Dear Friends
Greetings from the plastic pearl of the orient !
It's been a very good year full of unforgettable life experiences and transformation.
In Asia, we entered the year with the tragedy of the tsunami disasters weighing on our minds.
Hong Kong
Hong Kong has taken only 8 years to transform itself from being an exciting, dynamic Asian city to a mere Chinatown. After all, the people in Hong Kong have built a Chinatown that they deserve. Mainland government is not to be blamed.
Pollution has become really bad. It's smoggy everyday, and there are too many mainland tourists everywhere you go. Please do not come to Hong Kong for pleasure! Go somewhere else where they don't talk like ducks and chickens, por favor!
Threat of avian flu outbreak
I have more sympathy for the chickens than for the people. The human race has been systematically slaughtering them for so long that I think it's only fair that they strike back. What's really haunting and totally disgusting is that in countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, they sometimes just burn the chickens alive en masse. I don't know whether it's because they are plain ignorant or they are just simply cruel and enjoy observing the gruesome process.
