dunno, seems to me Hong Kong has a lot of freedom and even with the current hiccup, compares favourably to most places, for one can easily see the situation elsewhere under similar circumstances deteriorating to looting and burning.

What the mrs tell me is, "you know, now the shopkeepers are just like during SARS, really courteous and helpful whereas before tends to be haughty or hard"

What another told me is what helpful demonstrators did to guide him and his wife out of a people jammed place and on the road to home.

I see the demonstrations on the HK streets as an expression of freedom, and the property-damaging and people-harming counter-actions an expression of rule-of-law. Anywhere else on the planet the shops would be looted and facilities burning.

I am still investigating the issues and ruminating over the implications. Shall tell once convinced.

We the boys celebrated the birthday of one of our own last night, and ate at a Macanese (Macau Portuguese, as opposed to the food-culture-less pure Portuguese fare :0) restaurant in Taipa village antoniomacau.com

We went to Macau by JetFoil, and could have returned by longest over-sea bridge but instead used our roundtrip tickets by boat. The Greater Bay Area (GBA) development initiative is shaping up to be just fantastic and kids who engage should do well.
