My colleague informs me that in Hong Kong people don't give sweets instead they give money. Perhaps I will take Padstow trick or treating after all...
Halloween in Hong Kong
Royal Blackmail: The name - But who cares?
OK, lets get this over with - The law is indeed an ass as the Times.co.uk writes here. They are not allowed to publish the name, but anyone else in a foreign country can.
Its Lord David Linley (read here for the Italian link). There we go. A very minor royal and the only real news is that someone wanted £50,000 pounds to keep it quiet. Frankly, no one cares about this chap and they should have released it days ago - There would be no story now had they done this.
Have they learnt nothing from the Diana fiasco? I wonder who advises the Royal family on the web and PR because they are doing a pretty lousy job. It took me two minutes to establish that it wasn't Harry (have you seen Chelsea??! Gay? I don't think so...) Charles? Well, possible I suppose.
Any child in the UK can type into google and get the result. The issue should be that people are writing that its Charles, its Harry and that is where the dame can be done.
The real story is that this isn't a story - Its only making waves in the UK because the (UK ONLY) press can't publish what I can or the Italian press can, its absolute madness.
Now, lets all get back to Britney's meltdown or the smog in Hong Kong. That is really news.
Now this is a quote...
I always tell people, be careful what you say online as everyone will quote you, no matter what or how you meant those words to come out. Everything is now under a global microscope.
Today I read a new favourite from NBC Universal Chief Jeff Zucker;
"Apple has destroyed the music business... If we don't take control on the video side, they'll do the same [there]."
If he means destroyed in terms of increased sales (read profits), new artists and generally an all round better experience for consumers then yes, Apple has indeed destroyed the music business.
Words fail me on this one. No-one would ever say anything that stupid in Hong Kong of course...
ALL women should watch this!

Travel Book is ready to go to print!
Well, its quite a week. Not only am I working on a book for the Hong Kong Dog Rescue charity I am also publishing my first photographic book of my travels.
Called "The World Through My lens, by ali bullock 2004 - 2007" its a collection of my very best photos in a large coffee table format. I am really pleased with the results and I hope that it will make a nice gift for Christmas.
You can see some photos here
Locations include, Cuba, NYC, London, Padstow, Hanoi, Beijing, Paris, to name but a few. You can also see my list of 50 places to see before you die including where I have been here.
The HKDR Book is almost ready to be published
I went down to the publishers yesterday and the book is almost ready. We should see final proofs in the next week or so and then its off for the print run. And there is a thousand to sell, so please buy it...!
The book looks like it will be featured in Hong Kong Tatler and HK Magazine (I hope) which will certainly increase the sales. If you want to buy a copy let me know, all the profits go to the charity.
A few photos on the right for your enjoyment.
This is a really great time for me and these very lucky dogs.
