Rats Are Coming to Town

6 June 2010 - I understand that - in my absence - Hong Kong is buzzing with the news that a tourist was bitten by a rat in downtown Central. Newspapers have reported that the incident could damage the SARS reputation of the city, and citizens have cried foul about our dirty city. "Kill, kill, kill" I hear the masses shout. The newspaper also said that "we cannot show tourists rats". Hey - name me one sea-side city in the world without rats? I do not think we are living the horror movie "Rat Attack" yet after one rat bite. Hong Kong grow up.
