If it's money you're worried about, take the train to Guangzhou, change to fast train to Shenzhen, cross border, take commuter train to Kowloon & stay in Chungking Mansions for HK$200/night (with family it will be a bit more, of course). When I'm in Hong Kong I eat for about HK$200/day. Shame to go all that way & not bother to look around the city.

Meeting will be at The Park at 6:30PM, I think.

Good post, vicar, but the thing is that while the internet is providing all sorts of information, it is also screening out other information - like, where you are, who's in front of you, birds singing, etc. In short, it can be misused, and is, and becomes a crutch for those who don't adequately develop skills for human confrontation with matter, or for subtle (i.e., not merely written or spoken) communication with the human beings and other life forms it embodies.
It shouldn't be an either/or choice, but for all too many it is becoming one. I choose not to use it in the middle of dinner parties, conversations with physically-present (i.e., 'real') people, observations of landscapes, interactions with people I don't know but might, or as interference with my relationship to the material world generally. So I keep the internet at home.

Best wishes Dan. My impression is that somebody - probably poor - does collect it from next to the bins, and that leads to a useful bowl of rice for somebody. I don't know where it ends up next, tho.
