An accessible world class harbourfront for resting and leisure - if you were a Honda (sorry, Lexus)

I would like to think they are doing this deliberately, for this at least implies intellgence, albeit in the wrong place. Unlike criminal masterminds who are usually geniuses, this is probably more like a case of a dunce with his fingers in his ears shouting 'lalalalalala...'.

Goodbye the Queen, Edinburgh and the Star

From Conservacy Association:

The Modern history of Hong Kong began at the waterfront. Queen’s Pier and Star Ferry Pier in Central, witnessing nearly half a century of local history, will disappear in the summer 2006. These two piers have given the people of Hong Kong great places for fishing, boarding pleasure boats, dating, taking wedding photos and have became part of Hong Kong’s daily life. Queen’s Pier was the goal of cross-harbor swim and a favorite meeting spot for protestors. Star Ferry is the cheapest way of crossing the harbor and was hailed as “50 places of a lifetime” by the National Geographic Traveler Magazine.



The two piers have deeper links with the local history: Queen’s Pier was the place for inauguration and welfare ceremonies of governors since Cecil Clementi. (The pier where Clementi landed was completed in 1925, the current pier was completed in 1953); The Stary Ferry fare hike of five cents triggered the “Kowloon Disturbances,” this year marks the 40th year since the event.

Tamar is obviously the topical issue

Has anyone noticed that recent articles on Government's 'On The Record' series, where 'Senior HK Government officials speak on topical issues', that 3 out of the last 6 are on Tamar?

I guess it must be the topical issue, even TIME magazine is on the act.
