Default Practice Bid Three

Remember when your dad went away on a trip, and you found yourself wondering what he would bring back for you?

I kinda feel like that today.

I think he might be bringing you a piece of crap T-shirt wrapped in some pretty paper with a big red bow.

I'm not even so sure the crap is on a t-shirt. It's form is just a big smeary lump that says "Love, Dave & Co."

More like "My employer and my Union went to Hong Kong, and all I got was this crappy T-shirt."

My Union went on a Hong Kong vacation with my union dues, and all I got was this crappy T-shirt.

Just read B Cosner's Hong Kong trip report: housing=super expensive, Super small, NO car, cost of living super high, education expensive/limited, Pollution terrible. Ok there's neat stuff to do.
He did not mention racism. You will be a minority and "unloved"
Bad deal for all.

Paris at narrow body pay - devaluating dollar= loser2

Agree w/most that you've posted regarding HKG....not gonna buy the "racism" and "unloved" part though.

There are plenty of great, friendly locals and ex-pats in most parts of Asia...and it is an interesting place to live for a few years, just not under this LOA compensation package.
