Hongcouver

Just a quick post to point you to this story about the huge changes in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, before and since the handover of Hong Kong to the Chinese in 1997. Immigrants from HK flooded into Vancouver before the handover, fearing a crackdown by the Communist Chinese government that would destroy the high-flying, wide-open pinnacle of capitalism. So many Chinese came that the city developed a new nickname: Hongcouver.

I'm a huge fan of Hong Kong cinema, so this caught my attention. That is all.
