Most HK lites will not even cross the water. Eat in Tungchung, you mean the standard duck and rice fare with green stalks? Yeah, the place is gonna change in 2 years but its still Kowloon side and yeah, HK Islanders will not eat there. 30 min in HK? Most HK lites will not even cross the water.

Google Citygate Tungchung. We have a Taste™ supermarket, cinemas, restaurants, etc. Never been on a Lantau-bound ferry so far :-) Sumo294, you must update your knowledge of HK! :-) Lots to eat in Tung Chung — where the high speed MTR line takes you from Central in 30 minutes… Google Citygate Tungchung.

I guess it marks progress of sorts.

The information is nice, but I have both a slingbox (slingmedia.com) and a hava (myhava.com) connected to different satellite dvr boxes back in the U.S. I do pay my relatives a little to cover part of both their satellite and broadband services. I know others who may not have the set up I have may be interested though. I just wished the networks would stream live football games as I sometimes get very early Monday morning visitors when a game of interest to an ex-pat is airing. If it is only for me, I just record it and watch when I get up later. Technology has really come a long way in the last few years. Just make sure you buy a good laptop/notebook and set everything up before you come overseas. I still don't understand why South Korean laptops are still over a year behind technology-wise compared to those that can be bought in the U.S. and then more expensive at that. You’re welcome.
