Update Chinese Info on IBC board

Someone asked for info on how to obtain the Chinese Channel, I posted the info I sent the person who asked about it. It's a step in the right direction, but I have added it to IBC message forum for this topic. If anyone has more info, please feel free to update the forum. Thanks.

Mid-Autumn Festival is nearly upon us

Yup, it starts on Thur Sept 11 2003. I wish I was in HK, see what event they have on! Find out about the legend of the moon festival (and mooncake recipes)

Although my experiences of mid-autumn festival is not much, I do get to eat the occasional mooncake at home. I remember mom buying us the plastic lanterns that are in the shape of a lotus flower when we were really young. We use to see if we can catch the glimpse of the full moon (yes in Limerick!). But there is not usuall y anything fancy about it. I remember looking at many pictures of hanging lanterns, and many, many flowers, with family enjoying themselves on a evening out together. Then when we got the Chinese Channel, we saw clips of people enjoying themselves, making me even more jealous. Eveyone is happy, but so was I. I was tih family, that is what matter most.

HK's care for environment

Well, awareness to people, especially to young people. HK gov site - Students awarded for designing creative logos on "Live Hygiene Live Health"
Since my family has always resided in Tai Po, I went to the official page and found some proud pics and one not so proud pic. But that river is kept immaculate, albeit a bit pongy sometimes, but it's clear. Wonder if my BF remembers walking over the footbridge? HK is getting cleaner and cleaner.
