I'm totally exhausted after a week's stay in Shanghai setting up the new store, our first store in China. I did carry a lot of useful stationery tools in a travel pouch in and out of the dusty store where I breathed in and out hovering particles, making props and arranging displays, but here's what's in my other bag which might interest you more.

This other bag is one made by Lomo called Sidekick, which I have magically put all my essential stuffs inside. I can lose the pouch but I can't lose this one so I was seen carrying at least one bag all the time, worrying it being stolen if I leave it somewhere. You know, in construction site, anything can happen. It contains my most treasured communication, GTD and photography tools: Canon F1 film camera, Panasonic GF1 (I used it to take this shot, with an adaptor I can can use the f/1.4 Canon lens on my GF1), films, Macbook Air, iPhone, pens, name card in case, USB finger, watch, Moleskine sketchbook, mind.depositor 3, diary, etc. Check out the flickr photo to see in details. No wonder I needed those RMB$68 massage sessions after work, my shoulder hurts, even now.
Months ago city'super and Moleskine Asia sat together pounding our heads trying to find a better way to present the two series that would be arriving almost at the same time - Folio Professional and 18 months diaries (after the highly successful Passions journals). We took the "What's in your bag?" concept and here we go, showcasing and peeking into people's bag, it is fun. The campaign is still going on, you just take a picture of your bag's content preferably with a Moleskine product inside, together with such a flyer you pick up from our stores, upload to city'super's facebook (preferably "liking" it too) and you get a chance to win a full set of Folio Professional products worth a HK$3,714. I'm yet to see some quality photos or creative ways to do such shots, so do play with us this little game, see who's photo is the best! Don't worry about eligibility, if your shot is insanely great, I'll find a way to maybe send you some Moleskines. Check out the campaign details here.
