checkmate, If I am not mistaken, cdntrader was joking and pulling my leg. I'm not so sure about your comment since you've got a new acronym and I don't know you.

Def I have just been touring SE Asia and came back from HK a few weeks ago. Cor! The price you guys pay for a beer ranks up there with Sweden (let alone property prices!) - I hope the low income tax makes up for it! The US navy were in town when I was there. There were chalk signs outside of certain establishments in Wan Chai along the lines of "Susy Wong welcomes all US naval personnel!". Which I thought was highly amusing! Then there are those great female fashion outlets, Wanko... Amazing city though - great views from Route 66 at the top of the Hopewell Centre.
