A bit of a arrogant title as a track but the song is so iconic and represents another phase of K-Pop aiming for world domination. 2NE1 pronounced as the number 21 is a quartet girl group from Korea. They competed in MTV Iggy’s Best New Band of The World and eventually emerged as champions in […]
Enjoying our time here in France and taking in every moment to visit the museums and galleries. This is one is by far our favourite. It is part of the Natural History Museum but the Atrium or Main Gallery is definately a sight to take in. I immediately drew comparisons to the Natural History Museum […]
Clon consists of Kang Won-rae and Koo Jun-yup. This K-Pop duo made a debut in 1996 and was around the same time I discovered H.O.T. thanks to my sister. An unfortunate incident in 2000 have left the other half of the pop duo paralyze from the waist down. The other half is DJing as DJ […]
We decided to complete our exploration of the galleries of the French Natural History Museum. We pre-booked our tickets for the Galerie de PALÉONTOLOGIE et D’ANATOMIE COMPARÉE which according to Google translates to Paleontology & Comparative Anatomy Gallery. It is one of the many galleries located at Jardin Des Plantes. Although I have their annual museum […]
I was first introduced to K-Pop by my second sister. It was quite often that either Channel V or MTV Asia will play a Korean Chart Show in the evening and we will be recording some of the music videos on VHS to be replayed later. Although we don’t understand Korean, we are often attracted […]

Rotating through Taiwanese artists, I recall listening to Machi for the first time mainly because the track remixes the original song by Missy Elliot, Work It. I can’t believe this track “Jump 2003” is now twenty years old. There is another version that has Missy Elliot’s vocals in it. They rap in my native Hokkein […]
I was active on Olio when I was living in Woking and frequently visit the local fruit stall for bargains. I have yet to find an equivalent of them here in Paris but discovered the bargain box of fruits and vegetables at my local Carrefour which gives me the same satisfaction. I found similar box […]
I have been travelling again for work and have been on the road for the past week and can’t believe the week has gone. Well, I wanted to share this track and was fortunate to find a video with a literal English translation to the lyrics. This catchy pop song is by a Taiwanese Entertainer, […]
Well, almost a month late since 1st January 2023 but do you know every 1st January, thousands of works become copyright free? This is because the maximum period to protect the work and commercially profit from it ends. This year, see famous characters like Winnie The Pooh going into the public domain. This doesn’t mean […]
