As I'm aware that tourists wander on to this blog from time to time looking for travel information on Hong Kong, I'm feeling obliged to offer the following advice: Don't come in June, July or August because it pisses with rain the whole time.
Look at these rainfall figures: June - 18.8 rainy days per month, July - 17.8, August - 17.4. You think you'll avoid it? You think you'll be lucky? Ask yourself: When are you ever?
I've been dipping in and out of this collection
of essays written by Today's Leading Thinkers who are, apparently, people like
Daniel C Dennett, Susan Blackmore and Stephen Pinker. It's not bad, but I've
heard most of these arguments before. The authors agonise over stuff like the
non-existence of the soul, human inequality, eugenics, free will,
consciousness, and the general pointlessnes of the universe. Actually it was
quite depressing. Today's Leading Thinkers seem to do a lot of worrying and
don't have a lot of answers.
