you're all set.

Is it all set?

You say "go fly a kite" to tell someone to go to another place and do something different; leave here (agressive). Example: "Oh- not you again!" Reply: "Hey, why don't you go fly a kite?"

Go fly a kite can be considered rude or aggresive because you are abruptly telling the other person to go away.

Hong Kong pop singers Jill Vidal and Kelvin Kwan were arrested in Tokyo for possession of marijuana, the Ming Pao newspaper reported on Wednesday.

The duo was reported by a salesperson for shoplifting in Tokyo's Shibuya shopping area on February 24. Police then searched Kwan's belongings and found a small amount of marijuana. Kwan later confessed that he brought it from Hong Kong while Vidal claimed she had not been aware of the situation, the report said.

Kwan, 25, a nationalised Canadian and Vidal, 26, a British citizen, arrived in Japan on February 20 for a vacation. The two were both active promoting Hong Kong's anti drug campaigns, according to various reports.

The Japanese police authorities declined to reveal further details of the case.

According to Japanese law, possession and use of marijuana may be punishable by up to five years imprisonment and the penalty for drug smuggling is up to seven years. In 1980, English singer Paul McCartney was found with more than 200g of marijuana in his luggage when he arrived at a Tokyo airport. He was deported after spending ten days in jail and was told he was not welcomed in Japan again.

South Korean enacted its adultery law more than 50 years ago to protect women who then had few rights in a male-dominated society, but critics say now it is a draconian measure no longer fit for a country with an advanced civil and family court system.

Prosecutors had been seeking 18 months in jail for Ok So-ri who admitted to having an affair with a singer. The suburban Seoul court sentenced her to eight months in prison but she avoided jail because the sentence was suspended for two years.

Taiwanese consumers could receive their spending vouchers from the government in time for Chinese New Year. Ruling Kuomintang (KMT) Secretary General Chang Sho-wen said Wednesday that the spending voucher legislation could pass in the legislature as early as next Friday.

Opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) whip Lai Ching-de said that the DPP will not stand in the way of the statute because the economic stimulus is needed. However, he criticized the government for not simply giving out cash rather than vouchers.

Under the statute, every man, woman and child that is a citizen of Taiwan will receive 3600 Taiwan dollars or almost US$110 in the form of spending vouchers. The vouchers have to be spent within a certain amount of time and are intended to boost the flagging domestic economy.
