Virtuous Victorian Values may be adopted and used anywhere, even if the originators long ago gave up on them for one reason or other: < hk is the only place on the planet practicing the god-given british common law as it was given and of a much more pure form than that managed out of london > The results are easily evident. It's not just common law either, but common sense. Having no natural resources is a good thing. It forces people in Hong Kong to live by doing useful things for other people. Mqurice

Anyone who doubts the future is China's is living a dream world. My parents started visiting HK in the late fifties and continued to do so until they were too old to travel. They would also stop in at Japan. I was the lucky recipient of all the Japanese gizmos when they returned. I mention Japan because the rank and file thought that was the place. As long as I can remember my father said if he were a young man he would seek his fortune in China, decades before it became the fashionable thing to say. He almost was successful in bringing home a beautiful Chinese woman, Lydia, to be my nanny. Sure wish that would have worked out. You can see how much I was hoping she would make it. I still remember her name. Jack and the Coconut are truly blessed children. They are being raised by cosmopolitan parents who are instilling them with great and proper character. They will meet their future totally prepared to flourish in it.
