DIARY: My media - Steve Yap, director, NFO WorldGroup - Hong Kong

Television

Virtually nil these days, save for the odd news broadcast and sports event.

However I will seek out certain TV shows on VHS and DVD, such as The Sopranos and Ali G. I also like British drama and soap operas but these are pretty hard to come by here, so almost all the leisure hours formerly consumed by TV have now migrated to the internet.

Press

The Economist, still a cracking good read after all these years.

The Asian Wall Street Journal, because it makes me feel important.

Thoroughbred & Classic Cars magazine, a form of escapism when living in a city like Hong Kong.

Q magazine, which covers the current hip young things in the music business, although nowadays I haven't heard of most of the people in it.

Websites

Google Groups (groups.google.com) - web-based access to the world's largest and most diverse bulletin board. The Internet Movie Database (imdb.com) - I can get lost in there for hours. And while it's not a website, I'm addicted to Ion Global's Ion Collider mailing list.

Advertising

The BMW Mini ads that appear in British magazines.

Radio

Teacup in a Storm. It's a popular talk show that always seems to be playing in the taxi cabs that I sleep in on the way to work.
