- I realized that, I translated for my employee an English email to English. Because it started with a German "Hallo" instead of the English "Hello“, I sent it to automatic translation to make it easier for my staff. I wrote: "Here is the English translation: ..." It's time to take a holiday 😳
- Who is the best YouTuber in the family? The question is answered. And I lost. My son reached today 2 Million views. Congratulations to him! Proud of you, son!
- Good night Tuen Mun. It was great seeing you.
- Arriving home yesterday brought also the challenge that there is no flushing water available - since Friday up to Wednesday. So I was teaching my son how to use a bucket or simply the showerhead. Arriving at the office, the second good news: no flushing water for the whole day.
- Before you ask: In Hong Kong, "flushing water" usually means seawater supplied specifically for flushing toilets, through a separate plumbing network from the normal tap supply. So as long you have fresh- or tab water (and a bucket), you’re fine!
- The bigger challenge actually is that every night around 6 am they turn on the water for one hour. With the result that the water tank for my toilet in my bathroom overflows, probably because the water flows so slowly. So, I am standing again in 2 cm of water in my bathroom. 🙄
- Laundry floods the kitchen, toilets flood the bathroom, the water heater does not work, and those people use plastic hoses to control the water. And of course, if you ask the management office, it's all not related. The highest competence level I saw in Hong Kong until now.
- Here we go. My reach on Threads vs. X. Mostly the same posts. Users on X ask often who is using Threads. I would ask who is using X?! If you post positive content, it’s a place you can ditch easily.
- Do you know the time when we listened to one tape half a year long? It’s a long time ago… today, I’m reaching 1000 different songs within 29 days.
- Editing my loudest video yet. And I'm laughing 😂 It’s always more fun in the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤️
- How have I improved my productivity? I’ve stuck with my App for years. Not because it’s perfect— because I trust it. The real fix was habits: capture in one place, touch the list daily, and do a weekly review so it stays trustworthy. wyssdaniel.com/2026/01/31/h...
- Last night in the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I came here many times already. But every time, I'm impressed by the city. Now I'm heading back home to Hong Kong
- Last day in Ho Chi Minh City for this trip, and I’m eating Bun Cha, one of my favorite Vietnamese dishes. And of course a local beer.
