Cruising around Indochina and I spy.........

.......Angkor Wat. wow, what a sight. One of my dream is to visit this historical ruins and finally the opportunity came in Y2004. As history goes, the stones were actually from Nepal. Cut and drifted down the Mekong River. Every single piece. I think the story is as fascinating as the Great Wall of China(stay tune on this piece)

Diving into the undersea world

The Dragon decided to take a look at the undersea world and found this. The world underwater looks pretty cool and looks like diving is a pretty interesting hobby.

Have you ever wondered......??

How does a garment and apparel factory looks like?? The ones that manufacture the clothings that cover you up. The Nikes, Addidas, GAPs, MNGs, PUMAs, etc, etc.......As the fashion world rotates, the manufacturing of apparel and garments are still very labor intensive. Some factories have as many as 5000 workers.



One thing for sure.....the sounds of the sewing machine is deafening. Oh no, wait......you should go into the ironing room. Better take off your clothes. Its like a sauna in there. Even the aircond doesn't really help. 2000 industrial steam irons hissssssing at the same time......its one place not for me.

Fiery Dragon Fashion

Lets fly to a Fiery Fashion Show in Hong Kong. Flair is all in the mind which oozes outwardly into the fashion which we put on.....some like it hot, hot, hot...... others like it otherwise.
Whatever the flair you wished to don on, its a matter of choice.

Visit to Uncle Sam's land

When the Sleeping Dragon left US and Canada in 1987, there was no indication whatsoever that Sleeping Dragon will ever return to visit Uncle Sam again. Then the opportunity came in January 2007, when Sleeping Dragon was called for a Tour of Duty to fly to the Land of 51 States and the Rocky.

Wow, after 20 years, it was like a homecoming. ....all my bags are packed, I am ready to go, the journey was too far for the Dragon to fly on its own, so he boarded Eva Air for his first stop in San Francisco.

SF has changed so much but some things never change. A trip to SF is not complete without going for a ride on the world famous tramcar.

















and also a visit to Pier 39.




and paying a visit to the residents of Pier 39.

As the journey continues......to Vietnam















As the journey continues......this time to Vietnam. The food, people, building, everything is similar to the land of the forefathers.

First, the cultural show.......

the music was soothing and nice. Oh, btw, the show took place by the poolside.......which you will be able to see in the ensuing photos.

Now for the beauties.....

Sailing back to the origin


As the Dragon flies back to the land of its forefathers, China, he began to discover many things; some are interesting sights to behold, others are a beauty to its eyes. Sleeping Dragon began to discover that there are many tiring feet in this vast land and anywhere to shut eyes is welcome.

Not only tiring feet but hungry stomach. Anywhere and anything to cook a meal is welcome as the people needs to draw strength to find a living.















As he continue to sail thru this land, he also discover other interesting objects.



The Dragon couldn't believe his eyes and started to wonder what has this land of his forefathers has become. Dtermined, he continue his journey to find what he believes in, that people of the unique sex have unique outfit that pleases the eyes.

And lo and behold , he sailed into a fashion gala and saw things that pleases the eyes.




















My, my...now this is what I know of this land.

As nite falls, Sleeping Dragon will now have to find a place to shut eyes and go to zzzzzzzz............

Introduction
















*cheng cheng cheng*......*drum rolling*........*sailing down from above the clear blue sky*

Here comes the Dragon........bold and mighty......the King of the animals from ancient past.
That's what I was told when I was a kid. Incidentally, I was born in the year of the Dragon, but in the quiet and silent of the nite......thus I called myself the Sleeping Dragon.

Why Sleeping Dragon, you ask?? Coz that my character. I am a very easy going person, yet a leader and great believer in teamwork. Like they say, don't me angry(don't wake up the Dragon); when I am angry, hell breaks loose. Nuts will fall and get crushed. I don't shout nor do I swear. I will just get things going my own way. My staff knows this. When I am angry, they can feel it in the office.

Thats a short course of the ugly side. Now for the good and happy and hilarious side of the Sleeping Dragon. I can dance, swing, laugh, funny, etc. You name it, you got it. Some even say the Dragon is also awesome in bed. He can breath fire and make you hot.....real hot.
hehehe.......don't you wonder?? Life is so full of surprises. Sometimes you know when its coming, sometimes you don't. Its the times that you don't bring surprises and laughter to brighten up your live.

Ok, I think that is enough for a short intro of the Sleeping Dragon.

Stay tune for more of the adventures of the Sleeping Dragon as he sails across the 4 corners of the world to bring you tales, food galore, fashion flair, etc, etc, etc.
