Many Chinese people are very superstitious, particularly among the elderly and I would include myself in that. If you read the blog post that I wrote earlier this year on the meaning of 15 days of Lunar New Year, you will recall that some Chinese (Taoism and Buddhism) would pray to the God of Wealth for blessing. For this blessing money in Chinese, we called it 偏财 (Piān cái). It is an expected income or floating assets such as bonuses, lottery winnings, stock benefits, etc.
Japan is a fascinating place, packed full of traditions dating back thousands of years and with their multifaceted cultural, it has never failed to fascinate me. Even though I have been there five times with my family and friends, each time it still intrigues me and makes me want to learn more about their culture. So I am delighted to have received this book to read along with my children.
After 22 years since its first launch, Nokia has again surprised us with this retro classic 8110 “banana phone” rebooted into a feature phone with 4G. This is not the exact replica of this classic phone, but it certainly feels like one.
Since an early age, I have always been in favour of sliding phones as I think they look smart and stylish. Just imagine by only using one hand to slide, you are always ready to answer or make a call in style. This is why I am so thrilled to get this Nokia 8110 4G black from AO for review. The other option was to have the striking yellow banana phone which is a definite ‘no’ from me! I do not want to draw unnecessary attention to myself from passers-by!
