Matchbooks will soon be a thing of the past so you can imagine how excited I was to find vintage matchbooks at a junk shop in Hong Kong on Cat Street! With original logos predating me from the 50s and 60s, even I had trouble identifying some of the hotel brands.

Hotels, like any other real estate, are built to make money.  And when you're talking about dollars per square foot or heads in beds, budget hotels are the way to go.  

In an urban setting kindles and nooks may seem archaic (they certainly aren't as cool or trendy as iPads) but for travelers who want to read in the sun, these e-readers are the way to go. Get one and you'll be the envy of everyone on the beach.

At the ArtisTree Gallery in Hong Kong a multi-media exhibition on Gehry’s prominent works includes models and sketches from his archives dating back to the 70's.  Quite strategically, the exhibit finishes off with a comprehensive display of the architect's design process for OPUS Hong Kong.
