Agree. Luk Yu is generally regarded as the best in Hong Kong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luk_Yu_(tea_house) But it's really catered to genuine gourmets. A typical S'porean diner probably won't appreciate Luk Yu.

How does it compare to ABC Seafood and Hong Kong Flower Lounge?

Correction: Deng Xiao Ping set China on the road to <b>Westernization</b> &mdash; emulating Western capitalist markets and Western industrial organizations, importing Western technologies and equipments, adopting the Western way of production and manufacturing, etc. If not for the opium war...

The average PRC guy on the street does not have a mind of his own. That's why the Chinese can be so readily enslaved by so many brutal regimes for so many centuries. They will unquestioningly believe any shit that their slave masters tell them despite all evidence to the contrary.

You can choose not to use their airports. Did anyone force you to visit America?

If you know your history, you'd know that the people who live in Greece today are not the descendants of the ancient Greeks and the people who live in Italy today are not the descendants of the ancient Romans. But you're right about the Han Chinese. They are somewhat like the Borgs in Star Trek...

Most mainland Chinese do not have a mind of their own. Despite suffering through decades of brutal and inhuman misrule under the Communist Party, they would still unquestioningly swallow whatever crap that the Communist Party feeds them. Mainland Chinese also value blind patriotism above...

I suppose you meant mid-size state university in <i>America</i>? Looks like you have a pretty high opinion of NUS. I'm not sure which ones you consider mid-size. But state universities in America are spectacular. If you judge by intellectual output, Berkeley for example is in the league of...

Didn't realize that Oxford and Cambridge are now in the Ivies; must have sold themselves to America after Osborne cut their budget by 40%. And anyway, it's a mistake to think that the Ivies are more expensive. Ivies and other top places in the US give generous financial aid to students. If your...

To win a Nobel prize in the sciences, one needs basic qualities like imagination and curiosity, as well as a capacity for rational thinking and abstract reasoning, but most of all the willingness to question existing theories and to challenge the status quo. Chinese seem to be somewhat lacking...

Even the Chinese themselves question the significance of the "Four Great Inventions": http://news.163.com/06/1214/10/32A2PSPS00011243.html And you should probably know that it was the westerners who came up with this "Four Great Inventions" list...

You seem a little confused about what constitutes "parroting" and what doesn't. Let me pare it down for you. There is only one truth. If Krugman says it first and I'm wise enough to judge that his arguments are sound, then I see the same truth and that hardly counts as parroting. Copernicus...

What a complete load of crap. Krugman was one of the very first to warn about the looming disaster long before anyone else. As early as May 2005, he warned that US was coming to the end of a giant housing bubble in the NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/27/opinion/27krugman.html and of...

Sure. My view is that Krugman is right and that you're an idiot.

The guy who wrote this migrated to Australia in 2005: http://singaporeserf.blogspot.com/ Don't project your own ineptitude onto others.

Very sad. But good to see that the meme he started is still alive even when he's gone.

How is this real? Isn't it a movie?

Well, maybe it never really happened and I had imagined it, except that a google search on "us export boom 2008" yields about two hundred thousand results. Knock yourself out: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/18/business/economy/18export.html http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKN1028154820080110...

It takes a certain level of intellectual acumen to appreciate Krugman (not a lot since he writes with amazing clarity and accessibility). If you are deficient in that regard, you could compensate for it with an open mind. But if you lack both, then I guess he is an idiot to you. For example...
