Decision point: presuming the worst [there's no In-between here] WILL? all those biznessmen in penthouses in or ex-HK, decide-via-$$: to encourage HKer cohorts to relocate awy from the biggest National-Communist bastion in the current world. Another $$$ ? -or- Doing-goodness, tip the Scales? Certainly looks as if The World™ just may have sufficient Chops-in-'19 to tamp down Chi et al from becoming Stalin II (also too.) He's a full-Kapitalist Diktator, obviously ..just like in DJT's Very-wet-dream. So this may be a Rorschach Test ... overseen by Billions, eh? Carriion.. sometimes it's _____???

Viking stalled us by taking is to a conference room at the airport Marriott until almost lunch time before taking us to the ship. They needed time to disembark prior passengers and clean the cabins. The only thing a bit strange was at the HK airport is being told to push my Tilley hat off my head. I guess the many cameras needed clear access to the face. The city bus tour on Saturday was uneventful other that some midday rush hour traffic. Turns out the locals work 5 1/2 days a week! Then, off to Xiamen and other Chinese cities. Also, a couple Japanese islands along the way. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.
