Size  N/A
Age Grading  adult
Package Dimension  17cm x 35cm x 10cm
Package Weight  2.5kgs
Product Size  76.2cm x 190cm x 22cm

Because I move by a little amount of baggage, I searched for easily movable beds in the internet shopping malls. INTEX was the vendor which seems to have great share in air bed, because most of the choice of air bed were supplied from INTEX. (Photo from ebay.com)

1. Feeling in time of sleep
I worried for the effect of air bed to spine when I sleep for hours in the air bed, because it was first time for me to sleep in air bed. But after I spent almost 2 weeks, better feelings than traditional mattress I noticed, as well as I suffered from no pain in my spine.

The feeling is not so firm like spring bed mattress, but quite soft and easy to fall a sleep. Moving and changing body position on the bed was a little hard but If I keep straightly in the center of air bed, I can sleep well with that pose for even more 8 hours.

2. Easy to install and Uninstall
This INTEX SINGLE AIR BED is easy to inflate and deflate. This bed can be stored in a small box of 30.5 cm x 24 cm x 7.5 cm. The weight without air is about 2.5 kg. Very useful if you move your room frequently. (Photo by James Kim, Nikon Coolpix)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HOW TO INFLATE AND DEPLATE
(1) Valve Cap
(2) Exhaust Valve Cap

1. BEFORE INFLATING
Make sure that the exhaust valve cap is securely tightened

2. TO INFLATE
* Pull valve cap to open. See Fig 1.
* Insert the nozzle from an air pump into the inflation Valve. See Fig 2.
* Inflate the product to approximately 80% of desired firmness.
CAUTION : To prevent bursting, do not over inflate or use high pressure air compressor.
* Close valve cap securely after inflation. See Fig 3.

3. TO DEPLATE
* Carefully unscrew the exhaust valve cap to release the air. See Fig 4.
CAUTION : When opening, point the exhaust valve away from any person.
* Replace the exhaust valve cap back when the product is completely deflated.    
  See Fig 5.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Save the room space
Air bed is less than 3 kg with air inside, so the bed can easily moved to the wall side to save the space of the room. When you need to do exercising or other works in the room, you can easily move the bed to corner size and put up to the wall. 

4. Easy to inflate
Without pump, you can breathe the air into the bed. Before you do this, you need to wash a little near the air valve. For my experience it took around 10 minutes to fill enough air to Single size air bed. It does not take much strength if an adult breathes the air. (photo by James Kim, Nikon Coolpix)

5. Low shipping cost
The seller ships the product at $4.95 by Australia Post.

Quite particular sleeping experience in INTEX SINGLE AIR BED. A lot of unique products are available from INTEX for SOFA, BED and FURNITURES.

[REVIEW[ CARIBEE FAST TRACK CABIN BAG

Previously I had another CABIN size bag, which I purchased in AMAZON.COM. But the zipper caused irreparable problem before I take the flight. And I bought a low cost cloth bag from duty-free shop and put the damaged bag into it. After I arrived in this country, I needed a new CABIN bag, which can give enough extendable inside space, and the special structure to store laptop and tablet. (Photo from theluggageprofessionals.com.au)

I kept searching some models in AMAZON.COM again, but all the practical models hided itself from the list of products. And when I searched in Google, and other price comparing website, I found this cute and very useful-looking bag. And after I read the detailed specification and looked detailed photos, I came to like this bag. 

The price $74 was a little higher than my budget, but I thought if I can use this bag for more than 1 year or 2 year, I can save money because of such long endurance. A couple of months ago, I lost much money and suffered from pain because my previous CABIN bag was damaged during my flight travel.

When the bag arrived to my cabin, the weight was quite light. I opened the plastic packing and took out the bag. And I was impressed by the many practical and sophisticated design and consideration which were contained in the CARIBEE FAST TRACK CABIN BAG.

The first point which remains in my memory, is the green-fluorescence-colored zones hidden in various position of the bag. Its design was very unique, and enhanced the product brand quality, for I did not see such trial before with other bags. When I opened zippers, inside of bag was covered with full green-fluorescence-colored material. And the color made me feel new and gave me the heart of concentration to new jobs. (Photo from theluggageprofessionals.com.au)

Second point I want to explain for the reason I like, is mini pockets inside of front cover pocket. There were a lot of useful mini pockets, and I used those pockets very usefully during train travel. I came to think out various ideas to use each mini pockets. A pocket for mobile phone battery, a pocket for pens, a pocket for zip bags, a poclet for mp3 player, and a pocket for DVDs.

Third point I want to say, is the side mini pockets. I sometimes put cosmetics, tissue, soaps,or tower. 

Fourth point is the laptop storage place in the back pocket. It can be extendable enough to put even 1 laptop and 1 ultrathin laptop such as tablet.

The final point is the bottom of the bag. On the bottom surface, there are 2 rubber supports which make the contamination of the bag least. And it makes bag washing easy.

This bag is designed to satisfy the regulation of most airline companies for CABIN carry bag. And I chose this bag as a best option for flight, train, and bus travel. Sure it gave best function for my frequent travel in this country.

I wish to see the advanced versions of CARIBEE FAST TRACK CABIN BAG soon, which would give more practicality and endurance of the bag materials, as well as various creative pocketing ideas.

[REVIEW] PROSPECS W HIGHLANDER WALKING SHOES

PROSPECS is the Korean sports brand, which means PROFESSIONAL SPECIFICATION, and I rarely considered to purchase a running shoes or walking shoes by this brand, except for a high utility sports sandal from PROSPECS which I purchased in 2006. Before I recognize the shoes is very important for those who walk for long time daily, I usually chose $10 to $20 shoes made in China. After I had severe wound on the toe of left foot during the trip in overseas, I learned the protection of body is much important than saving the cost. (photo from prospecs.com)

When I chose $30 shoes it was quite better, but as a walking shoes, I would like to recommend a high quality shoes with brand value, technology and a proper price which reflects the quality. 

Just as the product name W HIGHLANDER, this product has solid soles and very firm shoes body. The reason I came to have an intention to check the specification and the benefits in my spiritual mission is someone from Hyundai brand, recommended me for my benefit. (photo by James Kim)

When I searched for PROSPECS in ebay, this was only man's shoes from PROSPECS. I heard recently PROSPECS is concentrating on the custom shoes build business for professional Athletes and celebrities. 

I already have ASICS LIFEWALKER Walking shoes which I ordered around July 2012, but it was almost time to replace walking shoes with new one, even though I still have one more running shoes from ASICS.

$79.40 plus $7.28 shipping cost was not a little expense, but I found special hidden message in the number of these prices. With this hidden message, I prayed to God about whether I should order this product or not. I ordered this product in mid of October, but I cancelled for God gave a little wiered message at that time.

But around end of October, message of God came again about PROSPECS brand and I decided to place an order and chose this W HIGH LANDER SHOES for my next walking shoes.

God said the enemy will be defeated and forced down to the ground, serving my mission by offering tribute. And when I asked God which size of shoes I should order, God answered with number 29 which exactly means my SIZE 11 (290mm). 

The another reason I was made to order this product is that I like the brand of Hyundai Shopping Mall, and PROSPECS Advertizement model YUNA KIM - 2010 Olympic figure skater champion in ladies' singles. Because I like the brand history of Hyundai, and the character of YUNA KIM, I chose to place order. As well, God decisively granted me to order this shoes, when I asked him.

What I saw carefully after I receive the product, is High-abrasion Outsole, which is designed to enhance anti-skid outsole performance which is highly adaptable to changing weather conditions. (photo from prospecs.com and hyundaihmall.com)

And another technology I felt when I put on W HIGHLANDER, was the different feeling of shock absorber and return of force from the sole of heel. The absorber does not operate for little amount of pressure, but heavily reacts for high speed shock. 

Most appealing technology from PROSPECS brand is the protection of the ankle from spraining by supporting inner arch of foot with the supporting structure of shoes. The feature makes the foot stable in walking or running. The explanation from PROSPECS brand for this unique support feature is found in its product page. (photo from prospecs-usa.com)

"Running and walking have very different strides and thus different shoe requirements. When walking, the first impact is on the heel. PROSPECS builds walking shoes with a firm heel cup (unlike running shoes) to keep the foot aligned from that first impact. 

When walking, the foot is on the ground longer during every stride than in running. PROSPECS' patented MoveFrame TM Technology holds and supports the foot to keep it from pronating and supinating, keeping the foot and joints balanced and properly aligned. When walking, the impact on joints is merely the body's weight, while running has an impact of three times the body's weight. Running shoes are primarily focused on absorbing the shock of that impact. They are not designed for the need of motion control in the foot or a steady platform."

I expect further innovated shoes technology and design idea would become available soon from PROSPECS brand.

[REVIEW] GIANDEL WIDE SEAT EXECUTIVE CHAIR - QO8902

         GIANDEL                
EXECUTIVE CHAIR           
Selection of chair is very important for the people who stay in the chair more than 8 hours a day. Wrong selection of chair causes the distortion of backbone and malshaping of body bones. Especially for the young student and kids, wrong habit of seating can bring the diseases in backbone discs and even worsen the concentration to the study. (photo from ebay.com)

For the professionals who work with computers, selection of chair changes the efficiency and speed of works and it gives influences to the whole company's profits and performance.

Most seriously affected part by wrong chair is the end of backbone which is contacted with the surface of chair. If this part suffers from stress, pressure and friction, the user cannot seat in the chair for a long time, losing the concentration for the job.

GIANDEL WIDE SEAT EXECUTIVE CHAIR is not only for the executives or presidents of the companies. But also it helps people in the work place to have healthy work environment, and to enhance the satisfaction to the job.

The special reason why I chose this model is because of the unique function which enables to change the angle of back plate of chair. With a left lever, the user can change or fix back plate angle, and even this function enables the user to sleep or take a rest in the chair. And with right lever, user can change the height of seat.

It has more value than its price when the user wants to change the mood of seating according to the respective state of body stress and to the need of concentration by changing the back plate angle. (Photo by James Kim)

There are many low-chair from $50, but my previous cheap chair had problems in endurance and quality, such as the chair lost balance. Also the low-cost chair made the body exhausted in a short time, causing pains in the buttocks. So for the chair, I try to select the quality ones , comparing various chairs, regardless of the price, because if the chair harms you, you throw away that money.

This product seems to the only and best-priced one which is available from Australia in ebay.com. And I would like to recommend this chair for serious consumers for quality seating experience. One year warranty and free shipping cost to Australia at $154.99.

[REVIEW] CARIBEE CENTURION 110LT TROLLEY WHEELED BAG LUGGAGE

   CARIBEE CENTURION            
   110LT TROLLEY WHEELED   
   BAG LUGGAGE                            

I purchased this trolley bag to divide my luggage from my previous trolley bag. I used rail network with 3 months Ausrail pass and the rail regulation for baggage weight is 20kg, a little lower than international flight regulation. 

I like CARIBEE brand because I can find some creative and practical design and helpful ideas in the bag design. The first appealing point for CARIBEE CENTURION 110LT TROLLEY was quite unique design idea for balancing color and effective luggage handle position, logo array, pocket shape and accessibility. 
The 2 handle positions on the top face is creative and useful to move the luggage from or to inside of taxi or luggage carriage of train. 
(photo from caribee.com)

The second point was the location and shape of NAME TAG pocket for it is quite extraordinary idea with cute name tag cover and CARIBEE.COM logo which can help to find the owner of bag by purchase tracking in case the bag is lost..(photo by James Kim)

Third point is the rubber-coated metal frames on the bottom side of the bag. 2 metal poles make the shape of bag firm and make least contact between the bottom of bag and the surface of ground, which helps to keep the bag bottom clean from dirt and to clean the bag more easily. 

(photo from campingcentral.com)
I have another hand-carry bag from CARIBEE and the brand's some of unique design idea has been fitting most well for my life style and purpose of use until now. 

One another function I hope to see in the future product is the ZIPPER system which enables the user to extend the size of bag, because sometimes, the volume can be more than the weight.

I hope to see more impressive products with creative and practical ideas in the near future from CARRIBEE.

This product can be purchased from CAMPING CENTRAL.

[REVIEW] COLES HANGER PLASTIC BLACK

MOST FREQUENTLY USED 
                   COLES PRODUCTS - 1

I reminded the days of past 8 months to find out the most influential products in my life in Australia, and COLES HANGER PLASTIC BLACK was a quite low cost but importantly used product. I have used this hanger for 24 hours, every day to hang cloths and to dry the washed cloths. (photo from coles.com.au)

I bring a quite amount of my own hangers to my hotel room not only for sanitation purposes when I travel, but because usually not enough amount of hangers are provided in the room for hanging and drying.

Before I use COLES HANGER PLASTIC BLACK, I used cheap white iron wire hangers which the laundry shop freely gives to the customer. With this COLES plastic hanger, I could save a lot of space to store cloths and keep the cloths tidy and clean.

COLES HANGER PLASTIC BLACK has high endurance and rust-free cleanness. In its design, it is quite beautiful and makes to feel simple practicality, compared with other traditional ones. I purchased 2 sets of this product by COLES SHOP ONLINE and when I visited COLES Belbay, and it has been one of most helpful items in arranging my daily life.
