Hong Kong on Christmas Eve is worth visiting at least once. The lights
are unequalled, the hordes of young women in mini-skirted Santa suits are amazingly cute . . . and if you've had enough
to drink you can forget for a while that it's all dedicated to the
God of Money. Update: Beijing has declared Christmas lights to be a form of meddling in China's internal affairs. ;-) |

The world looks a little different from Victoria Peak. Get up out of the neon fever, and you see that--surprise, surprise! all around you is one of the most beautiful spots on earth. | |
| One of the best meals I've ever eaten was in this Vietnamese-style sidewalk cafe in Causeway Bay. The cook (at left in the photo) dumps a bunch of rice and chicken in a clay pot and blasts it with a gas burner . . . giving you plenty of time to sip beer and work up an appetite. Finally, the dish is delivered red-hot from the stove. |
