COURIER Ms. PORTABLE's NOTES:While taking the journey from the Tuen Mun Relay Centre to Kowloon City by way of two buses and a bit of foot journey in between to carry out other errands, I could not help but think of Chief Executive Carrie Lam's bizarre comments a few months ago regarding the new development of Hong Kong's Northern Metropolis near the Shenzhen border; a headline had read: "People will sleep better in my metropolis", referring to her observation of the many people dozing off on buses while she travels to visit the development area, approximately one hour from her residence on Hong Kong island. Without wanting to be associated with this person, I have actually made a similar observation of passengers on public transport, though I would never have the grandiose vision to think that wasteful, top-down developments such as this or the Lantau Tomorrow Vision project could resolve such a phenomenon. But I am not a politician. These thoughts, however, keep me awake while on the journey, and I finally make it to Kowloon City, the Thai neighbourhood of Hong Kong, offering in addition to his book an ironic gift of Thai coconut candies to the receiver because I am travelling to Thailand tomorrow and think I won't be needing them. He takes me up to his rooftop garden for a tour of sleepy city fruits, veggies and flowers.
