Driving lesson by Kim Dotcom

As reported before there will be a scheme allowing mainland drivers to cruise into Hong Kong with their cars very soon. Almost everybody here in Hong Kong has some "objections"against this scheme because generally chinese driving is nuts, reckless & super dangerous. See a clip here from our good friend Kim Dotcom - this are good drivers, but dont show this to any mainlander - we must be afraid they try to COPY that. Enjoy that drive here:
And just as we all like the speed & nice cars here another one for you to enjoy:

Women`s World Cup Final Game ( Japan vs. USA ) Penalty Shootout

Even this has nothing to do with HK or the mainland, somehow it is really touching to see the Japanese woman football team become the winner of this year world cup - just see the penalty shooting and you will know what I mean:

Mail from Gaddafi daughter.........?

Believe it or not - I have received an email from Gaddafi's daughter. Her name is Aisha & she has a "hug amount of money" which needs my assistance to transfer from somewhere to another place. With "hug" I guess she means "huge".
But actually I guess this is just some kind of new spam / set-up like all the others well known coming from some african countries. Not very much related to anything with China - but it will not take long time & we will have similar coming from China - Cheers. Here the original wording from this email:

CHINA STATISTICS FROM THE ECONOMIST

Please read yourself - this is from the ECONOMIST

Comparing Chinese provinces with countries

All the parities in China

Which countries match the GDP, population and exports of Chinese provinces?

China is now the world’s second-biggest economy, but some of its provinces by themselves would rank fairly high in the global league. Our map shows the nearest equivalent country. For example, Guangdong's GDP (at market exchange rates) is almost as big as Indonesia's; the output of both Jiangsu and Shandong exceeds Switzerland’s. Some provinces may exaggerate their output: the sum of their reported GDPs is 10% higher than the national total. But over time the latter has consistently been revised up, suggesting that any overstatement is modest.
What about other economic yardsticks? Guangdong exports as much as South Korea, Jiangsu as much as Taiwan. Shanghai’s GDP per person is as high as Saudi Arabia’s (at purchasing-power parity), though still well below that in China’s special administrative regions, Hong Kong and Macau. At the other extreme, the poorest province, Guizhou, has an income per head close to that of India. Note that these figures use the same PPP conversion rate for the whole of China, but prices are likely to be lower in poorer provinces than in richer ones, slightly reducing regional inequality.
Correction, February 25th: The original figure given for Hong Kong's exports included re-exports. This has been changed to refer to domestic exports only.

Song for the weekend

As promised here your song for the weekend. Everybody worldwide was watching / looking at the sad & terrible things happend in Japan. This is a cover version of KRAFTWERK Radioactivity

Slow posting - sorry !

Dear readers,

very busy here - sorry for slow posting.

Some interesting things - just to touch shortly:

No news about Ai Wei Wei whereabouts.

Hong Kong will protect against mainland woman want to give birth here & crack down on so-called agents doing the business with whatever kind of fake dates etc. But private hospitals are still sacking in. The more the restrictions on the public hospitals the better the business for the private ones. Do not forget ASIAS WORLD CITY is the most greediest in the world !

Property prices still rising like crazy - same flat 14 month ago offered to me at HKD 5.1 Mio is now on the market foe HKD 7.2 Mio - is this luxury housing ? No ! If the neighbour takes his shower or the guy upstairs you can still hear that rushing sound - so this is worth HKD 7.2 Mio - llets have some serious doubts on this.

Have a nice weekend & let me see if I can find a nice song for you.
