Serious storm
11,000 lightning strikes this morning already. That’s a heap big storm. Add the 200mm+ of rain in 24 hours and it is not so clement outside.
It still surprises me how well Hong Kong deals with this sort of weather.
Racing and Hong Kong
Interesting perspective on HK racing. We were away this weekend so didn’t see any racing news, but I don’t think much was made of the HK wins in Singapore here. http://racingbitch.wordpress.com/2013/05/21/the-role-of-racing-in-the-marketing-of-hong-kong/

Two fabulous mass settings
Having been listening to renaissance masses for the last couple of weeks, here are a pair of modern ones that were new to me today. I love them both. Thanks to Patrick and Chris for the links (Spotify).
- Frank Weir And His Concert Orchestra – 20th Century Folk Mass (Broadway does God)
- Will Todd, Vasari Singers – Mass In Blue (Jazz / Gospel does God)

Lucky clear night in Beijing
Quite a view from our lovely room in the CBD.
And there is little pollution and no dust storm. Result.
Comfort class to Beijing
Very happy to get a “First Class seat with business class service” to Beijing today. Sounds like Cathay Pacific’s homage to “one country two systems”.
Yes, that’s my guest seat.
