Happy 2K8 everybody! I came back from my HK vacation with my mom on January 1st and I must say it has been one of the best vacation that I have had for a while. First of all, I was able to travel around HK like I did in SF with the MTR. In addition, I was able to enjoy many great food with thanks given to my Uncle Danny and his family( They were definitely a great host).
Besides the vacation, I was able to take note of some observation on this most capitalistic city of China and I must say it is not easy to live as a Hong Kong resident. When I was there, I noticed that the power supply for the Hong Kong Island is controlled by Cheung Kong which is controlled by Lee Kah Shing and his family. In addition, the Lee family also controls the Park'N'Shop chain grocery store in Hong Kong through their Watsons group. In other words, I had a feeling that they control a lot of the major necessities of the people of Hong Kong. I am not sure if this is a good thing but this truly reflects that "Capital is King" in modern market economies.
