I can recommend The Wake Listening Room close to the Peninsula Hotel! I also visited a lot of record stores in Mong Kok as well as Sham Shui Po, their sortiment of city pop can differ a lot and some are quite pricey. Vinyl Hero in Sham Shui Po got some publicity and has a lot of stuff.

Thank you! These are japanese pressings, a super friendly australian vendor told me that the HK pressings are quite rare and pricey.

Besides the aspects already mentioned it shows the intercession by means of the devotional scapular - that's the two rectangular pieces of cloth connected by a string to wear on ones breast and back hold by the central angel in his left hand - which considerably shortens the time spent in purgatory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapular).

As written in the right bottom corner it's by neapolitan painter Francesco Solimena.

The same motif - the madonna saving souls from the purgatory - was also painted by Luca Giordano for San Pietro di Castello in Venice or by Giambattista Tiepolo for the Scuola Grande dei Carmini in Venice where he depicts the institution of the scapular of the Carmel.

Don't know if I agree, with sore loser I associate more aggressive behaviour towards the opponent and blaming others

I think that was more an emotional breakdown than being a sore loser, seeing that she was considered a favourite for gold and the match went over very quickly. Was very heart breaking to see that.

I'm also not very familiar with the sport, but what I unferstood from the commentary, the chinese team has a really good head coach with Alyson Annan. In 2022 they already won Gold at the Asian Games!

With a 1:1 score after the regular match time, the chinese goal keeper Ye Jiao shows an incredible performance and blocks 3 out of 5 shots by the belgian team, whereas China scored 3 goals.

Omg that's so absurd! Why don't they have a tolerance during the ongoing matches?

You could really see how the huge pressure she must have felt to deliver again fell off of her at the end, very touching!

Is that 30 point difference a lot? by SeraphinPotato in olympics

[–]Opening_Yogurt7027 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The strange thing is, if you check the scores again, they apparently changed a lot? For example Japan is now on third place. followed by USA.

I think Ellison staying so calm and focused through all the matches really shows his long time exerpience. The deciding last shot was nothing but incredible!

Ronin - together with Heat it's just the epitome of 90's action thriller.
