Old China Bland (香港)

Is there a chance the track could bend?

I’m sorry, I can’t get over this. How is your first response coming right out of the Olympics ‘our team sucked because those losers aren’t actually really Chinese’

Yup. Lots of $$$ in HK, so plenty of sports cars and fancy watches. But nothing has the kind of clout that comes with controlling access to spots in the top kindergartens.

Who was this guy? Is he in HK or did he skip town?

the bravest people in WW2 were those who hid others. there's a verse in Cohen's "The Partisan" that goes

"An old woman gave us shelter
Kept us hidden in the garret
Then the soldiers came
She died without a whisper"

The AVG mythmaking on both sides of the Pacific is quite fascinating. I was talking with a Chinese-Canadian coworker and he knew the whole popular story of the Flying Tigers by heart from his Chinese schooling. I asked about Soviet air assistance and he'd never heard of it. Wasn't in the curriculum.

This means that I drop by your office building on a regular basis. Plus it has a tram stop.

The event mentioned on the photo is joint Chinese+Korean+Vietnamese, so calling it "Chinese" instead of "Lunar" is "cultural appropriation" instead, but this of course doesn't bother a person who must consider themselves very patriotic towards official China.

Just saw a white guy in Admiralty getting angry at a tiny station lady because she was pointing him towards the lift (he was trying to take his bike on the escalator).

"STOP. POINTING."

It's been a while since we executed a royal. That's still allowed, right? Otherwise why do we keep them

Mainland police are putting pressue on Chinese delivery riders working overseas in Sydney, including targeting their parents still in the Mainland, warning them to stop protesting in Australia for better pay and work conditions or face arrests upon returning to China.

The lidless stare of that which haunts the trail

yes due to popcorn shortage

be on the lookout at your local cinema

Visiting the Urban Council Carpark is always a treat. 1978 Mercedes and a Panther!

You know, your whole life people tell you that money can’t buy happiness, respect, or cool.

And you kinda roll your eyes.

…then you see Elon Musk.
