This year…The photos came out good. At least for my standard. Better than last year. I think.

Barcamp Hong Kong 2011 – The 5th year. Same time as I have been in Hong Kong. This year I really did not stay for the talks. I went to take some photos at the introduction and left at around 11.45am.

Usually I have my drawing class on Saturday. This year…I did not do much at Barcamp.

From the Barcamp introductions and the board schedule, I get a feeling the startup scene was much stronger as compared to the previously.

A lot of apps developers. This year…apps dominate the Barcamp scene. Old dawg like me…just don’t fit anymore.


Another interesting thing that I’ve observed, a lot job offering. Very happy to see the job scene are probably many times better than previous year.

July 1st rally, 2011. A yearly event. Again it was at Victoria Park. Maybe next year I will take some shot from Causeway Bay. A little bored taking so many shot in Victoria Park.


This year turnout were one of the largest. Tons of dissatisfaction. Somehow this administration keep shooting it own feet. Trying to hard to please the big boss rather than the people it serve.

After 4 years in HK, The top down management style is very much alive. NO one dare to own up responsibility from manager level and up. This kind of corporate culture is reflected into the Government culture.

In HK, Having a job is very important, once you reached a managerial position, you probably have a family, kid and a mortgage. At this point, the manager in you cannot afford to lose you job.

A job loss will be very devastating to your family. So, most of the manager will do what status quo and will never step up to the plate.

You can see this behavior in the Government sector. It’s a cushy job with lots of perks. NO one would be stupid enough to sabotage their own career.

Another thing, in HK, if you step up to the plate and own up the responsibility and solved certain company crisis. You do the right thing and you still get fired. Why? Your boss or immediate superior feels threatened on your ability. So..you are fired.

That is why… I can dare say. Most managerial manager level and above in HK are chicken shit…Coming back to politic. I don’t think the CE will do jacks because he will not risk offending his bosses.

He stilll need a job after 2012 to keep his current lifestyle. So, why risk your career.

This year…I saw more presence of foreign press coverage.

Translation – I am a good person. But as you can see, he wrote on pen ‘I am NOT a good person’. I thought it was interesting.
