Looking East (or N.East) and all the hi-rises of downtown and Coal Harbour. The two taller buildings are Trump Tower (*spits on ground*) and the Shangri-La Hotel.
A fabulous evening for one last visit to Cloud Nine revolving restaurant at Robson Street's Landmark Hotel before it closes down and gets blasted to smithereens at the end of this month. Such a shame they let the place go to ruin since it really is the best place for 360 views of Vancouver - way moreso than the Harbour Centre Tower AND it's free! It takes about 90mins to do the full rotation. And what are they replacing it with? Two more hi-rise condo towers that no-one can afford. Oh Vancouver!

Just an idea I had today looking at the clouds. Hasn't worked out quite as planned as I realised I didn't know how to do what I originally planned, so you can see where I've had to clone, but quite pleased with it anyway :-)

This is probably the most talk-about hotel interiors of all time. Grand Hyatt's soaring atrium has made all the headlines with rave reviews. It is so majestic and futuristic, that you could not help but to be mesmerized by its beauty. You might get a sore neck after a while..
A decade has passed and this atrium stands majestically against the test of time; and so has the hotel itself. It's a solid choice for both business and leisure traveller. Here's the scores:
1. Location: 85
2. Room: 90
3. Bathroom: 90
4. Quality of Bed: 90
5. In-room Tech: 80
6. Service: 60
7. Dining: N/A
8. Facilities: 95
9. Wellness Facilities: 90
10. Design: 95
11. Value: 90
12. View from Room: 100
OVERALL: 87,73
As much as I love the hotel and enjoyed the stay, it was so unfortunate that the good back bone has to be compromised by lousy service. If you look across the score, Hyatt performs extremely well, except for service. After several stays in the past, this is the persistent problem that is so evident on my every stay at this property. Staffs need to look at how The Park Hyatt and The Pen has raised the bar for impeccable service..
Arriving by Rolls Royce at the hotel, virtually everyone neglected me inside, and stood there like a dumb cow. Staff could be violent at times. I was even banned by being shouted from the atrium for taking the atrium pictures; and upon check-out, this was what the China girl said "Did you take anything from the minibar???" in a manner harsher than the Siberian desert's climate; and with a piercing eyes bigger than Anne Hathaway's. Luckily, I did not "take" anything from the minibar. I'm sure there is a capital punishment that comes with it.
It's very unfortunate because I love this hotel, and service glitches like this did not do any good justice to the hotel. The Chinese hospitality is a good decade away from the refinement level found at the top hotels in Tokyo and Hong Kong. It has indeed improved, but it looks like the Grand Hyatt needs to accellerate its learning process.
This issue has been well communicated with the Hotel Manager, and let's see how the hotel spruces up in the future. With current refurbishment program in the pipeline, I am confident that it will only get better.

Looking Northwest towards Coal Harbour, Stanley Park and the North Shore mountains. The same mountains we lost for a couple of weeks this summer due to smoke from distant forest fires.
(Please excuse the bird poop top right. Since this building is scheduled for demolition they haven't cleaned it up for some time.)

The Oslo Opera House (in Norwegian, Operahuset) is the seat of The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, and the national opera theatre in Norway. The building lies in Bjørvika, in the center of Oslo, at the head of the Oslofjord. Its builder was Statsbygg, a government-run property owner. The architects were the Norwegian firm Snøhetta who were also the architects of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina (the Library of Alexandria) in Egypt. The theatre designers were Theatre Projects Consultants based in London, the acoustic designers were BrekkeStrandArup, a joint venture between local consultant Brekke Strand Akustikk and international acousticians Arup Acoustics. Norwegian construction company Veidekke was awarded one of the largest building contracts of the project. The structure provides a total area of 38,500 m² and includes 1,100 rooms, one of which has 1,350 seats and another has up to 400 seats. Total expenditures for the building project were planned at 4.4 billion NOK, but finished ahead of schedule, and 300 million NOK under budget.
The Opera House was finished in 2007 with the opening event held on 12 April 2008. King Harald V of Norway opened the Opera House that evening at a gala performance attended by national leaders and royalty, including President Tarja Halonen of Finland, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and Queen Margrethe II of Denmark. The main stage is 16 meters wide, and can be made up to 40 meters deep.
The Opera won the culture award at the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona in October 2008. Jury member Sir Peter Cook said of the Opera House that it "...in its scale, ambition and quality has raised the bar for Norwegian architecture."

I may be a bit biased, but Sunny is the best pup ever! He is an absolute angel which is why he's my best in show mutt.
Actually he is NOT an angel. He pulls when on leash, sometimes plays playground cop at the dog park, barks like a nut at other dogs if he's on leash, barks at strangers, hogs the bed, etc etc.
But he is a huge cuddle bug, so playful, always in a good mood, gentle with little dogs, loves kids, loves men (except one weird guy at the dog park who doesn't like any dog but his own), loves women, loves cats, is great company on a walk, has a great recall, gives great kisses, and is handsome as hell

There were no post-processing of this image besides the selective colors. this was the real scene to wake up to when I stayed at the Genting Hotel @ Genting Highlands, Malaysia.
Located 6,000 meters above sea-level, this vacation destination gives meaning to " Living in the sky", hence it's name 雲頂高原 which literally means "hIghlands above the cloud".
