In Taiwan you can vote for the opposition.

Memory from Article 23 march in 2003: bus of Mainland tourists passing Victoria Park, with excited chubby middle-aged woman banging on window and applauding the massed protesters.

Can still picture her.
Genuinely curious: how does urging a boycott of an election threated national security?
Will the rest of you please pretend our tightly managed, opposition-free election is important...
A district mourns.

Since 2008, one of life’s little pleasures for residents of HK Island West Constituency every four years has been seeing Reg in person canvassing near the Mid-Levels Escalator. And saying “No, I’m not voting for you.”
Such hypersensitivity about a tightly managed election few will pay any attention to, let alone try to 'disrupt'. Maybe the aim is to stir up some interest...
Festive greetings to all who celebrate!

Reg celebrates with tasteful faux Devanagari script, plus a rather fetching bindi. Complementary papadams for the first reader to ID the restaurant.

The search for new hubs continues...
(That's China Hong Kong City. Or City Hong China Kong. Or something.)
Businesses at Hong Kong China City, TST extend a warm welcome to all visitors arriving at the ferry terminal…
Chungking Mansions breakfast...
Should that be 'ensure'?
Did Beijing drop atom bombs on Japan?
Does Reg post her own tweets, or does she have an assistant to do the techie stuff? You be the judge...
Separated at birth? Left: Thai crown jewels; right: Donald Trump's tasteful Cabinet Room adornments...
"They do something like it in other countries, so it's OK"...
Henceforth to be known as the Gale Terribly Group...
I know the answer! Feel free to park on sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, in the middle of the road, or any place you damn well please. You are among the small minority of Hongkongers who drive a car, and the other 90% can go f**k themselves.
