Are you going to get a suit made? Princeton Tailor is a great place.

Excuses, excuses . . . Your iPad can take very nice pictures - of course you look a little dumb holding it up in front of you to take them.

I recently discovered that my camera will somehow load pictures onto my iPad right through the air. I tried it and it works. (Fuji XE-2) and I read that most new cameras have some sort of wi-fi built in. (I'm much too old for some of this magic stuff)

So, please don't wait until you get home . . . send us some pictures, Jérôme, and have a great vacation.

Lived in HK for 6 years. It is the many little things that make it great. Riding the Star ferry across the Harbor, drinking a beer in Stanley, or having a nice lunch at the Peak cafe. Dim sum in Wanchai, walking the beach in Repulse Bay.... Many memories. Putting you hand in Jackie Chan's hand print on the boardwalk in front of your hotel... Oh and Lan Kwai Fung- Omg! Many a brain cell left there!

I hope (and know) you will enjoy it.

I still have the Denon equipment I bought there. Love the gold finish.

Enjoy

Was in HK for Christmas of '93. Unfortunately, pretty much all the tailors were closed for the holidays. Was probably a bit different place back then (still under British control), but I'd bet it continues to be an amazing place.

Just the architecture is incredible, and crazy to watch workers scramble up many floors of scaffolding constructed of nothing but bamboo lashed together.

[QUOTE="cma29;584506"]When I was in Hong Kong my wife and I had tailored-made suits. It was fun and the garment still fits great. My other memorable experiences were going to horses races at the Jockey Club and having dinner at Felix on top of the Peninsula Hotel.[/QUOTE
