WeChat is coming!!!

Admart.Asia's new live chat forum, WeChat is coming! We are now in test mode, and once launched, WeChat will allow anyone in Asia to chat about whatever topic he or she likes.

We have made the chat function as simple to use as follows, and we hope people will enjoy using it.

PS - if you are thinking of registering the domain www.WeChat.Asia it too late - we got it already :) We have this linked to the Admart.Asia website.

Bye for now - Wayan Chan

Chinese version of Admart.Asia

Admart now offers Chinese language (Traditional Chinese and Simplify Chinese) for China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia. The site functions exactly the same as the English version, except that if you select the Chinese language option, everything will be in Chinese. A number of us at Admart spent the last month working on implementing the Chinese functionality (both traditional and simplified Chinese).

It may all look simple (in fact we want it to look simple at the user's end) but I can tell you, that what I have learned is that running a website in multiple languages is challenging! Please do let me know what you think of the Chinese language functionality of the website, or send your feedback to enquiries@Admart.Asia.

As a Chinese speaker, I am very excited and happy with this development. This upgrade now opens up access to the Admart website to millions of people in Asia who prefer to speak in Chinese rather then English. We will see how things go with the Chinese language. If that goes well, we will consider adding other Asian languages, including Japanese, Korean, and Thai.

Let me introduce you guys an organization that Admart.Asia supports - Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR). Google it, or check out the info posted on Admart.Asia here http://www.admart.asia/en/detail.php?id=46&lang=en and you will see. HKDR rescues abandoned dogs, and tries their best to find new homes for them. For any dog to live in a cramped kennel must be very sad. They need a home! They need love and care! Winter is coming, and the kennels in Hong Kong are getting cold. I wish people can foster them or give them a home - that would be the BEST Christmas present ever! For anyone, if you are thinking about getting a dog for Chirstmas, please do not buy one from a pet-shop. Go to the SPCA or an animal shelter for abandoned dogs, and pick one from there.

I go dog walking every weekend up to The Peak. Message me if you like to join. I am glad to show you :)

Winter is coming to Hong Kong and I am getting cold. I love knitting recently. I am knitting a jumper :)
