On the 26 July I decided to buy a new lens for the Canon 400D, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens. I opted to buy it in ebay (Hong-Kong) to save some euros. The order was placed the the Lens was shipped to Portugal a few days later. I was very surprised to find out that the tracking number I got from the hong kong postal office works in the portuguese postal office website. Very nice! The lens arrived at Portugal on the 3rd of August, and got held by customs for random check. It stayed in the Customs office for 2 weeks until it was released to the Postal Office. The mailman tried to deliver the Lens on the 20th of August, but since I wasn’t home he left a notice and took the lens back to the postal Office Building. The very next day the Lens where mistakenly handled at the postal office and got sent back to Hong Kong. By the time I got to the Postal office building the clerk looked for the package for more than 30min and couldn’t find it (It was probably on it’s way back already). After some phone calls he confirmed that the Lens had already been sent to Hong Honk by mistake. I asked the ebay seller to resend the package, paid again for postage and today I has finally arrived

This weekend I had the chance to play with a Segway x2 in the Pena Aventura Park. Having never driven a segway before, the feeling was amayzing. The learning curve is pratically non existing. In less than 1min you feel confident to do almost anything. Trully a remarkable product.

RTFM!
