Today I am back in Hong Kong for only a short time. I have been having meetings and running around trying to get everything done before I head off to Los Angeles to resume shooting Rush Hour 3. I went to the dentist because I hurt a tooth when I was filming in Paris and I wanted him to have a look at it. I've been using the same dentist for 30 years and he knows every tooth in my mouth. He told me that I'd damaged the inside of this tooth and I will have to have work done on it once I'm finished filming Rush Hour 3. He wondered why I didn't use the protective mouthpiece he made for me and of course I had no answer for him. "I just don't use it," I told him. Now I have to spend more time in the dentist's chair because I didn't take his advice!

While I was at the office, I went through some of the photos I brought back from Paris and I found a few that I wanted to tell you about because I didn't mention them in my diary. 

 
This is a photo of Brett and me with one of our cameramen. He adopted three children from Korea and his wife and father brought them along for a visit on the set. They also brought their little dog named Paris (he has a purple tongue!). I really like this photo.

Here I am with Paris in Paris.

I thought this was really funny. It's a crossword puzzle from People magazine and I'm clue number 18 Across!  Ha ha!

This is my mobile phone. Here's what happened: One day I was washing my clothes in the bathtub and I stepped on something hard in the water and thought to myself, "What the heck was that?"  Well, it was my phone. I took it apart to dry it out and was amazed that after I put it back together, it worked fine! I don't recommend that you try this at home (ha ha); it's best just to keep your mobile out of the laundry.

These photos are the first ever shown of a car I designed with some British and Russian car designers. You can see the model on top of the car; the car itself is in early stages of being built. My associates wanted me to meet them to see the progress of the car, but they were in England, a six hour trip from Paris. To save time they put the car in a trailer and met me halfway! I wanted you to see it and I'd like to know what you think of it.

A close-up of the model.

The car is still being developed and we are making some changes as we go along.

What do you think?

Here is a postcard from the restaurant where we ate lunch. This Inn is over 500 years old!

I hope you enjoyed looking at these pictures. Tonight I will go to a special dinner to celebrate the success of Rob-B-Hood and then I'll be off for Los Angeles tomorrow! See you in LA.
