I’m blogging from an airport; I feel like such a seasoned traveler. Actually I’m writing this post just so that I can claim to post on the internet from airports.
I am of course flying back to Manila after a short 3-day visit to Hong Kong. People always ask me where I plan to go while [...]
It’s a bit strange, but somehow Hong Kong is becoming a bit familiar to me by now. This is only my third time here of course, and I’ve spent less than five weeks here in total since 2004. Still I find that certain things like ordering at restaurants and riding the MTR have started to [...]
For two weeks, starting next Tuesday.
Maybe the time away from everyone will be good for me. Work has been a chore lately.

I’ve been asked if I would be willing to be temporarily posted in another country, halfway across the world, for around half a year.
On the surface, it seems like a good idea - I don’t have any definite plans for the next few months, so there’s nothing in the way. It would be new stuff, [...]

I’ve been meaning to write more about my time in Hong Kong.
One of the many new things I experienced there was the food. People who’ve eaten out with me on a regular basis know that I’m quite the picky eater. In general, I dislike eating veggies and seafood (yeah, I’m an unhealthy carnivore). In [...]

Yeah I know, Hong Kong is technically a part of China, but my feet actually did manage to walk some non-Hong Kong Chinese territory. Too many stories accumulated in three weeks to tell in one post though, but to say the least I actually got to experience a bit more of Hong Kong this time, [...]

So much for my nefarious plan to take it easy until I can get a Christmas break.
I leave on the first available flight Thursday, and they plan to keep me there for around three weeks.

Looking Out Over Punta Fuego

This is the photo I decided to put on the front page of http://roytang.net while I wasn’t sure yet what to put there.
We were at Punta Fuego in Batangas last Jan 30-31 for our coincidentally-coinciding-with-the-HK-Chinese-New Year-weekend annual company outing. Those [...]

As I’ve mentioned before, Daet is a small town. When I was there, I was mentally comparing it to the UP Diliman campus. Main reason being, we had a tendency to walk everywhere we went. Just like in UP, everything was literally within “walking distance” - the beach, the church, the cemetary, etc. So in [...]
