I actually paid for that PPV.. even had to go to Rogers to borrow a box for it :fuckthatshit:

^I am not too familiar with the situation so please correct me if I'm wrong...

...but from my understanding when HK was being returned to China a whole influx of HK citizens moved away out of fear. Then after a while when things didn't seem so bad they all moved back.

My Dad bought a condo, maybe 10-15 years ago. The seller was a HK lady moving back to HK. She had a huge Sony CRT tv with an HK plug attached to it. We were hoping she would leave it for us, but I guess she took that gigantic TV back home.

Handed over, not returned. Hong Kong was never a part of the PRC, so couldn't be 'returned'. Thus it was handed over after the original agreement with a previous government expired.

Not a big deal but I feel the need to correct it every time I see someone say "returned" :p

I don't wear a watch, either. Everywhere I look, people have their necks craned downwards or have shit plugged in their ears and a grouchy, pinched face. I can't even ask people for the time now because I fear they'll snap at me. "Don't you have your own phone?!"
