In A Perfect Hong Kong World
In a perfect Hong Kong world: 1. You would be able to see the stars more nights. (After being away 2 weeks we can smell the difference in the air when we exit the airport. Sad, cos otherwise we were … Continue reading
The Price of Nesting
A picture says a thousand words… Those are in square feet and HKD dollars… Kings and I were in the banking industry for a bit over 10 years. While we didn’t make the obscene amounts everyone reads about other bankers … Continue reading
Frailty Thy Name Is Woman. Not.
It’s Election Day Eve in Aussieland, an added bonus to a West Wing enthusiast who has been turning up the radio/ tv when the attack ads from both Liberal and Labor parties come on. (Though it might all be over … Continue reading
