Bedshaped

that's too far of that guy to put it... but he(or she) must have his own influential reasons to say that. different people go thru different things in their life and hence different points of view. if he has to change, he has to be influenced by more positivity (love) to extinguish his negativity (hate) he has received all his life... then why not give it by us first? if we're strong enough against hurt. people discriminate against each other due to minor differences in our look/way but those people are a minor part of it all as well... there're always some strange minorities in the world. so, no worries i think; that kind of thinking will never be the mainstream. i loved the old English man that softly tapped my shoulder from my back when he's passing the narrow passage to his seat. (my weirdly designed seat was the blockage to him) and i was surprised at the way he later looked back and smiled at me.... how nice it could've been... if i was strong enough to face it. But his hand was like a gift from heaven, it calmed my storm inside with peace and it did have an impact on me to enjoy Coldplay's great concert. how great it is, the little things we do to people that can be so powerful. i'm a original yellow hongkonger too, one who doesn't even speak ok english (only got an E in oral exam) due to the very little exposure to the language here... (writing can be deceiving tho) but i know i myself is responsible for it anyway. btw, a teacher told me the word 'foreigner'... is discriminating too and should be avoided, right? anyway, 'english foreigners' aside, i think quite a lot of yellow-looking people are not hong kong locals. they flew over to see coldplay O_O i heard those people next to me during concert and on the train speak fluent English and never Cantonese... so... something makes me think from the very beginning this coldplay show is more meant for foreigners rather than locals... there was no obvious public advertising at all during the early sale of ticket until near the ... deadline. (the 'talk' song was released to local radio stations only a week or two before the concert.) or, are all shows here like this? so we locals couldn't know of the happening of this show easily. perhaps it's a measure; they wants foreign visitors to travel hong kong? the same seems to go for robbie williams's concert here in november; most tickets were sold prior to the public ticket release date (to the robbie community, where most are 'foreigners'), leaving out only the cheapest pricing tickets which were all sold out too in a flash. (sorry for the edits)

There's a set list here too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_Logic_Tour Wow, you got there at 8! O_o but still there's 4 people ahead of you. I got in at around 10:03 and there was no one ... maybe not many people knew this branch (Sheung Shui) has moved to a new location. Still, I didn't take this chance to get a good $780 ticket. Come to think of it, so regretful, but I don't deserve one for many reasons. I only got a front $380 right next to the central $580 seats. Luckily it's beside the stairs so that maybe I can get up for the jumpy songs (Talk, GPASUYF, WS) I love without disturbing people at the back :) Doesn't sound like I do for the ticket I got but I really yearned for this for so long, having been checking the tour information on their web site since months ago. I became a bit disappointed after they announced the Japan dates as I worried they won't tour the rest of the East Asia this time, but I was soon proved wrong and got all hot-blooded again weeks later after I read the ezine17! I really hope Hong Kong will give Coldplay a good image and make them wanna come back in the future! :)

Why there's no standing ticket! Will it still be entertaining? Will the crowd be too shy to stand up? =x (imagining how will it be like for the band to perform in front of a bunch of dinner tables -- that expensive VIP package blockage)

Wow. Actually this is my first time seeing an international artist live (and I haven't been to any concert in years). So will we have to line up early at the Tom Lee Music shop nearby for a ticket? I'm afraid their website will be down and their phone number will be unreachable at 10am. :)

Hello! :) Oh my case is exactly the same. I wasn't expecting the hidden bonus track to be Pour Me (live) at all! Then I searched "coldplay x&y" on http://www.amazon.co.jp and saw that there are 2 Japanese CCCD versions, one of which is a lower-priced (1,680 yen) limited edition in white cover instead of the usual blue one. Mine is that one and I think that is the problem, >_-" ... is it not?
