JUPYEAH 幾次收到一個我們非常驚訝的問題：為甚麼收入場費？
On the Press: 給予舊物重生機會
The weather is so bad today. As I work in front of the window I have seen tides of rain… But then I got a text message from the columnist at The Hong Kong Economic Journal saying our story is on today’s papers! Thank god, I grabbed the last copy from the grocery store. Thanks… Continue reading On the Press: 給予舊物重生機會
Behind JupYeah: hope everyone was happy :)
This is one of the busiest days to us before the August pop up swap, when we finally and for the first time met our incredible new backstage juppers who volunteer their priceless help to make JUPYEAH a stronger spirit. I hope we weren’t too embarrassing and managed to make a good impression, so they… Continue reading Behind JupYeah: hope everyone was happy 🙂
Less Stuff, More Happiness
How can less stuff bring more happiness? Graham Hill has his point! The 350 sq ft apartment bachelor brought out the most important change city life needs – shopping makes our life not better, but narrower because the more we shop, the bigger apartment we want, the more burben to our everything. Let’s be material-wise!
Swap in Mexico
We know it without actually hearing it: some older people think what we are doing at Jupyeah is tiny. They may be right but by swapping many great deeds could be achieved – if we have the heart and wit for it. Mexico City, faced with the closing of its major landfill and the terrible… Continue reading Swap in Mexico

The Moneyless Man
對於居於英國的Mark Boyle而言，最重要的是他的車屋、一部太陽能手提電腦和用墨魚骨製成的牙膏，卻身無分文：「讀了六年經濟學，從未見過「ecology」一字。 要不是最後一個學年看過甘地的視頻，我現在可能高薪厚職，義無反顧的勸印度農夫種改基因植物。」
The World’s Smallest Park – thanks to a brilliant mayor!
The inspiring mayor, the 25 year-old Svante Myrick, turned the Reserved for Mayor parking lot into a real parking space for everyone. The space that he can’t make use of because he walks to his office every day, is filled with benches for anyone to drop by. What’s the best part of it? He put… Continue reading The World’s Smallest Park – thanks to a brilliant mayor!
Behind JupYeah: The aftermath
Prepared for the toil, we finally delivered ALL leftovers from our March pop-up swap to a charity this weekend. Again this is one of the charity organizations we have been seriously considering for some time, it is Recycling Community Co-op 社區二手店 in the humble Sham Shui Po. A month ago Pete and I went to their… Continue reading Behind JupYeah: The aftermath
Helsinki’s Cleaning Day
Too busy for blog surfing this week, and I suddenly realised it’s all over my blogosphere – Helskini’s Cleaning Day. It sounds like something about sanitation but nah, it’s the world’s first CLEANING DAY when the entire city flushes its unwanted goods out by donating/selling them on the street. It’s such an interesting idea that… Continue reading Helsinki’s Cleaning Day
