    I was in the hippodrome casino in soho on tuesday,the vast majority inside were orientals and asians,i even saw 2 filipinas,but most of the orientals were chinese,they would gamble on raindrops running down a windowpane,i remember pinas not being atbthe top of the chinese must-go destinations after the manila bus siege when the Hong Kong tourists were killed.



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Yep. Chinese folks love to 'gamble'
    When I lived in China I remember my group making bets on whether or not I would eat Toad.

    I lost. I had a confidence I could eat almost anything but watching the preparations and cooking I backed down at the last minute.

    I enjoyed my time there, despite finding it very difficult to find foods I could really feel comfortable.

    I would have placed a side bet and eaten the toad yup,when i was in hong kong i would often go across to macau,the casino destination of choice for most HK chinese hardcore gamblers.I crossed the border from thailand into cambodia last year through poipet,theres a no-mans land containing casinos,it was packed,mainly thai and viet but lots of chinese,they travel to gamble.

    Who owns three casinos and thus rakes in the extra profits? One of the big families I guess?

    Since DU30`s visit to China,the Chinks have removed the R.P from the advisory caution list!! Great news.
    Even before then,most of our customers have been Chinese tourists..They seem to be coming to our little island every month in larger numbers ever since.. I`m now looking frantically on the Web for authentic Chinese noodle recipes.

    BEIJING, China – China lifted its travel advisory cautioning its citizens traveling to the Philippines in a bid to improve bilateral ties between the two countries.
    “President Xi Jinping has announced that China will lift the travel advices issued a few years ago to Chinese citizens traveling to the Philippines,” said Vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhien Min during a press conference on Thursday, October 20.
