Best Ubuntu repository in Southeast Asia

I've never found a repo mirrin in the Philippines that's fast or updated, so I usually get my updates elsewhere, Taiwan or Malaysia.  I (belatedly) found this Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) Ubuntu repository hosted in Singapore:
http://ap-southeast-1.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com.s3.amazonaws.com/ubuntu/

It's pretty fast, and I there's little doubt about their capacity, considering their commercial requirements.

Just add it to your sources.list.

Ubuntu on Feisty

Having upgraded my MSI S270 laptop to Ubuntu's Feisty fawn, I kinda got used to the built-in card-reader not working. I've been a long-time user of Ubuntu (Warty Warthog 4.10 whetted my appetite) and now moving up from Dapper Drake 6.10 LTS to Feisty Fawn, after skipping Edgy Eft.

I am surprised to find out that it actually does.

Here's a peek of what I got:

The internal card reader for the MSI S270 is working! (Or at least the MMC/SD card reader is working. I don't have an MS card to test.) All the while I thought I had the Ricoh R5C576A reader which isn't working in Linux - yet.
