There are also several guest houses in the neighborhood complete with Internet cafe and food stalls. Best, it's near MBK Mall as well as walking distance to the MTR station.

On top is the photo of my small room, which I paid for Bht500 a night. It has a private bath and a window. However, the view from the window, believe it or not, is the tight hallway of the guest house, so there's actually no outside view. I stayed two days and two nights at this place right after coming from Phuket and before flying back to Manila.

From Beijing, I went to Hong Kong and extended my China trip for another three days. My girlfriend, Mel, and I tried to saved some money (better spent on shopping) and stayed in a hostel I frequented along Nathan Road in Kowloon. It was her first time to stay in such a place and turned out to be quite an adventure for her. Anyway, the place was clean enough for her taste and the people handling the low-cost guesthouse was very friendly and accomodating. They even have online reservation, making it easier to get a room in advance.
We got a corner room with two windows. The top photo is a shot of Nathan Road with the Holiday Inn in the left side. The other photo is an ongoing construction site where the old Hyatt Hotel used to stand. Yes, it was quite noisy in the morning.

Not much to see around the hotel as well, except that we're located within the Olympic Village where a lot of construction is going on in preparation for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I saw the infamous "Bird's nest" stadium still being built in its final phase. Unfortunately, it was behind the hotel and I couldn't get a good shot from my hotel room.

I almost forgot. This is a view from my hotel room at the Waterfront in Lahug, Cebu City. Note the rainbow in the right side. I attended the ICT Forum in July of 2004 with Globe Telecom as the sponsor for the trip. I can't remember how many times I've been to this city.

Again, a view from my hotel room at the Pan Pacific Hotel from my Oracle presscon trip in Singapore in October 2004.

The trip coincided with the Multimedia Arts Asia Pacific (MAAP) Festival held at the National Institute of Education and the Sound Tunnel at the Esplanade.

Sound tracks from my soundart group called Children of Cathode Ray with video-artist Tad Ermitano, and Autoceremony, my own solo effort on experimental msuic, were part of the multimedia art exhibition. It was the first international exhibition of our work in experimental digital audio synthesis and music deconstruction.

Also, see autoceremony and cavemanifesto links.

Aqua Restaurant, Hong Kong

2006-05-21T15:55:00.000+08:00

No, this not a view from my hotel room in Hong Kong - my girlfriend and I stayed at the Marco Polo at Harbour City with a lousy view.

Nonetheless, the fantastic view of the Hong Kong island skyline can be seen from Aqua, a rather high-end restaurant (good thing we didn't pay for our lunch! Thanks Bien) at the penthouse of One Peking Road located at Tsim Sha Tsui Kowloon side.

The IFC Tower on the right side of the photo is one of the tallest building in the world.

Wonderful view, don't you think so?

This is my third trip to Hong Kong, and I just love this city.

This one is a view from my hotel room in Bangkok, Thailand. The name of the place is First Hotel near Petchburi road. Not bad, because there are a lot of bargain shopping places in the area, not to mention Pantip Plaza- the computer center of Bangkok.

Netopia Philippines invited me for the opening of their first overseas branch located at the MBK Mall in August of 2004.

Bangkok is so exciting that I extended my three-day stay for another two days.

Hyatt Hotel, Taipei

Hmm... I'm not really sure if this was the view from my room at the Hyatt Hotel in Taipei. I lost most of my photos on that trip when my hard drive crashed. Anyway, I was there in April of 2004 for the Intel Deleveloper's Forum. The building in the photo is the shopping mall on the base of Taipei 101- the world's tallest building. The building in the left is part of Taipei 101.
