Same in Hong Kong. Private hospitals do have emergency rooms, but no NICU wards - every premature birth goes to a public hospital, no bankrupting new parents - and few high capex items like gamma knife. Sometimes you do have to queue up behind a prisoner because they get the same care as all of us!

The post misleads. The article claims
13% either sold or knew someone who had. Not good either way, but not the same thing.

Agree about the connected wrists. It was a detail I noticed and liked in the original one.

It was worth doing and I’ve wondered the same thing. Validated some of my prior assumptions about this asset class.

The very rough answer seems be that Bored Ape NFT’s peaked in late 2021 and early 2022 in the $150K to $250k range
(say 50 to 90 ETH). And the latest transactions on opensea.io are in the 6 to 7 ETH range, around $12K to $14K. Not an expert, just playing with available data.

As I recall his comedy skills came from having to do hours of patter as a footpath banjo player at Six Flags. So maybe banjoist first, actor second, comedian third?

Also if you accept the word gweilo you are buying into the idea that othering us is OK as long as you are nice about it. Just saying.

Sorry you feel attacked, not my intention 😔. I have a lovely faux-silk tunic I bought for a costume party that got cancelled during Covid and never have worn it

There may be a difference between how much you and I identify with the online HK diaspora (not even sure what’s left or right anymore). Some folks say things that resonate with me, others not so much, and others get muted and probably ought to get blocked

Sure, haters are going to hate. And people ask me where I’m from or “other” me. If someone asks if you grew up here, just smile and say “lots of HKers weren’t born here”. Not trying to dismiss what if feels like to have someone tell you to GTF home but I don’t feel it’s the majority view here

It’s up to you. Personally I think there’s some borderline cosplay where I wouldn’t want to dress up as a Chinese person. But I don’t think it’s blood and soil because it doesn’t relate to your ability to belong to (or claim) this city.

Because almost everyone in this town is from somewhere else. There may be a bit of a hierarchy (ie people from Guangdong maybe less friction) but if you own your belonging here people usually accept it.

In my experience once you start walking into shops and restaurants and speaking Cantonese and nobody says “wow your Chinese is
so good” you are basically there. Being able to belt out something like 海闊天空 at karaoke helps too

I remember getting them at Uny or Aeon in Taikoo Shing. Something like 台灣紅色芭樂. And yeah I consider myself 香港人. Try the fruit market, esp. when in season. Market gets crowded, and prepare for sticker shock — deals aren’t plentiful (low prices often for low quality) but you can haggle a bit.

I feel like the red ones taste slightly soapy. Not a fan. White ones fine, the DF equivalent of a gala apple. Pricey yellow ones with the translucent flesh sublime. But red I’ll take a pass.

There’s precedent for this in TRIA which plugged a real and real economically damaging gap in terrorism and war risk insurance. No doubt post-hoc paying to fix what has been broken, but the beneficiaries are not only private companies but anyone with a
