Randy W Posted August 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 My dream is to find a British era bar, dark, quiet and musty - and get served a proper gin and tonic made by a bartender who's older than dirt. How long would that take? Second Dream: get measured for a custom fitted suit by a Hong Kong tailor and have it sent to my home. I would be happy for either, but would probably choose the gin and tonic first and have the memory of the experience die with me. Shouldn't be a problem - see http://www.cnn.com/travel/article/hong-kong-heritage-restaurants-bars/index.html - and - https://www.google.com/search?q=hong+kong+tailor&gws_rd=cr,ssl Google is your friend.

It is known that there are 16 areas like this with a total of 23,000 bikes in the city. However, only a few bike-sharing companies have dealt with the issue after being informed by local officials. Zheese - What ELSE could go wrong? In the Global Times Driving in style Quote About 1,500 BMW cars will be scattered throughout Shenyang, capital of Northeast China's Liaoning Province, starting from next week for a car-sharing service. Consumers can scan the QR code on the cars, pictured above, using the Hongyang car-sharing app. A 999 yuan ($150) deposit is needed. Rental will cost consumers 1.5 yuan per kilometer and will not exceed a daily limit of 200 yuan. Photo: CFP Edited February 19, 2021 by Randy W (see edit history) Link to comment
