Pabuk is gone, and a new kind of vision Yesterday at about 2.30pm, the Hong Kong Observatory raised the Number 8 signal, which meant that Typhoon Pabuk was going to pass very very close to Hong Kong. Number 8 means everyone should go home immediately - which of course caused chaos, and "Taxi drivers were quick to exploit the situation, with some demanding as much as HK$50 above the meter reading."

Didn't bother me too much - the only thing I noticed was that for about an hour it was impossible to phone anyone at all.

And now - moving on to a new kind of entertainment. Pandavision. There are four pandas at the popular Ocean Park here in Hong Kong, and now you can watch them on the web all day, or tune in to the Pandavision Channel on TV (providing you have Now Pay-TV). 24-hours of non-stop hot Panda action.
