Hong Kong - The Meeting Place of Vegas Rejects

When I was a kid, my aunt worked at the Hong Kong Tourist Association. Back in the days, the HKTA motto was "Hong Kong - Wonders Never Cease" (I know because we didn't have to buy any stationary during those years and that motto was on every single pen, memo stack and calender that my aunt brought back.) However, after seeing an assortment of concert posters on the street, I think an update is necessary.

First to touch down in Hong Kong is Paul Anka. No, not the dog in Gilmore Girls, but the actual Order of Canada recipient Paul Anka. Unfortunately, I was still in Shanghai at the time of the concert and I couldn't go. Also, ticket was expensive.

Then, we got Michael Flately. Yes, that's right guys, the LORD OF THE DANCE will be in Hong Kong. The show is called Celtic Tiger. The sad part is that people are totally willing to pay $1290 (approx $200 CDN) to see a show called Celtic frickin' Tiger. I predict sequins. LOTS of sequins.





Ironically, I was mocking the Chinese concert promoter, whoever he might be, when I saw the Bee Gees poster in Shanghai a couple weeks ago. OMFG. You mean he still tours? Like, there's an audience for him? In China?! But I shouldn't laugh. Robin Gibb is probably a lesser evil than the Lord of the Dance.












And one more picture before I leave. I saw this when I was browsing the NHL website for Oilers score (they sure are doing well ever since I left the country, probably to the dismay of Tyson) and I saw this:

Captions can do no justice.
