This VITA milk tea commecial, which made no sense to people who are not extremely familiar with Cantonese or Hong Kong culture, presented Hong Kong in an exaggratedly vivid way.
Really? Maybe now your head is full of doubt.

Within this 30 seconds, there are at least EIGHT scenes that related to traditional Cantonese idioms.
For instance:
「煲夠啦」It refers to having a long telephone conversation with friends.
「睇水」It is the idiom that would be used when people are doing bad things together and one of those people is responsible for watch out and makes sure others are not going to be caught. In this commercial, this kind of behavior is translated into facial meaning that someone is literally looking at the water.
「出貓」It means students cheating in exams. The cat represents small notes that students prepared for the examination. When the cat is out, the student is taking the notes out.
「牛肉乾」Policeman leaves a ticket on the window of illegal parking cars without a driver inside. Because the ticket is red and quadrate, people always call the ticket beef jerky.

The most significant feature of Hong Kong commericial is biliterate and trilingual. This commercial has fully demonstrated the charm and characteristic of Cantonese.

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
