i can see the little building i am at by google. good thing my car is under roof :0)
i think each of us think of our own place as best/better, because it is where we are comfortable, given that family and friends are all over the place for just about all.
in the way of priorities (health, family, friends, passion for doing, income statement and balance sheet), a balance must be circled, and each has own desired balance.
in my scheme of things, hkg is perfect. nz would bore me to a shorter life, as would iceland. want to see trees? visit a forest, that be where trees are.
some folks cannot live without watching an opera every week, and for them, they must live elsewhere.
in hk we keep necessities simple: great food, lots of travel, plenty of non-commute time, oodles of own biz to mind over as there is no government to mind over us, etc etc
one can point to 'all that pollution', but for the folks here, as long as one does not insist on sitting at a street corner in town for the whole day, one must question, 'what pollution? the index as reported in the newspaper? what of it? does it shorten our lives' ... apparently not cia.gov , and so what is the issue?
cia.gov
and so when the likes of new zealanders talk about hk's forest in a denigrating way, there is not even a cause to rise to a serious defense. as in, want a forest, buy one in nz.
and should one want to live longer still, just give up sex chinadaily.com.cn |
