Training for the MacLehose in 2009

I learned from my November trip last year about this MacLehose extreme hike, I told myself that I had wanted to do it this year, but I'm definitely not in shape to do so (just look at my flab from the pic). However, I have found a group of hikers that are training to do it for next year!!!!
They actually started a week ago, but I was able to join their second hike this past weekend, and it turned out to be a wonderful workout!

The MacLehose hike/run is an amazing event!!!

Total Distance: 100KM and with 48 hours to finish it.
Entrance: Each team must consist of 4 people, and must pass through each checkpoint and finish line together.

Our goal is to complete this 100KM monster in 24 hours!!!

What can't I get in Hong Kong?

Haa, so over the last week or so I've been wondering what are the things that I cannot get in Hong Kong. Since my company will pay for the shipment of my belongings, I can technically bring whatever I want, right? Well, then there's that restriction of how much stuff I can bring. So to make things simple, I figure I go with the things that I use on a normal basis that I'm accustomed to, which would be mainly toiletries items such as:
Sensitive toothpaste
Reach Flosshead refills
Facial Wash
Facial Lotion

LOL, that's all that I can come up with?? Well, I'm sure I'll come up with more items in the next few weeks, which I just might make a Costco run for...
