<br />
Definitely one of the best songs of 2013! However, the music video is quite puzzling no? There is a dark story behind the music video. One that is associated with demons.
</br>
According to Ian Pons Jewell,the music video, which hints at The Wizard of Oz, is about an "aural" Bolivian legend dating to the early 20th century, which concerns a deaf boy who fled from his abusive home and found a stray dog that accompanied him since then.<br />
<br />
After living on the streets for an undefined amount of time he discovers that he has special talent of perceiving people's troubles, which he can heal by screaming, which is said to be as loud as an earthquake and a tornado. One day, he finds an old man who is being stoned by villagers while being taunted and ridiculed. By screaming, the boy resolves the situation and revives the old man's heart (in the video, by buying him a new heart).<br />
<br />
Together, they meet a disfigured man who was abused, considered a leper by society.
The disfigured man reveals that he is a prophet who was cursed by a demon (El Tio) because he didn't worship him anymore, and abandoned the society where the demon resided. El Tio is considered as the lord of the underworld, to whom mortal people offer gifts in exchange for protection, or to ease his anger. The prophet said anybody who could hear the demon would fall under his control. He told them the demon could be found in desert, where there once was a town in which people worshipped the demon and he cursed them to kill themselves.<br />
<br />
Together they go to the place where the demon should reside. They arrive at a mine where the demon is supposed to be, but everybody with their hearing intact could be cursed by the demon, thus the boy had to face the demon alone and out-voice him with his scream to stop him from cursing others.
The video ends with an open end, considering that El Tio is the lord of the underworld who rules in the mines, which were of use for people for a prolonged period of time, whom miners sacrifice a llama from time to time to avoid from being cursed, the boy could be seen as a big sacrifice to redeem the miners from El Tio's undesirable influence.

<br />
Well, here is a small 360 tour at a few spots around the Flower Dome.<br />
<br />
This was near the desert ecosystem with cacti patches and desert shrubs.

<br />
Note that the Observation deck is open to the public but the swimming pools are reserved for guests only. The infinity pool stretches across the top of the deck and feels like an oasis in the air.<br />

<br />
For <a href="http://clconquers.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">BB</a> and I, we checked into Tower 3 for our <a href="http://kokd.blogspot.com/2014/02/happy-10th-anniversary-surprise.html" target="_blank">10th Anniversary!</a><br />
<br />
For those who are curious, here is a virtual tour of the Deluxe room!<br />

For the price, their level of customer delight is simply on par. Also, their cleanliness was also not up to the expectations the have set.<br />
<br />

1. Note the cracked cup that I got in my room.<br />
<br />
2. The teabag string was also too short that it always fell in upon pouring water.<br />
<br />
3. The glass on their shower was not clean, had a hint of lime scale.<br />
<br />
4. For goodness sake, please temperature control the pool! A suggestion is to get a heat exchanger and recycle heat from air conditioning!<br />
<br />
Sorry I have OCD and first world problems, but that is the reason why I would pay a more for something better than the competition. Customers don't pay a premium for just good. They are most likely expecting the immaculate for their special day.<br />

<br />
<br />
Of all the hotels I have checked in, I had the highest expectations for this one, but I was sadly disappointed. There were hundreds of other hotels on the island but I chose this for my 10th Anniversary hoping that they would take the initiative to delight a customer.<br />
<br />
Well, do not keep your hopes up. It was the best time to test what world class meant. Answer: Not much.<br />
<br />
5. I wrote to their customer service and asked them if they had anything special to offer for <a href="http://kokd.blogspot.com/2014/02/most-romantic-things-to-do-in-singapore.html" target="_blank">my 10th Anniversary</a>. All I got was a price list. No more initiative after that. Zero.<br />
<br />
Let me share with you a business that took customer delight seriously that Marina Bay Sands can pay heed to. Here is a business that went the extra mile.<br />

<br />
Thanks Patricia from the Jewel Box for going the extra mile!<br />
<br />
Out of the Harbourfront MRT, we cut though a mall and VivoCity, into the offices where ExxonMobil Singapore was situated.<br />
<br />
"Why so dodgy one?" Yes it did look very dodgy the small dark paths that led to our next stop.<br />
<br />
We arrived at a counter and it read - Sentosa Cable Car. We were going to dinner in a cable car. More precisely, we were going to have fine dining in a cable car!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This was a dining experience like no other and its boasted as the only one of the world! We took the elevator 12 stories up into the office towers and made our way to the Jewel Box at Mount Faber.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We were served with a welcome drink as we waited for the next cable car restaurant to pass by.<br />
<br />

<br />
In a matter of minutes, the 3 course meal was placed into the cable car (no idea how the hell they pull that off but two thumbs up) and we were cozily seated.<br />

Only the two of us, with a fine dining meal, in a cable car, hanging some 15 stories in the air. The dinner consists of 3 round trips, from Mount Faber to Vivocity to Sentosa, each round lasting 30 minutes. They would start with appetizer and after 30 minutes your car would come back to Mount Faber for the main, and another round for dessert.<br />

<br />
What I would applaud is the way the delight their customers. I know my BB is most happy when the experience can bring her to tears.We had our dessert at the Jewel Box Restaurant forgoing another 30 minutes on the cable car. Remember to come early around 6.30pm otherwise there are limited rounds till 8.30pm.<br />
<br />
Also, here's how the place looks in a virtual tour:

<br />
During my booking, I noted that it was my <a href="http://kokd.blogspot.com/2014/02/most-romantic-things-to-do-in-singapore.html" target="_blank">10th Anniversary</a>, and I did not expect anything else. However, when we got to our dessert, this was what we got! We go a personalized dessert from the kitchen! It did not really cost them a thing but it really made a huge difference that night!<br />

After a search for Chilli Crab and shopping on Orchard road, getting back to the airport took longer than expected. After some Olympic sprinting and Amazing race across Singapore, we reached the check-in counters on the dot, exhausted and tired.<br />
<br />
The Jetstar check-in staff was kind enough to ensure that we did not miss our flight, and processed our documents immediately.<br />
<br />
That could have been a disaster for <a href="http://kokd.blogspot.com/2014/02/happy-10th-anniversary-surprise.html" target="_blank">our 10th Anniversary</a> was averted as we boarded the plane with no time left to spare!<br />
<br />
We had a few more minutes to spare and some time for the loo, sufficient for me to grab a quick shot of the place.
Here's a virtual tour of Singapore Airport's Terminal 1!

So, after we laughed our assess off from the silliest way to spoil a 10th Anniversary Surprise, the trip had just begun. Packing our bags just the night before, we were off to Singapore on a Friday morning till Sunday evening. If you are anywhere in South East Asia, or even in Singapore, why not try a few of these someday?<br />

What is more romantic than flying 50,000 feet in the sky on your anniversary day! Even for 45 minutes.<br />
<br />
So far, the most value for money airlines I could find was Jetstar, which gave cheaper rates than Fireflyz, Airasia, MAS and Tiger Airways if you are flying from Malaysia.<br />
<br />
Second time flying with Jetstar and I have to say a big thank you to the Jetstar team!<br />

A walk in the garden at mid-day? Are you nuts? This is the equator with 35 celcius and direct sunlight! How romantic is that? Well, when you are at Gardens By The Bay, weather doesn't matter. Stop by Bayfront MRT station for this attraction.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The two uneven bra-like like buildings are actually artistically crafted greenhouses, which are air conditioned to a cosy 24 degrees Celsius. Lucky for us, the clouds were also plentiful and the weather was actually just right for a walk in the park.<br />
<br />

<br />
If you are short of time and have an hour or so to spare, pick the Flower Dome. It is the same price as the Rainforest but its much bigger and holds more things to see. For an anniversary trip, it also made sense to see the beautiful flowers. People take their wedding photos here due to the landscape and the ambience.<br />

The actual Gardens by the Bay itself is a large maze of nature and lakes with the most purple cow piece of art, the floating OCBC Skyway trees and bridges which takes you up to canopy level to give you a 180 degree view of the Marina Bay area. This is literary the hanging gardens as gardeners use platforms to water plants stacked vertically into the sky.<br />

Here's a <a href="http://kokd.blogspot.com/2014/02/gardens-by-bay-and-ocbc-skyway-virtual.html" target="_blank">free tour for you to explore!</a><br />
<br />
At night, the trees light up in a spectacular sea of lights, illuminating the bridges and the domes and is a pretty sight from atop the Marina Bay Sands.<br />
<br />
<b>4pm. Check-in at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel</b><br />
<br />
We left our luggages at the reception here earlier which was close to the Bayfront MRT station. Expect top notch service at this hotel, where the bell boys use WhatsApp to manage traffic, and German (I think) violinists entertain diners all day. The iconic Marina Bay Sands Hotel makes an "M" seen from afar and lies isolated from the city's tall buildings. Plus it has that one of a kind floating deck on its 57th floor.<br />
<br />

<br />
We checked in a Duluxe Suite overviewing the Gardens by the Bay. The first thing I noticed was that the curtains open automatically when you open the doors. Frigging kewl! Like Hilton in London, the bar automatically records what ever stuff taken out. Also, there was a private balcony giving you a full view of the gardens.<br />

<br />
But <a href="http://kokd.blogspot.com/2014/02/marina-bay-sands-disappointed.html" target="_blank">here's a complaint to MBS for not meeting my expectations.</a><br />
<br />
<b>6.30pm. Sunset and Dinner, In the Sky</b><br />
<br />
"We are going to be late" I looked at BB putting on make up and curling her hair. I didn't want to rush her on our 10th Anniversary but it was going to be a once in a lifetime experience that we were going to be late for.<br />
<br />
"Where are we going now?" BB hastily got ready. "It's your next surprise!". We waded though the MRT and as usual, rushed to our next destination.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Out of the Harbourfront MRT, we cut though a mall and VivoCity, into the offices where ExxonMobil Singapore was situated.<br />
<br />
"Why so dodgy one?" Yes it did look very dodgy the small dark paths that led to our next stop.<br />
<br />
This led to the <a href="http://kokd.blogspot.com/2014/02/sky-dining-at-mount-faber-sentosa-cable.html" target="_blank">biggest surprise of the night! Definitely a must try experience.</a><br />

<b>9pm. Infinity Pool at Marina Bay Sands</b></div>
<br />
After dinner, the great time doesn't end there! We have the Singapore skyline to see! What better way to do this than 57 stories in the air atop the Marina Bay Sand's Infinity Pool. The view was breathtaking of sparkling city lights. Its like an oasis in the sky.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Atop the deck, there were 3 adult pools connected, there were bars, restaurants, a club, baby pools and the jacuzzis. Remarkably, more than half the people there were Koreans and Japanese girls! How can you tell. Revealing bikini - Koreans. Swimsuit - Japanese. The other half of the people there are the western men trying to get lucky with these oriental girls. Lol. I exaggerate.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now it was time to get into the water! The winds were exceeding highway speeds there and naturally, the water was chilly. After a few minutes of warming up, the view from the pool was simply breathtaking! Where else can you enjoy city lights at the edge of the pool chillaxing in the water?<br />

You don't really need a reason to surprise someone but if you want to surprise your girlfriend/wife/ex-wife/lover/spouse and you are around South East Asia, I'll recap what we did for<br />
<br />

----------------------------------------<br />
<br />
"BB, where are we going?" <a href="http://clconquers.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">BB</a> asked.<br />
<br />
"It's a surprise. Not telling you until our anniversary!" I replied.<br />
<br />
It has been 12 years since we first met and January 24th 2014 marked our 10th anniversary together.
Thank you <a href="http://clcconquers.blogspot.com/">BB</a> for your love after all these years.<br />
<br />
Such a special occasion deserves a celebration. As you would have guessed, cakes, flowers, cards, photos, videos, countdowns etc has all be checked
off my list the past 10 years...<br />
<br />
Now what? In our hectic working schedules, we needed somewhere to getaway for a few days that is not too far and a place which would be really
memorable. Well, after some research, I decided to give BB a well deserved surprise!<br />
<br />
"What should I pack for our surprise? Is it Thailand? Philippines? Australia?" BB kept asking but I wasn't spilling.<br />
<br />
Planning bit by bit, 3 months ahead, the plan was flawless. I did all my homework, made all the bookings. Unlike earlier surprises, I kept a close
lid on where we were going. BB keeps finding out my surprise one way or another, but this time, I won't let that happen.<br />
<br />
Five days before the surprise, a bag of chocolates unopened was lying on my table.<br />
<br />
"Where are we going?" BB asked again.<br />
<br />
I smiled and told her "Few
more days I'll let you know".<br />
<br />
Then, with my OCD, I began tidying the room, and arranging stuff. BB continued surfing the net. Looking at the
chocolates and knowing I could not finish it, I muttered,<br />
<br />
"Should we pack the chocolates in the bag and eat them in SINGAPORE?"<br />
<br />
I was expressionless, but BB's expression changed... She started laughing her head off. I was still clueless... until I realised I just told her
where we are going! We spent the next few hours laughing about it... and we never did finish the chocolates.<br />
<br />

<br />
But the surprises just got started, and BB even cried tears of joy.<br />

Its 3am. You are fast asleep. You hear a buzzing sound from left to right. It stops. Then you suddenly feel a sting on your body. You wake up and turn on the lights. To you horror, mosquitoes are queuing up on your bedside, some already fat lil balloons of your blood. You can't take it anymore... -.-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tadaa!! Seriously the best investment for the year. The last thing you want to do is get down with dengue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At RM170, its a lil steep but definitely worth it in this weather and mosquito invasion.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji-yNqgKjBg1rIEp3pSY4A89KfkZyTjkaUhy06k-Il3g-jG5tPAMqBIYVonIDCGh6naP3_DIwzBepdOh4OISp4aaELeoydgXyTl4knmuMkagwAy69tOC7G09EixZblfujxaGLzlVzUeY8/s1600/IMG_8604.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji-yNqgKjBg1rIEp3pSY4A89KfkZyTjkaUhy06k-Il3g-jG5tPAMqBIYVonIDCGh6naP3_DIwzBepdOh4OISp4aaELeoydgXyTl4knmuMkagwAy69tOC7G09EixZblfujxaGLzlVzUeY8/s320/IMG_8604.JPG" height="400" width="265" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Quite straight forward, its a fan with a UV light on top. You can get it from Ace Hardware in Malaysia. Personally I prefer the ones with high voltage electricity, which make as snap when a mosquito touches the electrified metal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
None of that here though. Its a rotating fan and mosquitoes just get sucked into a funnel below. They don't die instantly though.</div>

The best time to use this contraption is at night when its dark. Note that mosquitos are most active at dawn and at dusk. Contrary to popular belief, here are some tips on how to use them and get the best results. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is how I got a hundred mosquitoes in a week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Go to the gym or do some exercise that makes you sweat loads.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Set the machine in the middle of a room, at 1m above the ground for better results.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Take your sweaty shirt, put it next to the machine - spray some water for more effect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Plug everything in and turn on the machine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Turn off the lights. Works better in complete darkness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. Sleep carefree for the night</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. Wake to mosquitoes in the trap!</div>

Due to its remoteness, the markedly less people compared to the more popular Broga Hill. The drive itself will take you to a very small road ( that does not even look like a road at all ) deep towards the foot of the mountain. The GPS coordinates are : 2.543015,102.168705.<br />
<br />
Despite its remoteness, there were quite a few people there.
Do be prepared for the seasonal bus loads of students from around the area. These batches of students may create a bottle neck at the summit where only one ladder make up the entry and exit of the summit.
The entire journey up will take 2-3 hours depending on your speed. At the summit, you might want to hang around for an hour or two and the journey back is another 2-3 hours.<br />
<br />
We ascended at 9am. The climb is a two hour journey starting with a very steep decent for about 1 hour. It gets gradually easier or the next hour while the last 30 minutes is steep again. Reaching up the summit, a couple of huge boulders will greet you and a few tiny ladders will allow visitors to trickle up and down the rocks.
As you will be reaching mid day, you might consider bringing some sun protection - the sun is really hot up there. Bring 1 litre of water per person as it does get really dehydrating in the sun. Luckily we brought umbrellas to the top which proved useful. A picnic there would be great as well and the view is just breathtaking

<br />
Getting down is a challenge and will strain your knees. A knee guard or strap can help cushion the impact. On the way down, we got a little lost but managed to find our way back down in the end. The best thing down there was a small shop selling ice cold drinks in the hot weather.
Special thanks to <a href="http://clconquers.blogspot.com/">BB</a>, Wai Kit, Sook Wan, Xing Xian, Melissa and two more companions who made the journey up!

<br />
Creating a mobile app is easier than I thought thanks to the latest technologies at your disposal.<br />
Web developers can now translate their skills into mobile apps.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://phonegap.com/" target="_blank">PhoneGap</a> allows developers to build apps in HTML, Javascript and CSS deployable on most platforms including Android, iOS, Windows and Blackberry. Use this tutorial if you are using Window and want to build for Android.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 1 - Download Eclipse + Android SDK</b><br />
<br />
Eclipse is a free development environment and the Android SDK contains all the files necessary to code for Android. Google provides this with its ADT - Android Developer Tools<br />
<br />
<a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html" target="_blank">Download Android ADT</a><br />
<br />
Follow the below steps to setup:<br />
<br />
1. Unpack the ZIP file<os_platform> and save it to desktop</os_platform><br />
<br />
2. Open the<i> adt-bundle-</i><os_platform><i>/eclipse/</i> directory and launch <i>eclipse.exe</i></os_platform><br />
<br />
It will ask you where to set up your workspace. Default is <i>C://username/workspace</i><br />
That’s it! The IDE is already loaded with the Android Developer Tools plugin and the SDK is ready to go.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<b>Step 2 - Download and Install Phonegap</b><br />
<br />
Phonegap is a set of files that you include into your Android app to translate from HTML to different mobile app formats<br />
<br />
<a href="http://phonegap.com/install/" target="_blank">Download Phonegap</a><br />
<br />
Unpack and we will use it later.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 3 - Creating a project in Eclipse</b><br />
<br />
Now lets start creating our project. Launch Eclipse.<br />
<br />
3.1. Select <i>File > New > Android Application Project</i><br />

<br />
<br />
Open <i>AndroidManifest.xml</i><br />
<br />
Add the below under the <i><manifest></i> node for it to support different sized screens<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><supports-screens android:largescreens="true" i=""></supports-screens></i><br />

<br />
Add the below under the <i><manifest></i> node for it to support get permission to access device features<br />
<br />
<i><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" /></i><br />
<i> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" /></i><br />

<b>Step 7 - Run the application!</b><br />
<br />
7.1. Now we are two steps away from the final product.<br />
Right click on your root folder in this case <i>MyApp>Run As>1. Android Application</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
7.2. You will be prompted to run it on a device. To launch a new device, click on the Android Virtual Device Manager to launch your own virtual device.<br />
<br />
Click <i>New</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When its created, find the start button to launch the emulator - a virtual device which to test your Android App.<br />
<br />
It takes a while for the emulator to startup.<br />
<br />
Or you can start it directly from the<i> Run > Run Configurations > Targets</i><br />
<br />
<br />

Well, for those who live around KL, you would know that the streets and roads are full of ***holes. Just want to share an experience that might just save your life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, <a href="http://clconquers.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">BB</a> parked her car at Kelana Jaya one morning and there was nothing special about the day. Until we returned together later that evening. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieNjTHVUi75bRkNpwgWK025ceNPCzXnF3RzmKV-WPl5ik4FF8-pfLfZ5xI31pvWhOcElT18UQxYYtfprdHLuvrcvSQch95zQCVch5G1I77AgNUQroW5P3ZrjYejqbN3SKr_doFDACojAc/s1600/run-flat-tire.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieNjTHVUi75bRkNpwgWK025ceNPCzXnF3RzmKV-WPl5ik4FF8-pfLfZ5xI31pvWhOcElT18UQxYYtfprdHLuvrcvSQch95zQCVch5G1I77AgNUQroW5P3ZrjYejqbN3SKr_doFDACojAc/s320/run-flat-tire.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lo and behold, a flat tyre. The weird thing was, another car had a flat tyre as well and the couple was in the midst of changing the tyre. Unknowingly, I drove off, only to stop at a petrol station.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB2Dg61A1iKmEebf7EvM9uj58q_nkRBWt_acFN5iR900b6AYIjJCs6McbYXXkoqTZ4CWCqUWLU_NwguIqH4qas4tkRhI-095qD9EX8bqgiFScJ7w7YJ1FqhwxrK4STSB-Mbz8S34bqXuE/s1600/20130616_173750.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB2Dg61A1iKmEebf7EvM9uj58q_nkRBWt_acFN5iR900b6AYIjJCs6McbYXXkoqTZ4CWCqUWLU_NwguIqH4qas4tkRhI-095qD9EX8bqgiFScJ7w7YJ1FqhwxrK4STSB-Mbz8S34bqXuE/s320/20130616_173750.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At the station, I got some help to pump the flat tyre up and when I capped the valve, air started gushing out. Something weird was going on. Here is what the SOB did:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipO3MoHYadNSKN8lm_Hut2yVincCCDArVlRDsvRHxRFHApsVwRjIhyphenhyphenjLIfklqQZLmOHhPbTec900BzXF2zduiL9gZVJSmS2w38AKte9pPXmqTS6hOSpNmH2SFFkatU1Phg3P8zD1FBx04/s1600/20130616_173726.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipO3MoHYadNSKN8lm_Hut2yVincCCDArVlRDsvRHxRFHApsVwRjIhyphenhyphenjLIfklqQZLmOHhPbTec900BzXF2zduiL9gZVJSmS2w38AKte9pPXmqTS6hOSpNmH2SFFkatU1Phg3P8zD1FBx04/s320/20130616_173726.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Inside the cap was a small stone (Much smaller than this demo one). Placing the stone inside the cap raises the end a little bit. When you screw on the cap to the valve, the stone presses on the valve and air starts coming out. Here is the stone dislodged from the cap.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10DodmXBcLK5BgtirhZdgINFT0PQhyJwvSPOgcYop9XDqG-nBhP-Qem7iBmD0aBssOYuSqbirgyGAgc4qAeNRHahFKk_NSldvyZXq1njbS9EeszlzARJE93QncfWKeRdVcG4381C2Zt8/s1600/20130616_173713.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10DodmXBcLK5BgtirhZdgINFT0PQhyJwvSPOgcYop9XDqG-nBhP-Qem7iBmD0aBssOYuSqbirgyGAgc4qAeNRHahFKk_NSldvyZXq1njbS9EeszlzARJE93QncfWKeRdVcG4381C2Zt8/s320/20130616_173713.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Small trick, big danger. So do beware of this. Who knew what would happen to us if. These people might be watching and probably will take advantage. Worse if you are a girl alone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To my friends reading this, beware of this and hope this does not happen to you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To the person who did this to my car. ..|.. and hope you get knocked down by a car.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Anyway, one of the more value for money places to stay in Kyoto was Hotel Oaks. With Free Wi-Fi in the lobby. With one more day in Kyoto, we had to make the most of it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our first order of the day was food!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Across the hotel was a small shop called Nishinotoin.</div>

It was a small cafe opposite the road and a typical place which was not crowded in the morning<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We ordered a couple of items on the menu to sample the various types of dishes on the menu. Something light to keep us going through the day.<br />

Typical of each shrine of temple is pool of water and a ladle. What you have to do is use the ladle to clean your hands,
and with your hands, drink the water. This is symbolic to cleanse the hands and mouths of visitors
to the temple or shrine<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Ooops! Slept in late again so we rushed to Osaka Castle (actually a museum built to loook like a castle).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Next, we had snacks at Kuromon market for an hour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Next stop, Osaka Aquarium, typical but worth the visit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Finally, enjoy the cityscape at another highest point in Osaka, Uemeda Sky Building.</div>
