Clearing the air...me HKSAR government!? What!?
On my recent trip back to Hong Kong, the air smells like shxt, and my immune system declared war on myself because of all the dirty crap I kept pulling in every time I breathe.

I guess there are no excuses for the HKSAR government...with the near-monopoly on power generation in HK, they are just hopeless...53% of the pollution are from HK itself! Don't blame China every single time FFS!

Well, you don't wanna go against the 9th richest man in the world would you?

Yeah right...

Fishball 101
I teach you demand and supply in a HK way.

Its funny and strangely easy to absorb...best spoon-fed I've ever seen.

If you don't know Chinese, just answer the question: If a bowl of fishballs of 6 cost 20bucks, a bowl of cowballs of 6 cost 20bucks, and a bowl of mixed balls(3 fishballs, 3 cowballs) cost 22bucks, What is the cheapest way to maximize utility and minimize cost with a group of 2?

I don't know wtf I am talking about, that guy is brilliant! (He is getting like at least US 250K a year for teaching you how to get the most balls in a HK way ...)
