Date: Tue, 15 Sep 1992 02:36:09 GMT

Folks,
	I suppose people haven't got much to do nowadays. The Hong Kong
Students' Assoc. in Melbourne University will hold its Beauty Pageant in
the coming weeks. Apparently, it has stirred up heaps of protests from
feminists group in that Uni and they are vowed to close down the contest
and also to disband the assoc.
	The top prize is a return ticket to Hong Kong from Melbourne. The
most interesting thing is that they've got Swire Group as their sponsor.
I just wonder if Swire endorses these activities?

	Anyone interested?

There is nothing wrong with all of that of course. But what does the guy 
with a pony tail and an ear ring really want to tell others with his
appearance? Is he making himself a easy target for other interested gay men? A
guy can be very different in a million ways, why chooses to appear like a
woman? If he goes to a party with a lot of people with pony tails and ear
rings, is he going to try to be more different by wearing a skirt and some make
up? How far do you need to go to be different? 

And why do you need to be different? Aren't we different already? We all have
different faces, eyes, hair color already, do we need one more difference :)

They are talking about any form of "catty". It is true that people from
mainland are using 10 teals=1 catty. The catty, (has to be verified),
should be a kilogram to them. In order words, they are using metric
units but just different terminologies.

Hi, I got a few questions, hope someone can help me out.

1a)  Since Super Nintendo (w/o any game) now just cost $99.99 compared to 
$145 before summer in US, how much is it in Hong Kong now?

1b)  Can a SEGA Genesis game bought in US be played in a PAL system SEGA 
machine bought in HK?  Likewise, how about the Super Nintendo or Famicom?

1c)  I heard there are some 4 in 1 games sold in HK, are those really good
ones or just one good and 3 stupid ones?  How much roughly?

2)   For someone active in Toronto, is Sam Hui going to have a concert in 
Toronto?  Where? When? How much?

Please reply by e-mail.  (You all are bright enough to find the command for

	The taxi drivers, especially those come from mainland, are much worse
	than five years ago.  Nowadays, taxi drivers don't give exact change
	to you any more; they just charge you tips if you don't pay exact
	fee.

	People are greedier.  A lot of netters have already mentioned how
	the youngsters become more materialistic and big-spender-like than
	their previous generation.  I won't repeat in here.

	However, this does not necessarily make life difficult for those
	"honest" citizens.  Very likely the stupid guys only suffer the worst. 

	I think Hong Kong is still a better place than many other city in
	terms of living standard and friendliness.  We have cheap medication
	service and food.  The streets are fairly well cleaned up (in most of
	the places.)   I can't prove it to you that Hong Kong people are
	friendly in general; but the students from Hong Kong in my school are
	quite friendly.

Concerning about measurements, I think US is the worst.  No one wants
to change.  People do not want to conform to the international
standard.  People wants to have freedom in everything.  That makes
engineering courses in school to have weird units like slug, pound
force ...  Even Britian doesn't use the imperial system anymore and
virtually everywhere else in the world has been using SI unit.

I heard that John Woo's latest epic HARD-BOILED is playing up in San Francisco
Chinatown at The World Theater, 644 Broadway Street.  Can anyone confirm or
deny this?  Was there a review in any of the S.F. papers? ... I'm heading up
to the city this weekend to check it out.  The box office telephone message
(which was all in chinese) mentioned Chow Yun Fat's and Tony Leung's name
... which were a good sign (their telephone number is 415 391-1393).

I saw a fairly fuzzy version on video and I must admit that this film is a
MUST SEE for John Woo fans in the Bay Area (or anywhere).  I think they used
ten-zillion bullets in this one.  This film (like THE KILLER) looks like it
should be seen on the big screen to justify its artistic film-making style.
