one line opinions.....

We're skiing in Hokkaido over Xmas... and shopping in Tokyo over New Year's ... such is the way of HK'ians... Every time there is a break, they fly away... maybe it's the distances... it's like going to BC to ski or the Caribbean to scuba........ for Canadians ...

I have been to Bali 3 times, Perth and Sydney, Oz to visit sister in Oct....., Phuket, Singapore, Beijing, etc, but usually for a long weekend or a week at a resort type thing; however, was in oz for 3 weeks ......

Phuket, Thailand's Bali; Bali, the Asian world's playground with dishonest indigenes; Singapore, the chilly crab is not hot/chilly, but sweet...lol...; and Beijing, the people are rude and crude...; Macau & Hong Kong have not changed much except for the infrastructure; how's that for a synopsis.....

Perth is like San Diego without the class and Calgary 20 years ago...... Sydney is like Toronto 20 years ago, they even call the Tranga Zoo the Taranta Zoo....lol.....

HK has no real christmas to speak off, all the expats and well to do locals fly away... today is the bigger day, being the winter solstice, where all chinese families have a dinner together....

if every picture tells a story, then this is a one liner on what it's like at christmas in HK.... so have a happy holiday season, one and all......
