Alibaba Dispute

Feb

I ordered a shopping bags with our logo through Alibaba online. I just checked and the company I ordered send following message.

Dear customer
Thanks for the support of our company!
Because the MARCO comrades on suspicion of theft of confidential data, has been expelled from the company, after all customers please contact e-mail: sale01@cnpromotiongift.com whatsapp：0086 18968905725 QQ:2350414086, if contact with Marco privately, resulting in economic losses, the company will not bear any responsibility, the company will retain the legal channels to resolve the matter with the customer please, thank you!
Steven - General Manager
Ruian Lai Fu Import & Export Co. Ltd.

What a BS. I ordered using something called Alibaba Assurance ... I open a dispute with the vendor and if they do not respond in 3 days, I will have Alibaba take care of it. I hope Alibaba can keep their promise of assurance.

I will keep you posted. If Alibaba cannot resolve this case, I will report that as well. If Alibaba does not come through, I will go through VISA.

Flammable Cargo on i90 from Seattle and Mercer Island

Feb

It says flammable cargo.
Eastbound on i90 floating bridge.

Oh well ... I looked for the place where I can report safety violation on State Patrol website ... It's not there. They should make one ... we can help.

Note: Department of Transportation says trucks carrying flammable cargo are restricted on I-90 between Interstate 5 in Seattle and Island Crest Way on Mercer Island when crews must inspect, test and maintain fire-suppression systems in the I-90 Mount Baker Tunnel and under the Mercer Island lid.

This is something I cannot get in Japan, at least not at this volume.

Interesting Development in Japan

I was walking near the rail track (Yamanote Line in Tokyo) and came across this area (under the track) called no2k540 ... I have no idea what this mean. All the stores have something to do with manufacturing or crafting. You can search by the hashtag #no2k540

2k540
With a central theme of “Japanese monozukuri” (Japanese product making), this is a “street” which promotes new living styles in a row of stores that combine sales shops and craft studios. Including leather goods, jewelry, umbrellas, glasses, shoes, and more, the many different products feature warm and innovative designs that are only available here and that are individually and painstakingly created in the shops by richly original Japanese craftspeople. At some of the shops, you can try your own hand at product making. 2k540 is within walking distance of Akihabara.

Played Golf Today

I wrote 2-111-17
2-11-17 is the right date.

I played golf today. It started okay with 43 for the front 9. Back 9, I was out of energy and shot 53. 10 stroke more than the first 9. Total, 96 ... That is bad. But I think I can get over this jet lag with this golf.

Almost back home !!!

I arrived at Vancouver ... The plane was delayed over 30 minutes leaving the gate at Narita due to the traffic. But we arrived in YVR (Vancouver Airport) about 10 minutes late. TYhe flight itself was smooth with less than 8 hours of flight time. Unfortunately, I was selected fir random bag check ... That took aniother 20 minutes. Good news is I passed!!
