The Wild West is going farther west. So far west that it's the far east. The newest roller coaster announced for Hong Kong Disneyland is Big Grizzly Mountain. Set to open in 2012, it will be the main attraction in Grizzly Trail -- Hong Kong's version of the original park's ...Dim Sum Dialogues: Kowloon Walled City
Today, it's one of the most peaceful locations in the city. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and connected by long, low archways that are remnant of the Qing Dynasty's architecture. There are ponds, waterfalls, dragonflies; everything you might associate with ...Dim Sum Dialogues: Wan Chai
The streets are seedy, ragged and flooded with dim red, yellow, and orange neon lights. In between tiny food stalls and convenience stores, dozens of young filipino and thai women in short leather miniskirts loiter outside modest club entrances. Sometimes they call out ...Dim Sum Dialogues: Expat ultimate frisbee
Confession time. Time to come clean. It's something I've been meaning to get off my chest for a while. Something I didn't know how to bring up before, but here goes... I did the most caucasian thing that an expat living in Hong Kong could do. I joined an ultimate frisbee ...Dim Sum Dialogues: Ngong Ping
The world's largest outdoor seated bronze buddha. It sounds more like an obscure sports statistic than a record for a religious statue - and it left me to wonder - where does the largest indoor standing silver buddha reside? My skepticism about the buddha at Ngong Ping ...Dim Sum Dialogues: Double Happiness
In a continuation from yesterday on my post about Hong Kong weddings, I wanted to shed some light on the interesting history behind a prominent symbol that can be found decorating virtually every wedding in China. Double Happiness.
Sometimes translated as "double ...Dim Sum Dialogues: Love & Marriage
Weddings in Hong Kong are big business. In every district, small shops advertise dress tailoring, videography or photography packages, and event planning services. Go into any of the big hotels on a weekend and you'll find over 300 people congregating in the grand ...Dim Sum Dialogues: Family Business
I arrive at the Houston Center of East Tsim Sha Tsui dripping in sweat - a product of the battle between Hong Kong's unforgiving humidity and my mild-weather Californian blood. I'm here to meet with 23-year-old Ray Lok, a mutual friend and aspiring businessman in Hong ...Bruce Lee's former home may become a museum

Officials in Hong Kong have launched a competition to design ...Spoil yourself at the Four Seasons Hong Kong
When the Four Seasons Hong Kong was completed in 2005, it entered one of the most competitive markets in the world. Hong Kong is home to a collection of premier hotels, all constructed to take advantage of the city's stunning scenery and appetite for luxury services. In my ...Dim Sum Dialogues: The Chungking Mansions
This is Nadim. Nadim is originally from Pakistan. He came to Hong Kong seven years ago with his wife and two children to find a better life. He tells me that he never envisioned his better life to be what he has today, but he's happy, and enjoying moderate success selling ...Dim Sum Dialogues : Getting down to business
Let's face it - if you're an aspiring businessperson or entrepreneur, there's an excellent chance that you'll be doing business in China within the next decade. Whether it's manufacturing, finance, or trading - China has the second largest economy in the world and isn't ...Dim Sum Dialogues: Little Manila
Dark clouds rumble through the steel corridors of Central - the remaining signs of a level nine typhoon that swept through Hong Kong last night. I dash out of the MTR station onto the wet streets, and gaze at hundreds of dark-haired, dark-skinned people around me. A ...Dim Sum Dialogues: Chinese Tea
One of my only objectives this weekend was to write an article about traditional Chinese tea. I had been entertaining visions of myself walking down a dark side street in Central and discovering an old wooden tea house guarded by an ancient man with a long wispy beard. I ...Dim Sum Dialogues: Planes, Trams, & Automatic Doors
This is a continuation of yesterday's column on the transportation of Hong Kong. After seeing various Youtube videos of the infamous landing at Hong Kong's now defunct Kai Tak Airport, I'm disappointed that I never had the chance to experience a 747 roaring over a narrow ...Dim Sum Dialogues: The MTR
I love public transport. For me, it's one of the factors that define whether a city is good or great...and after living in Los Angeles for 4 years, I've been overdue to live in a city with great transportation. I've navigated the underground systems of most of the major U.S ...
