Local Tour – Why Not?
I had lunch with a French guy yesterday after a meeting with him in my office. He told me that he brought his daughters with him to visit the Shanghai Expo and then came to Hong Kong for a few meetings. During his stay in Hong Kong these few days, he has brought his daughters ...

本週潮語
民主黨創黨主席李柱銘表示，如果今晚民主黨大會通過區議會改良方案，他會考慮退黨。他說：「現在的民主黨，已經不是我所相識的民主黨。」England manager Fabio Capello refused to be critical of the individual performances of the likes of Wayne Rooney, Gerrard and Frank Lampard as the Three Lions flopped against Algeria. "It was not a good game," he continued. "We lost too many passes and I think this was not the team that I know, the team ...

世界一流嘅昂船州大橋
早兩個星期，昂船州大橋正式"開張"，急不及待馬上行一轉。本來同爹娘去灣仔試西裝，忽然改咗由屋企出發經青沙公路，行咗三條新隧道，走進昂船州大橋，直駛至機場Terminal 2食晏。條昂船州大橋真係好好行，路面平到你唔信。入緊機場方向時， 左面係大海，右面係貨櫃碼頭，好有空間感，感覺很好！行呢條新路，相比走城門隧道，大概慳15分鐘，15至20分鐘就由沙田的家到機場。香港係一個小城市，但我地嘅交通網絡係世界一流嘅！Brad's Cyberspace - The Official Web of Bradford Lee from Hong Kong (http://www.bradfordlee.com)
The "Successful" East Asian Games in Hong Kong
The East Asian Games in Hong Kong was said to be the most successful one in history. Is it really so? Did it bring a lot of values to Hong Kong? Did Hong Kong add a lot of values to it? Different people have different answers. Below are my wild guess for different groups.The Central ...
Unemployment in China
(QUOTED from Mingpao June 21, 2009)人力資源社會保障部早前曾指出，全國今年有610 萬名應屆大學畢業生，加上去年畢業而未能成功就業的畢業生100 萬人，總共有710 萬人。截至上月底， 大學生就業率僅為45％，有390.5 萬名大學生仍未找到工作。(UNQUOTE) This piece of news not only worries people in the mainland but if this trend continues and the development of Hong Kong continues to stagnate, it's a big headache for Hong Kong people too.Brad's Cyberspace - The Official Web of Bradford Lee from Hong ...
下籤再現
(Quoted from Appledaily on Jan 28, 2009) 一支車公廟下籤，為港人揭開己丑牛年的序幕。昨日是大年初二車公誕，行政會議新貴、新界鄉議局主席劉皇發按傳統為香港前景求籤。發叔拿籤筒搖呀搖，跌出第27籤下籤，解曰「內有家鬼，求財不遂」。玄學家解釋籤文預示官員不濟、政策一事無成。首次求得下籤的發叔說：「車公好靈 。」寄語港人要團結和諧。這是2003年後，香港再次求得下籤 。鄉紳政要再為香港的運程求得下籤，籤文解曰「內有家鬼」。政界人士及網民昨日紛紛議論誰是「政壇內鬼」。立法會議員李卓人認為，中聯辦、政治助理、副局長、民建聯皆為家鬼；他更充當政經預言家，預料農曆年過後，新一浪金融海嘯隨時在牛年湧至，極可能會出現新一輪大裁員潮。李卓人並預料5月過後，大批畢業生陸續到市場求職，失業率隨時會升至6%或以上 。行會新貴劉皇發昨為香港前景求得27籤下籤，在他身旁的沙田鄉委會當然委員蔡根培，92年原來也曾為沙田的前景求得同一支下籤。當時任沙田區議會主席的他見狀大驚，即場託人將籤燒掉，並再次求籤，結果求得一支上籤。其實，官員偶會求得下籤，但身邊的鄉紳都甚懂「執生」。84年，當時的沙田政務專員曾蔭權求得下籤，在場的鄉紳即說他「不夠誠心」，應「再接再厲」。結果曾蔭權「徇眾要求」下再度求籤，求得一支中籤。99年，時任民政事務總署副署長的呂孝端先為港人求得一中籤，身旁的呂太「補飛」，求得一支上籤，成功保住連續六年求得上籤的「佳績」。(UNQUOTE)My views:求籤同睇相有一個共通點，就係結果有好亦有差。我最怕搞呢D嘢，結果好就好囉，如果唔係，成年囉囉孿。不過，有時囉囉孿都有好處：例如我早幾日唔記得係邊度睇到話屬兔的今年揸車要小心，我呢幾日當堂小心咗，以防好嘅唔靈醜嘅靈。哈哈！其實特首＂微服出巡＂到各區探訪家庭前，D官員梗會幫該家庭攪靚佢粉飾太平。點解無人幫發叔準備一桶全上上籤呢？咁咪大家開心囉！大家都係想有D心靈安慰姐!Brad's Cyberspace - The Official Web of Bradford Lee from Hong Kong (http://www.bradfordlee.com)
Poor Memory
I really have a poor memory. Just read from Mingpao that typhoon signal #9 was hoisted in Hong Kong back in 2003 (year of the SARS!).(QUOTE from mpinews.com Aug 22, 2008)天文台表示，颱風鸚鵡的中心將會橫過本港，若路徑不變，將直接吹襲香港，可能發出十號颶風信號。本港對上一次發出9號信號，是在2003年9月2日，當時颱風杜鵑襲港。(UNQUOTE)Brad's Cyberspace - The Official Web of Bradford Lee from Hong Kong (http://www.bradfordlee.com)

My colleague Winnie and I attended the launch event of Google Maps Hong Kong this Tuesday in the IFC.
