Iron Heart IH-634S - World Tour 2010 - 2013

[FOXY]

The building is from 1908 and we are currently remodeling bath and bedroom. The kitchen and hallways are getting some attention too.

For the bathroom: should I have the floor tiles straight or diamond shaped in direction?

[Beatle]

straight..otherwise u think ur drunk with the sidewalls being tiled diamond shape already

[Giles]

But when he is drunk, they'll appear fine…...

[Chris]

I agree with Beatle; floors and walls with angled tiles will be too much.  Good luck with the remodeling.:)

[FOXY]

Initially, we opted for straight, but when I saw it the other way for the first time I started to think - usually, not good.
Giles got a point - the man knows his sh*t!

Let's see what the wife says…

I like things matching so diamond for me. Beats- maybe start a new thread for pike jeans when you get them.

[FOXY]

The wife says straight - so straight it is…
Arrived safely in GZ a few hours ago. Will resume proper posting tomorrow, feel too tired right now.

Then have a good rest, FOXY.

And I totally agree with your wife about the tiles, incidentally. Diamond shaped, with a checker-pattern, against diamond shaped plain on the wall….it would have been too much. Straight is the way to go, at least this once....

Ok - here is the mission for tomorrow:

• get shit done at the Bank of China
• go to HK
• open a bank account in Hong Kong
• pick up repairs (wife Levis and my jacket)
• go to Ultrasoundboots to pick up my MTO Viberg's
• check at Apollo Books for the latest Japanese Magazine

Ultrasoundboots (http://www.ultrasoundboots.com, they have a blog and Facebook page too, but none of these can be accessed from within China…) the local dealer for Hong Kong representing Viberg's, White's, WESCO and Dayton - so, if you guys have any sizing questions comparing between the brands please let me know and I will try to get them answered tomorrow.

[jimmy]

I think it's going to be a good day tomorrow!!

[FOXY]

Ultrasoundboots just confirmed my appointment for tomorrow and sent me 2 pics of my new boots - this is what I get to pic up tomorrow:


Indeed - tomorrow will be interesting!

[barun]

YOU BASTARD!!!!

So, I'm back from HK but lest start in order:
I had a lazy morning and got to the teak station around 10:00
Here I decided to start the day with Chinese McDonald


The whole lunch did cost 2,30€ and the main difference to European McD is that things are hot and spicy here in China.
Different on the menu are also Mango and Taro Pies replacing apple pies. I will try to get you a good picture of a taro pie - it is pink.

Please be aware that the role model for all fast food chains in Asia is not McD or Burger King - it is KFC. They have adopted to the Chinese market and palate the fastest. The fact that their offer is pretty much chicken only did help a little…

[FOXY]

I picked up the pants pretty much where I left them

got dressed

decided to go for light shoes as I might have to carry them home in a bag

the train is riding into HK

first stop was to check for my alterations that I have requested before my Moscow trip


my wife's Levis was ready, my jacket has to wait a few more days…

[madmonday]

the combination of the once a month wash & the constant wear has these jeans in such a nice vintage state.
