This week, we continue to say goodbye to wonderful friends. With members leaving Hong Kong, it's time to expand our reach. I want to make it easier for everyone to stay in touch with each other. New pockets of members are popping up all around our little blue planet. I'm ready to take full advantage of technology that didn't exist when I started. For now, the connections will be managed and shared with a personal touch. Ex-HK professionals and businesses will be included in our new village section. Once we're ready, the expansion will include the new global network site. Whether or not we know their names, we know who our friends are. Sometimes it's a smile and nod, a quick click hello or a proper visit. When it's time to travel again, we'll have friends ready and waiting. Until then (and to keep our footprint small) we connect online. It feels good to know we can still see each other. That makes it a bit easier to say our farewells. And we really are all in this together. Where are your friends? Naturally,

` On my morning walk down to the beach recently, I noticed a startling new trend in this quiet, remote, tiny fishing village – used surgical masks discarded into the river, ready to be swept into the sea with the next rain. With three rubbish bins within a one-minute walk, the senseless of this insensitive behavior left me incensed -- read more. |

Hong Kong provides a critical part of the home range for the broader dolphin population, but local dolphin abundance here has dropped by over 80 per cent in the past 15 years, threatened by habitat loss and degradation, as well as dwindling fisheries, marine traffic and other human threats. We need your help to secure their future -- sign our petition. |
