I first about Swine Flu around March-April 2009. Here in Taipei, I personally have met doctors who still treat swine flu (H1N1) and see it routinely now (it is now 8/6/09). I guess it's also prevalent in Hong Kong which is where I am to travel next. About 1-2 months ago, I wrote a "How to prevent swine flu" website - at least it is about how to decrease transmission of flu bugs. I was hoping that this was a problem that would somehow disappear.
Apparently it's still marching on.

Wood for eyeglasses! (eyeglass frames)
what a great idea!
to have wood be a material used on the sides of eyeglasses. I worry about adjustability or warping from moisture; however, the look is great. I saw some of these today while eyeglass frame shopping for Tammy (Dr. T. Tammy Wu, Plastic surgeon - Modesto Plastic surgeon) - we are still looking she hasn't found her next pair of eyeglass frames yet.
The frames were made by Iyoko Inyake - Belgian Eyewear design
From their website:
"Many years ago, Eye Specials Worldwide acquired the world wide license to design, manufacture en distribute eyewear under the name of Iyoko Inyaké.
Since then, Henricus Dujardin, with 20 years of experience, designed more than 800 models that have been sold all over the world.Together with his team of professionals he always comes up with the most creative frames in the industry. "

I took some pictures of a display that I found in Taipei Taiwan, near the Sogo Area, near the Fuxing MRT subway station. We were told that these were designed in Belgium and manufactured in Japan.

Escalator orderliness in the Subway system Taipei
I noticed that the right side of the escalator is for standing, and the left side if for those in a rush and in need of passing. The rule is followed very very often - almost all the time.
It's refreshing to see such orderliness.
I thought I'd capture it here in a picture taken at the subway station MRT at the crossing of the blue (bannon) and brown lines. You can double click on this escalator picture to see a larger version of it.

My clarisonic - we only brought one
Well, so much for my thinking in advance; we only brought one of these and two brushes. We've been sharing it. It saves space this way. The only problem is that ok.. right now we are both in Taipei, but I have to make a separate trip (subcursive?) to Hong Kong and Macau - I'll be gone and separated from my wife for a week. So that means - we have to fight over the clarisonic. This just hit me.
Clarisonic brush is a mechanized facial cleansing brush - waterproof, fun, efficient, and produces results. I feel lost without it. It's one of my favorite products which we carry in our office. It even showed an increase in my Visia score. I scored very low on the Visia to begin with, so that might not be saying much (I got 2%).
Clarisonic Modesto - this link has a list of our products in our office. Too bad I can't just run across to the globe to get another one.
Anyway... enough blabbing.. I'll figure out how to revert to the old way of washing my face. Can't take the Clarisonic away from the plastic surgeon wife: [T. Tammy Wu, MD]

Bellavita Taipei, Taiwan
Picture of me taken 8/4/09 on our way to Taipei 101 Mall, we passed by a construction project with signs all around it saying "Bellavita - coming soon."
This will be a luxury shopping mall - the idea is to elevate shopping and dining experience in Taipei Taiwan. It contains classic Italian inspired architecture. It's not ready for the public to walk through it, unfortunately. This located in the heart of the Xinyi Shopping District.
