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!
