it would taste like… a bubbling vegetable juice or Pepsi soda with cucumber flavour? Doubt that I would fancy it either way.
