Some like Greg, occasional visitors. Many have visited. I was born in Hong Kong, and the current events fill me with trepidation. I talked to my Tai Chi teacher, and he said wisely, "Water always find its level". A very Daoist thing, be like water. If I have the resource, I will go there now, to document the events. There are lots of propaganda flowing around, including hilariously that US is paying the protesters. Anyway, please keep up with the news. I don't know what will happen. I hope the Tiananman scenario does not happen. If you are on Facebook, you can follow sites like Hong Kong Free Press (which is definitely very much pro democracy and independence), or SCMP which was a very well respected news source, but less so in recent years as it was bought by Jack Ma, the Alibaba founder, but it still does provide news reports without too much bias. Without getting into politics, the current administration does not care about democracy in Hong Kong other than whatever fits its selfish agenda. However, we can still call our Congress representatives. Anyway, please send good thoughts and hope for bloodless resolution. Thank you. -- // richard http://imagecraft.com Beyond Arduino - When you're ready to get serious... JumpStart C Tools for Atmel AVR and Cortex-M, The Better Alternative
