Christmas wish list from the Web Wide World
The Humanist Hong Kong forum gathered couple of interesting comments about his wish list .
Wish list from South Korea:
From an environmental perspective this sounds very familiar.
Stick Korea on the list too please Santa.
The ‘western style culture halls’ are a particular menace to Asian culture in these parts…
I think car size according to requirement, not social status could be included, along with greener fuel being available and more incentives not to drive in the cities at all (London-style congestion charges please).
Most of the environmental points could be applied to most big cities I guess - especially here in Korea, where many have little greenery at all
- outside the mountains and palace gardens.Rain
PS Street stalls are considered undesirable in Korea too, which forces the government to hire thugs to smash them up and beat up their owners.
It would be nice if this practice were ended for Christmas.
The difference between busking in Hong Kong and Canada:
In Toronto, they actually screen buskers before they are allowed to busk, ie they are given a license. so around the subways you have superb musicians doing their stuff.
In hongkong, buskers are considered to be beggars and in fact most of them are beggars and use an instrument to get attention.
