Hong Kong Continues To Flourish

Hong Kong continues to flourish in the worldwide travel scene, as part of its special relationship with China.

When the Beijing 2008 Olympics realized that Mao had not been focused historically on equestrian emphases, and that Hong Kong, with its sinful colonialism, had a world class Jockey Club legacy, it was determined, wisely, that Hong Kong would be the site of the 2008 Olympics equestrian events.  This was a smart decision.

When Hong Kong, ever the attentive Chinese merchant, determined that its prices were a little high for 2008, the movers and shakers decided that all major hotel taxes should be eliminated.  Another smart decision, making Hong Kong affordable for some 28 million people who choose to go there this year.

I took some time today and had some pleasure in updating my own extensive Hong Kong writing/photo article at

I learned these matters recently in San Francisco while talking to some Hong Kong Folks at a restaurant known as Yank Sing, in the lovely restored art deco Rincon Center at 101 Spear Street.  Some at my table insisted that this was the finest Chinese restaurant in The City, and when the ninth course in the festive Chinese New Year dinner arrived, which was a tasty Beijing duck, I was not prepared to argue.
