goole, Monday, 5 April 2010 15:58 (fourteen years ago) link

crut I saw that one on display today in a shop window. it's a fancy shop though so it'd probably be around $25-35 :(

one of the local chains has been 'inspired' by factory records so they have shirts that say like "YOUR SILENT FACE" and stuff on em (one of them has the lyrics to atmosphere superimposed on the unknown pleasures cover. looks pretty lame)

Need further info. Mrs Trifle works in HK occasionally and she could definitely pick out some of these for me (she always says she can never find me anything)

Ned Trifle II, Sunday, 11 April 2010 22:51 (fourteen years ago) link

tell her to go to "i.t." (not "I.T.") and look for a brand called "Underground" (or alternatively, "Ready Steady Underground")

SIMLE FACE

Fetchboy, Friday, 30 April 2010 11:47 (fourteen years ago) link

tung choi street dyao. they're all there!

Ah, the Ladies Market! Mrs T is always going on about this. I cannot believe she hasn't brought me back one(or seven) of these.

Ned Trifle II, Friday, 30 April 2010 15:39 (fourteen years ago) link

Interesting (kind of) aside - if you 'walk' down Tung Choi street on streetview the market is being put up and then as it crosses Nelson Street it's all up. OK not very interesting but I liked it.

Ned Trifle II, Friday, 30 April 2010 15:52 (fourteen years ago) link

that's because a large portion of tung choi street is not accessible by cars

going non-native (dyao), Friday, 30 April 2010 15:53 (fourteen years ago) link

Yeah, I assumed that that's why they went down it before the market went up. Of course they could have used the google trike.

As another aside - the adverts for schools in HK are quite cool too.

Grade A - Easy way

Ned Trifle II, Friday, 30 April 2010 16:08 (fourteen years ago) link

hahah those are 'tutor kings' - you can get your face plastered on a billboard and the sides of buses just by being a really shitty tutor @ something. hong kong education is insane and sad.

going non-native (dyao), Friday, 30 April 2010 16:09 (fourteen years ago) link

those guys are all "if you want to pass the A-level just follow my five patented foolproof easy steps" and then charge you $5000 and then you fail the A-level anyway

going non-native (dyao), Friday, 30 April 2010 16:10 (fourteen years ago) link

put the snake into your house is an awesomely handy euphemism

鬼の手 (Edward III), Friday, 30 April 2010 16:11 (fourteen years ago) link

e.g. "those tutor kings just want to put the snake into your house"

i like how the first one apologizes

harbl, Tuesday, 1 June 2010 15:46 (fourteen years ago) link

if you change the 'my' to 'its' in the first one I actually think it is pretty otm

pokám0n (dyao), Tuesday, 1 June 2010 15:47 (fourteen years ago) link

second one is a good quotation I think?
