Visiting Hong Kong as often as I have however has since

My envy knows no bounds. That place sounds wondrous, like a real-life Treasure Town.

You didn't happen to see two kids jump-flying above the city, did you?

No, but we did meet a ludicrously perky pet store/spa owner that chattered happily like a californian, looked like a tanned cute asian american, but nevertheless had a slight chinese-british accent, who attended to us while cooing after the store's free roaming puppy. Ducking into a gallery exhibiting Yoshitaka Amano's recent wall size automotive-paint-on-aluminium paintings of G-force team members we talked to a slightly defensive frenchman who recently was nearly arrested for being complicit in the vandalism of hong kong's equivalent of the Parliament building (he was 'sponsoring', ie probably sleeping with the grafitti artist at the time). A restaurant there was waitered entirely by irrepressible retired high level executive bankers.

All in all pretty damn characterful, that place.
