Salmon Sushi flavoured Potate Chips

サーモン寿司味ポテチ

Salmon Sushi flavoured Potate Chips

This is a snack sold in Seven-Eleven at Hong Kong. Salmon Sushi flavourd Potato Chips.
I’ve never seen in Japan. It looks good, so I tried it.

There was two bags in outer bag. One is a wasabi powder bag, and another is a potato chips bag. According to instruction written in back, I should put wasabi powder in the potato bag, and shake it.

Without wasabi powder, it tastes like an Ebisen. But aftertaste was like Salmon. I couldn’t feel “Sushi” flavour. (Also I don’t know what sushi flavour like…)

Wasabi powder was exactly wasabi. It was good. You should eat together.

BTW, why did they make a salmon sushi flavour snack rather than tuna or something?
There is many salmon menus in sushi restaurants. Are they popular in Hong Kong?

I visited Hong Kong (Hong Kong Pro-democracy Protests)

Selfie! (A little bit outdated?)

I’ve seen around Hong Kong and Macau.
I have many purposes visiting Hong Kong like sightseeing, shopping etc.
But first of all, I’ like to write about Hong Kong Pro-democracy Protests.

Now Hong Kong is…

Currently (2014/11/22), I think everything in Hong Kong is normal except very limited exceptions. It is safe. If you don’t anything thoughtless things like violences or breaking something, it is okay.

There is so many photographers, and so many people taking picture with their smartphones. (Sure, I’m one of them.)

About protesting

There is two large demonstrators groups. One is around Mong Kok Station (旺角駅) at Kowloon. Another one is around Admiralty Station. (金鐘駅) Roads at both of them is blocked with a barricade. Mong-Kok is like an shopping street. Admiralty is the distinct of government offices and large banks.

Mong-Kok is located at Kowloon area.

Here is an shopping street. There is many visitors and locals.
Cars were blocked by the barricades, but pedestrians can walk into there. Shops were open.

There is some people speeching, but so few demonstrating people. Here is relatively mild.

He was speeching in Chinese language (maybe). Polices listen his speech, but not tense atomosphere.
I didn’t recognize his speech because I didn’t recognize Chinese language.

There was so many things to protest.
Almost of them are in Chinese Language so I could not read them. But I could read Kanji, so I understood meaning of about half of them.

I think they are so creative. It may be result of thinking for observer from outside country. (Or they just kidding.)

Japanese person who says about nuclear power or forign people something should look them.

Some people said different thing than main stream protesting. Maybe person in this picture was saying about unfair treatment of a trial.

This is easy one to understand for us. Probably this says like “Return a right to use roads! I’m protesting blocking roads!”. (Perhaps misunderstanding…)

My WordPress site has improved performance (In particularly Admin pages)

WordPress is too heavy for my small instance. In particularly Admin pages is heavy. Pages viewers is not really because of page caches. (These pages are heavy too when not on caches.)

However, I found a web page about WordPress running time. I installed a plugin “001 Prime Strategy Translate Accelerator” which introduces in the page then my WordPress web site improved a little bit. This plugin improve performance with MO files (translation files) caches.

I am using W3 total cache for overall performance. Some blogs say it is good for admin pages performance to disable Object Cache of W3 total cache. ( ((Japanese) WordPressの管理画面が重い場合の対処法) ) I did it. But I don’t know how good it is.

Some people might say anyone would not care about performance of admin pages. But I do. Because it makes me very frustrating. I gave up writing posts many times because of it.
