You have not lived

Until you have done this...

With your China Girl.

 

How many here have made love on the rooftops of buildings in Hong Kong, before 1997, and before the British were kicked out....

 

Just asking.

 

Ever been to the APPLE disco in Hong Kong, years ago?

 

Any other interesting memories about HK before the commies marched in?

 

Doing it on the rooftops of HK is pretty exciting.

 

All those lights around and above you....

 

You know that someone is watching....

 

BUT....

 

Who cares!

No. 

 

I'd much rather be doing it at night on a rooftop in HK. 

 

Or in a small boat in the HK harbor. 

 

Ever read James Clavel while floating in the South China Sea?

You might think Thailand is exciting. 

 

Thailand is BORING compared to HK years ago. 

 

I feel sorry for you.

The British were not actually kicked out of Hong Kong , they leased the land from China and the lease  expired

Pre-1980 was better. 

 

No more flights to pre-commie HK, anymore... alas. 

 

That chapter of history is now so sadly closed. 

 

RIP

You seem to be such an apt student of history... 

 

Congrats! 

 

But, were you there?

No. 

 

You are WRONG about a lease on HK expiring. 

 

But why should I correct your misunderstanding of this fine point concerning HK?

I wasn't there no .

I once bought a flight from Philippines to Hong Kong in about 1990 , I went out for a drink the night before , got slaughtered , missed the flight and didn't ever end up going to Hong Kong 

Stop replying to that troll

You cannot correct me, because what I stated is true

Are you smart enough to understand the meaning of CEDED IN PERPETUITY?

YES!

 

Correct.  And I think you are thinking of Chungking Mansions.

Plenty of great Indian food in that great monstrosity of a building.

 

But the most interesting thing about that building is the film....CHUNGKING EXPRESS.....

Everywhere is boring compared to everywhere years ago. Along with ageing and nostalgia, the world in general has also become less fun, less free and horribly left/right wing. 
 

And, no, the Brits weren’t booted out as you well know. Lease expired on surrounding territories. Despite your obvious disdain for the British, it was them being there that made Hong Kong such a fun, eclectic place, while your beloved China was in proper Orwellian mode.

If not booted out, then why was Chris, Chancellor of U. Oxford, Crying?

I never wished the British to leave.

They should NOT have left.

HK was ceded to England, where it should have remained, forever.

And now, after the British have left Hong Kong...

HK has turned into even more of an Animal Farm than it ever was.

The British should have installed a desalination plant on HK.

HK could have been sustained, easily, for perpetuity, according to the original agreement.

There was no need to leave.

 

Maybe they were just too worried about potable water and vegetables from the Mainland.

 

If only the British had had a bit of backbone, in 1997,  we would still be there, today.

 

What a mistake to leave.

Yes.

A real rat trap.

I have been in that building MANY times.

The Indian food is vindaliciious 

 

 

Total rat trap, however.

And it stinks to high heaven, too, of spices and sweat.

And also stinks of too much humanity.
