HK → UK → US → ?
I am glad that the people of Hong Kong have became more politically active since I left in 1990.

Now, if I were approached by a beatiful blonde woman with a iPod to “jack share”, things may be different 😉 Somehow I don’t see that happening in Manhattan but I will keep my fingers crossed and my eyes peeled…
