Virgil Tibbs, seriously, you wouldn’t believe the number of Chinese, female HK’ers I know who have been there in the past year. Go figure eh?

Love how simple and lacking in background and analysis the HK warnings are compared to US, UK, Canadian or Australian advisories.

The warning for Turkey seems to date from August.

Seriously, HK people go to Iran?

I like the idea that this colour scheme is probably telling us “Don’t even TRY to visit Germany or Belgium!”

Dear Troika & Chanboy,

Please take a big, deep breath and count to 10, both of you.

There, that’s better now.

Please remember this is the Big Lychee blog and we’re all expected to maintain its high standard of wit and civility.

As for me, this Red Alert for Thailand means cheap airfares and hotel rates will abound until the protests are over, so my family and I will be booking our trip right away.

Hasta la vista, baby!

Oooooo, I love your “intelligent” remarks Troika. Do you actually have a point to make? Or as I have guessed, you aren’t capable of making one, so you are another of those retarded numbskulls in HK. I pity you. Learn to make a point and I might actually consider the merits of your comment. Really, it’s not that hard.

Chanboy, who do you mean by “people here”?

Do you mean the stupid, thick idiots in your house?

It’s all to cover the Government from the ‘wah’ factor. Wah, why doesn’t the Governmrnt organise special flights to get me out of here? Wah, why didn’t the Government tell me? Wah, why is the Government costing me business? etc etc.

Yeah, people here are taught to automatically accept what their superiors or authority figures say without thinking for themselves first.

Not that the individualized “me-first” Western thinking is totally right all the time, but I mean, it seem pretty simple to not to go to unstable places that can possibly threaten you. Seems like this is a result of government knee-jerk response to criticisms. It reminds me of the dubious lawsuits they have in America, leading to absurd warnings over obvious things. It’s like that guy who sued Mcdonalds for making him get fat.
