Banned in China, but you can still find out about it here! I dare ya’!
Nice Niches: Lingerie makes good business sense
It’s true, fashion isn’t one of my real strengths! But I do have an interest in the business size of this… and I definitely enjoyed the behind-the-scenes style of the movie, The Devil Wears Prada. Of course, choosing the right fashion niche in the online business world is a challenge. But with more and more…
So where were we? Summer Trips #1 – East Coast and Taroko
Well, running your own business is never easy! In fact, it’s often difficult to take time off, and in previous years we always felt ‘guilty’ taking time off because we weren’t making THAT much money that it didn’t worry us. This summer we’ve found a little more time than usual so we are taking a…
Neihu – Taipei: Miramar Shopping Mall

I felt sorry for those people, somehow caught up in the shenanigans of the mortgage lenders and…

Occasionally you will see women wearing thigh high boots or knee length boots with short skirts even when the weather is warm, and it isn’t particulalry rainy. This is despite claims that…
And Idol’s Winner in 2008 is … David Cook
Yesterday I was fretting over who would win… but we’re still watching the replay on Star World TV. Haven’t got to that part. Though I’ve enjoyed quite good performances from ZZTop and Bryan Adams. David Cook is the winner! Let’s not forget Ronaldo’s “I am your brother”! He’s already done ads for AT&T!
