Cheap Second Hand Bikes in SingaporePosted by Roger Keays, 17 March 2010, 3:12 PM If you're looking for a cheap second hand bike in Singapore, you might like to check out this shop I found in Paya Lebar. I picked up a pretty good second hand bike there for just SGD 40. It got stolen from Little India the day before I left Singapore, so next time I'll make sure I get a better lock :) Here are the a picture and details of the shop. It's a kilometre or two from the nearest MRT station, Paya Lebar.

Review of Australian Merchant AccountsPosted by Roger Keays, 17 February 2010, 3:56 PM Having a good merchant facility goes a long way to simplifying the accounting for your business. Here are some quotes I got from several Australian banks when I set up the merchant account for Sunburnt Web Solutions. They are separated into two types of accounts: gateway accounts, which can be linked directly to your website so all payments can be made automatically, and MOTO (Mail-Order, Telephone-Order) accounts, which let you login to the bank's website to process credit card payments manually. The quotes I was given were based on volumes of 50 transactions / month with an average transaction amount of $100. You should definitely check with the banks for the latest prices. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

10 Trivial and Weird Things About JapanPosted by Roger Keays, 1 December 2009, 4:18 AM Japan is certainly a unique place. After collecting a long list of interesting and often bizarre quirks, I have managed with some difficulty to whittle it down to just these 10 observations which to me characterise Japan. Let's start with number 10 deshou? 10

Cheap Guest House TokyoPosted by Roger Keays, 13 November 2009, 4:04 AM While looking for a new place to stay in Tokyo, I collected some data in a spreadsheet like a good little boy scout should. Now you get to benefit :) For comparison purposes ¥1 is currently about 1.2c in Australia. Basically, you get what you pay for. You can get private accommodation from ¥1200 / night if you don't mind squeezing through a hole to get into your 'room'. Your room in this case is just your bed. Any livable space is going to cost ¥2000 / night at the very least. November / December seems like a pretty good time in terms of prices. Several of the guest house agencies were having specials, so I managed to get a place at a pretty good price, and without paying a deposit. How? Well, I first I went through the following directories: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Words in My HeadPosted by Roger Keays, 26 July 2009, 4:18 AM Strangely, I find that words are kept in a small putty shaped area in the upper back left region of the RIGHT hemisphere of my brain. French words lie low at the back, English spreading themselves across the roof as if gravitated there by some indeterminate force. Korean words spin rapidly in a small near-singularity in the dead center and Japanese try persistently to exit the whole enclosure by throwing themselves at the front door. Spanish words have formed themselves into a smooth stalactite and hang serenely from the ceiling, surrounded by the urgent English. Hebrew words fly gaily across the cavern following no particular pattern, but swoop and dive regularly over a glistening pool of Swiss German who are unperturbed by the activity. Vietnamese huddle in an alcove near the entrance, scoffing irritably at the noisy Japanese, while tiny Malay and Indonesian words march precociously across the floor poking the French and teasing the Hebrew words, though they can't reach them. |
