Bought a bootleg Lego Creator recently. It was a modular building set - Detective's Office. Bought this with the intention to see the quality of this China made compared to the original Lego set. I have to say the quality of the bricks is on par with the original Lego and they fit nicely too. The good point is it's relatively cheap. For this same set from Lego, it costs about RM640.00. This China brand is just around RM180.00. I think the kids will need longer time to complete the set this time. Over 2200 pieces of bricks! And after a week, we only managed to build partial ground floor.
I haven't finished recounting my journey in Sweden and Japan; I returned from Taiwan just two weeks ago. Here's a brief account of my recent visit there (although I still have unfinished tale from last year trip to Taiwan). My first stop was Kaoshiung. Spent a day and a half in the town, then I travelled to Tainan for a weekend symposium. I ended my journey in Taipei for another short hike. The weather in Kaohsiung was quite hot, comparatively. It's not my favorite weather for traveling. Perhaps I arrived there too early; had I come a few days later, the temperature would have been cooler. Since day time was hot, it would be wise to visit Pier 2 area during evening or night. Not many people / tourists in this town. It looked quiet. The next day, I took a ferry to Cijin. The ride was short, about 5 minutes. Cijin Island is a fisherman's village. On the opposite side of the island, there's a beach. It was serene but scorching, to the extent that I couldn't walk m
