Tasmania Trip
The Tasmania trip failed, only 5 out of the 46 people that signed up went. However, they seem to enjoy the trip.
Especially these 3 guys.

冤家牌
I played Texas Hold em with Lisa yesterday, I lost, Lisa 5: Me 4. She kept asking me 欠扁問答題 as the game progresses. Then told me stories happened at her workplace, also kept topping up my red wine. But I don't account those for my defeat.
Because the hand was
Me: 3, 4
Lisa: J, K
Flop: 2, 5, 10
Turn: A
I got a straight (A2345) here, but I checked to act cute in order to bait her, she also checked and can see next card for free
River: Q
She got a stronger straight (10JQKA) here, and I freaking went all in, she called
I cried

Japan 08 - Day 3 - Shinjuku
Wonda Coffee
I sampled Wonda coffee because the drink vending machines were everywhere ("left side, right side, many whelps"). We saw the ads at the subway station and took this pic. It looks really good and I reckon Asahi should pay me for promoting their drinks.
Ekiben & Jack
Bullet train from Osaka to Tokyo, we bought some ekiben. Marwan told me his fave TV show is Lost, and I got 2x Jack from the blind boxes, so I decided to give him one of the Kubrick as he is doing my alchemy transmute while I am travelling. Cost $5, cheaper than the bento.
Hyatt
We stayed at Hyatt for a day. It was a nice stay because it was free! What happened was, Hyatt was doing a "stay 2 nights, get 1 night for free, anywhere" promotion earlier while Lisa was on assignment at Brisbane. So IBM paid for the "stay 2 nights", we used the "free night" at Hyatt Shinjuku. Sometimes, SAP consultants make me jealous.
Izakaya Snack Bar
Izakaya (居酒屋) is a popular kind of snack bar in Japan, salary man and office lady like to hang out there after work. The one we went to was very small, only about 1/3 the size of a normal shop, but it was highly recommended by our friend.
Now, how many snack can you name in Japanese? The answer for me was "none". That's why when the shopkeeper asked us "what you want?", our answer was "random 5". The snacks were so good, so we ordered another "random 5" when the 3rd snack was served. The shopkeeper asked "you eat intenstine?", hell yeah! The salted pig liver was a highlight (see animated gif below).
If you looked at the slide-show very carefully, you may wonder, how come only 6 out of "random 10"? The answer is, "too delicious la, forgot to take pic".
The middle-aged bald man that was sitting next to me ordered a sake (or shoju, I cannot really tell). The shop-keeper poured this mysterious liquid into his sake, and the sake turned pink. OMGWTF! (it turns out to be a bottle of plum syrup). Note: you can see his shiny bald head in the 2nd pic of this section, pay extra attention to the light reflection.
The middle-aged man sitting next to Lisa ordered a soup. This is the soup from the pot in front of the shop they use to cook food, so the flavour must be very 勁. Our friend also recommended it so we have to try it.
Me: Can I get 1 soup?
Shopkeeper: Just 1? (looking at me curiously)
Me: Yes.
Shopkeeper: It is free.
Me: I want 2.
That's it for Day 3, stay tuned for Day 4.
