It's crazy how much Hong Kong has grown upwards since I was last there in '93.
By the pricking of my thumb,
Something wicked this way comes.
Open, locks,
Whoever knocks.

For the last time ye twats: I am Perfectly aware that Hong Kong, the former British Colony is now a part of CHINA, not Japan!
I know this, did not say that it was part of Japan, and I greatly Enjoyed James Clavell's books.
So bugger off

'Secondly, I don't see why "income inequality" is a bad thing. Poverty is not an injustice. There is no such thing as causes for poverty, only causes for wealth. Poverty is not a wrong, but taking money from those who have it to equalize incomes is basically theft, which is wrong.' - Typical Randroid

The hotel had a collection of huge green Rolls Royces and white gloved chauffeurs. Purty....Big Orange wrote:I like the car.
