DJ, <<work-free/holidays fall on weekends in 2004>> ... major bummer! In my case: Holidays January 1st (Thu) Vacation January 13-25 (Tue-Sun) Holidays: - April 5 Mon - April 9-12 Fri-Mon - May 1-7 Sat-Fri - China shutdown - May 26 Wed - June 22 Tue - July 1 Thu - Sept 29 Wed - Oct 1-7 Fri-Thu China shutdown - Oct 22 Fri - Dec 27 Mon - 29 days plus all 52 pairs of Saturdays and Sundays, totaling to 133 days, 36% of the year ! Throw in the rest of January through May for SARS, and gad, a summer vacation and a Christmas trip, I can lead the Trinidad life style in Hong Kong ;0/ It would be better still if I was on someone's payroll :0( What is my favorite three letter combination in the world? Oh, yes, 'NEM' :0) Now perhaps you can see why I am so very suspicious of the sustainability of the Chung Hom Kok Beach Bum Economy, that variation of the CNBC Housing Economy. Have a healthy and prosperous 2004, Jay
