[tet68]

I was in Hong Kong in "67" on R&R.
What a great city!
Home of the most, MOST beautiful women in the world!
The Star ferry, the Peak, man I sure wish I could go back.
Never made it to a floating resturant though, I heard
that was an experience never forgotten.
Went to a Memorial to British Dead in WW II. there .
God Bless.

I've been told the floating restaurant has since declined in quality, but otherwise I largely agree - what I enjoyed about it was its energy. You feel there, as if all the forces of bureaucracy and legislation aren't acting against you - that indeed, dreams are possible with sufficent application.

Hong Kong also is an elegant counterpoint to everything the leftists believe. It is too bad that it has fallen into the hands of the Communists. I would rather Britain had pointed a nuke at Beijing than give it up.
