The only hangover from the WTO meeting is the protesters being held in jail. Of course, there are allegations of abuse but my take is that the police showed admirable restraint. One “sex worker” (PC speak for prostitute) was quoted as saying that they were just “poor, defenseless women who were trying to set up a line to protect the Korean farmers who were attacking the police with bamboo poles and metal street dividers.” Nuff said.
So back to what’s really important, the Holiday Sales. Do your bit for Hong Kong’s economy and get out there and spend some of that cash you saved by not going out during the WTO conference. Shopkeepers, bar owners and restaurateurs are complaining that the conference hurt their sales. I’m sure that’s true. Got to make up for lost time. Move!
