Snippet from 2005

Busy day today, so I'll just pull a snippet from an old letter:


And to wind up, I'll just tell you a little typical-HK Gem 
that occurred last night.  Coming home from dinner we passed 
XXX (edit that one out) outlet of HK Jockey Club (HK's version of 
TAB). Big drama. Fire alarms ringing, smoke coming out of 
the building, fire truck, firemen ...
 
... and there, just inside the front door are about 100 
punters all huddled in a bunch watching the horserace on TV. 
 
Sure, they're evacuating the building but not until the race 
is over. 
  
And - get this! - the firemen are standing there, firehoses 
in-hand but not turned on, watching with them. 
 
Doesn't this say everything about HK! Don't you just LOVE it!
