Imagine that the Prime-minister of UK did not appear in public for one week. Hard to imagine, right? Even if he goes to a fish market, that comes in the news.
Now, the Supreme Leader of North Korea disappeared one month ago and nobody knows where he is. Nobody knows if there has been a coup (let's pray and hope) or if he's sick. Nothing! The entire world obviously wants to know where he is. However... It is certainly ironic that the person that most people in the world would dread to meet, is now the one everyone is wondering about.
This blog is meant to register my life while in Edinburgh..

And this is why...
And this is why I love Hong Kong!
The people from Hong Kong act on their ideals. They see something that does not make sense: the fact that it is the central government and not themselves choosing their chief executive. And more than seeing that it doesn't make sense, they act on it.
Every year in the handover day hundreds of thousands (millions even) take to the streets to protest. This year they refused to go to University, boycotted the national day's celebrations and show the entire world that there is at least one territory in China that wants what makes sense: to choose their rullers.
Seeing this made me miss Hong Kong...
