Western culture at the time was specifically a mark of education and sophistication. <br /><br />Inspired and influenced by imported popular music from the West such as Elvis Presley, Johnny Mathis and The Beatles,[3] Hong Kong artistes started to produce English language pop music in the 1960s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-1577276725237924022012-02-23T14:58:53.780+08:002012-02-23T14:58:53.780+08:00Harbin Ice Festival provides the visitors each yea...Harbin Ice Festival provides the visitors each year a whole new world of ice and snow. <br /><br />The 28th Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival will begin from January 5, 2012 and last for over one month. <br /><br />The best collections of ice artworks are exhibited in five main places.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-23381016421821413742012-02-23T14:37:22.999+08:002012-02-23T14:37:22.999+08:00Hi James.

A trip for me would be comfortable hotels, airconditioning and a car or bus (group travel) for sightseeing.<br /><br />But I guess with such a travelling style one forgets everything after a year.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting.ANDY: Pop Music Not Pills. ©https://www.blogger.com/profile/10946638825812052608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-13614902273159114342012-02-23T10:10:34.543+08:002012-02-23T10:10:34.543+08:00Hi Andy.

Thanks you for your blog on Roger Poh.<br /><br />Travelling light for backpacking is a "no-baggage adventure" and personal experience.<br /><br />It’s an experiment for an adventure of self-discovery on a trip of a lifetime. The treasure of nostalgic memories on the travel for a "thumbdrive of one's life" (As quoted by Miss Ann Wee in Gene Tan's Foreword in "Good Morning Yesterday - The Book" by Lam Chun See).Thimbuktuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04495581875211093357noreply@blogger.com
