Oh, I wouldn't know, Ric ! I'm not from Hong Kong and have only worked
there a couple times, server deployments, that kind of thing. I'm from
Singapore (This is Chong, not Chang ! I get so riled up when people
mistake me for him -- all Chinese look alike, eh?). If Mike Andrew was
still on this list, he'd tell you a few choice tidbits about my country,
like the ban on chewing gum and my yellow submarine and how I am a
stooge of the totalitarian state, blah, blah, blah...

HOWEVER, I am very impressed that you can hold the chopsticks so well.
Takes a lot of patience to learn, and it is useful for teaching children
the value of discipline. 

You may want to get the tramp steamer to drop you off in Singapore,
though. Not much chance for formatting floppies, but writing trash is
always good, and the women are easy (see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarong_party_girl ). Well, there goes my
hope for party membership!
