Time Abroad
by Stinkyposted in News
Hey guys. It has been exactly one week since departing from Sydney so let us recap on some of the places I have been so far. First stop was Singapore. I know what you’re all thinking. You must be saying ‘again?’ so my answer in response to your question (that I made up) is ‘why not?’ Answering a question with a question is probably the most distasteful thing to do but it’s the best I have so please excuse my lack of creativity. It was hot as usual but not as hot as it was when I was there in April. I didn’t really do much other than walk around. When I travel I like to immerse myself into the local culture so I try my utmost to blend in. I don’t carry around a camera, I don’t walk around with a bag and most importantly I do not do what 90% of the other tourists do. I only spent a couple of days there because I tried my best to squeeze in a shop stopover in Hong Kong prior returning to my home away from home (well that’s what it feels like anyway).
Hong Kong was humid and hot and rainy. It was a good excuse to go around town shopping. But much to my dismay, I didn’t find a single thing I wanted to buy. It was kind of disappointing given that fact that my sole purpose in HK was to shop. But nonetheless, I still had a good time going head to head with the local rudeness, shooing away the salespeople trying to tailor make me a suit and making the most of my Octopus Card. So after a quick 2 days I was on my way to my favourite place in the universe. It was only a short 1.5 hour flight but as we ascended into the storm ridden clouds, I experienced the worst turbulence of my life. I literally held onto my seat and tightened my usually loose seatbelt. Fifteen minutes later, the turbulence subsided and I continued to live life without fearing death (lol).
I’m in Taipei at the moment but I did get the opportunity the other day to go down south and visit a couple of friends of mine. This time I did not give them any warning and surprised them at their shop. But the spontaneity of this sort of died when I arrived and they were out to lunch. I sat like a homeless man (albeit with good shoes) in front of their shop on one of the main roads and waited. They eventually arrived and we had a good time catching up. Coming back to this country really makes me realise how much I connect with everything here. I keep telling myself that one time during my life, I need to move here and live here and learn more about this place I have fell in love with. I know it’s not Sydney – some streets smell, the weather is terrible, no blue skies, traffic is chaotic but there is a unique beauty in all of these aspects. I don’t want to go home…
I will leave it here for now and will write more about my time in Taiwan next week. For now, please take care.

Travels
by Stinkyposted in News
Hey guys. It’s been a while since Stinky has traveled the world and there could be a high possibility that he finds himself on yet another plane to another distant land. But this time we might keep it tight lipped and let it be secretive a little while longer. To be honest, when I was a little kid, I would dream about taking off on a plane – regardless of the destination. Travelling was quite expensive and we had the hard task of surviving ten to twelve hour bus trips just to get to another state. Now that we live in a world of budget airlines and competition, we the consumer, are the ultimate beneficiaries of low prices. It really does put a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘The world’s the limit’.
But we are still mindful that there are also those that do not have the luxury of travelling, let alone having any time off. They strive to provide for their loved ones to the best of their ability and in turn sacrifice all self-indulgence. To all those hard workers out there, we just want to say ‘thanks’. We’ll leave it here for now. In the meantime stay safe and be well!

Happy Lunar New Year
by Stinkyposted in News
Hey guys! Happy Lunar New Year! Today marks the start of the lunar New Year to all that follow and know about it. And if you don’t really know about it, I am sure you would have seen some sort of festivities from the Asian community. So it is the year of the Black Snake. What does it really mean?
Well if you read up on your zodiac signs, it would tell you that families with someone who is born in the year of the snake will not go hungry. Men who are snakes are usually romantic and charming. Ladies who are born in the year of the snake are beautiful and successful. But be careful, they tend to lean toward the jealous side.
But snakes can also be wise and become very successful. They say that a snake is a thinker, so naturally they would excel in the world of academia. And if you are a business minded person, you would not have to worry about money – you are naturally successful. This is because snakes can face a difficult situation and solve it quickly and quietly. That is the nature of a snake.
But having said everything above, we simply cannot live by what has been ordained in some script. Each individual needs to find their own personality, their own qualities, and their own success. As we all know, nothing gets delivered to us on a silver platter. Personal achievement is measured by the effort you exert rather than what you reap. And to those who are worried about finding a partner, it does not matter whether they are a snake, dog or dragon. When you find the one that melts your heart, you will know. And even if the zodiac readings tell you otherwise, if they are the one, then you will have nothing to worry about.
So from the team at stinkythepig, we want to wish you all a safe and prosperous New Year. We hope that you will be able to fulfill your goals for the coming year. Stay healthy and strong for yourself and your loved ones. Treat the people you love and care about with utmost sincerity and above all else, stay true to yourself. Blessings be upon you.

An update from the team
by Stinkyposted in News
Hey guys! So it’s been one week since our launch and the buzz is as exciting as ever. We’re still working hard to bring you more products and more stories so please excuse us while we work toward bringing you more!
Many of you have read Stinky’s first story. What do you all think? When we read it, we thought that it was a great start before all the wonderful stories of his adventures are told. Having said this, we thought we would give you a little background information into how and when new stories will be posted. Our goal is to bring to you a new story and picture of Stinky’s adventures every two weeks. That way it gives you all time to read and understand the story whilst it gives us time to chase Stinky and write about his experiences. So please don’t feel as though we are not working hard behind the scenes.
Oh and one last thing, we want to keep things interesting around here. So please leave a comment below and tell us what you think of Stinky’s webpage. We would also like to test your memory and want to hear how tall you think Stinky really is. Who knows? We might even send you a T-shirt for your troubles. And if you have anything you would like to request from us, let us know down below!
That’s all from us this week. Remember to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more updates. New story out next week! So excited! Till then, take care and stay cool (or warm if it is cold).
