Ah your referring to the airport in Toyko where they built the airport in the middle of the bay. You'll find that Chep Lap Kok is built partly on reclaimed land and an existing island, like most of Hong Kong, and isn't sinking, and as for political views, democracy is alive and well. While we were over there, Chris Patten, the last Governer, was speaking at the local university and was quite openly having a go at China on HK TV. He stated quite confidentlay that he expects HK will be fully democratic from China in the next 20-30 years. The Chinese dare not mess with HK now as they know it works, and if it aint broke, dont fix it.

So come on Keith tell me more about glorious Singapore, I wanna go there one day... :lol:

I lived in Singers in the early nineties for a couple of years. grew to hate it eventually. Too many rules, and the people are so very 'asian'. Most all of them have some overinflated idea of their self importance, drummed into them by the governments idea of a 'A Tropical City of Excellence in Asia', or whatever the catchy little ditty was back then.

After I left my job and started working offshore I returned a few times a year, and started liking itn again, but only in small doses.

It's too squeeky clean and souless, totally dedicated to making money, for me to develop any great love for the place. If I were well and truly rich, like REAL big bikkies, I could maybe see me having a house there, for visits, but not to live permanently.

As for having political views? No problem, as long as they are just the same as the governments. Unlimited arrest, without trial, for anybody thought to be plotting or preaching against the government. :huh: :unsure:
