your ambitions, through power of finance
前回、日本とアメリカのプロ投資家に関する規制について比較してみた訳ですが、そこで分かったことは、プロの投資家に対する保護の考え方であったり、投資家の性質に対する定義の大きな考え方の違いというのが際立って見えた、ということでした。
となると、じゃあ、他の国はどうなの？というのが気になるのが世の常（？）ということで、とりあえず日本から近い、投資家の多い国ということで香港を見てみました。まずは例によって、急いで答えだけが欲しい人のためにこんなコンテンツでも。
At last, I came back my second home, after losing any business reasons to visit to Hong Kong since December 2012. But, it remains there; appearance remains, staff too. But, Pacific Place proudly announces its 25th anniversary, so that renovation here and there is unavoidable for the visitors being attracted to come back, naturally, and our executive lounge is also applicable.
More stylish appearance, and more spaces (this means less kitchenette behind the scene), hence more tables and chairs, but more comfortable indeed. And dishes served there is even more: free accessed oven, keeping temperature around 70 degree to keep your bread and scone warm, bigger fridge offers more drinks and cold fruits and home-made yogurt. And, better omelette 🙂
The day I took a shot was a day for omelette with bell peppers, with almost seamless rugby football shape, though it was served in a large pan with steam warmer (you cannot expect your chef cooks for you by order due to space), but considering past experiences in HK, it was indeed improved. Well done!
I now started to find and create another excuse to be back my second home now 🙂
It was almost 20 years after I came back to Kowloon peninsula to stay when I got my first passport in my life to come to HK with backpack, to find and stay backpacker hotel to follow a novel I read at that age.
After I started my career as business person, I have been lucky enough to avoid my first overseas experience to stay at relatively luxury hotels in Hong Kong island every time I came to HK.
This time, as suggestion by one of my friends of hotel woman, I booked at the captioned hotel, in Kowloon side. This hotel is among other classic hotels in TST East, around 5 to 10 minutes walk distance, and thanks to neighbour of Hotel Nikko, I recognised more Japanese tourists around this area (and I was recognised as Japanese, too). So, if your meetings are arranged in island side, you may hesitate, as you also need to top up another 5 minutes to cross habour by MTR (and actually I did), but once you start to live there, you realise this extra 10 minutes is comfortably nice to cool you down from heated discussion during meetings.
And, this hotel proudly offer their lounge in 1st floor, whoever can use once you pay a bit of extra cost for lounge. But it is indeed worth to pay for it. At the evening cocktail hours, their wine list is quite unique enough to enjoy, and quality of finger foods are yet another enjoyable ones from their kitchen. SO, you can anticipate its quality of breakfast, too.
Indeed I was surprised when I found a list of dishes to order-to-cook for breakfast. It is rare to find such arrangement (I only saw at Sofitel Sigon before), and moreover, it includes omelette! And, again and again, you should surprise that you can see and enjoy seamless, rugby-football shaped well-cooked omelette!!!! As you know I only saw three-folded omelette in HK, so I believed until then that three-folded ones is the one-and-only standard form of omelette in HK…
I would, no wonder, come back there, worth enough to enjoy their omelette again.
But, one notably discover was that I found a couple of staff in black at Garden Cafe, and one of them made a perfect omelet, with seamless round shape. Shame, I did not bring my iPhone or cam with me on that day, and that was only when I got that occasion… I must come back again, so soon…

And, no wonder I can put one from where I stayed honourably!
As usual, breakfast meeting is one of the biggest challenge as you have to eat for the rest of the day, but you also have to talk 😀 So I can recall I was the last person to clean up dishes…
