HK's strato-fantasia at the Harbour

Look at all the events happening in HK!
Saw the Strato-Fantasia on yesterday on TVB direct news feed on TVB-Europe. Looks much better then the little annoying gif that is on the page. Looks huge as well. My bro is in HK, maybe he gets a chance to check it out.

Follow-on from my last blog about Izzue

BigWhiteGuy.com latest posting shows the anger and relief of some people from this incident. (BWG - The End of the Izzue) I am glad that the people of that company see how ludicrous the way they were promoting their theme for their new line of clothes.

This izzue fiasco

BigWhiteGuy.com has been blogging about the utter bad taste of an ad compaign of the clothes chain store Izzue in HK (their website - http://www.izzue.com is down). BWG's latest posting was just as hot-tempered. bwg - We Are Not Disposable
But I also google news-searched for articles relating to this, and has found that the manager has been taken a little out of context by BWG... news.com.au - Nazi-themed fashion line dropped. I hope that other shops who decides on something similar do a bit more research and avoid all this atrocity.

Limerick not racist as one thinks

Ho-hum... I'm happy that Limerick are not as racist as I thought it was, considering that there has been a rise of verbal abuse in the past couple of years. But I am glad to hear the following news from Limerick Leader - August 2nd, 2003 - News - Racists quit.

HK kids under so much pressure

From my previous blog "We have it easy over here" on less stress from eduacation in the west compared to Far East, more to the fact, HK as that is the only closest experience I hear about from my friends and relatives. Even BigWhiteGuy.com's blog - Under Pressure. My cousins are off on their summer holidays now, but they have plenty of summer school work to do before their term starts again. This will not change anytime soo, there are so many students, so few places in schools, colleges. And then there are so few jobs out there in HK as well. Let's hope the future is brighter in the years to come.
