http://campionhongkong.blogspot.com/2010/10/war-occupation-regeneration.html
War, Occupation, Regeneration. February 15, 2010. Gong Xi Fa Cai! Malapascua Island is situated in an inland sea surrounded by the larger islands of Cebu, Leyte, Negros, and Luzon. Diving in these waters was extraordinary. Each morning my dive group would depart from the beach on a large outrigger called a bangka. Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay. Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare. The lone and level sands stretch far away. Sunk 24 September 1944.

March 29, 2010. In which he describes the ubiquitous dampness of Limerick and the toll that it took on the residents:. Rereading this passage after spending winter in Hong Kong gives me a new appreciation of the ability of weather to be a constant nuisance and a health risk. But there is not much that one can do about it and in the end Hong Kong people, perhaps like the Irish, bear it stoically and get on with life. By his personal physician, Zhisui Li. Maybe they never thought that China would be rich.
