應某國際詩歌雲端朗誦串連，吾剛剛完成首次自拍視頻，哈哈哈，深知自己不是網紅的料，只能拿書遮住臉（否則根本無法錄影）。

謎

誰的宇宙已生成？
誰擁有這神秘的膨脹？
你是誰？
而某人已擁有你？
或是一齣悲劇的謀和？

你說：「我還不知道我是誰？」
某人回答：「你已經是我的。」
生命是無知而來，
朝未知而去。
誰都知道
其實
你和自己的影子
在跳舞。

A Riddle

Whose universe was born?
Who orders this inexplicable expansion?
Who are you?
And you already belong to someone?
Or is this all a tragedy reconciled?

I don’t know who I am yet, you say
But you are mine, someone answers
Life starts from ignorance
And is headed to ignorance
Everyone knows
The fact is
You are partying with
Your own shadow

——Translated by Yanwing Leung

香港10大無人能及的優點
Here are 10 things this great city does better than anywhere else.

1. 摩天大樓全球最多 Building into the sky

香港現時有1,251幢摩天大廈，數量全球最多，比新加坡要多一倍，形成叫世界讚嘆的維港景觀。除了高聳在城中，中銀大廈及香港國際金融中心等亦很具設計特色。
When you've got a heck of a lot of people and very little land, what do you do? Hong Kong's solution is to stack them up on top of each other, inside tall buildings.

2. 敢死的建築技巧 Daredevil construction

其他地方都是用鋼和鋁築棚，香港的竹棚技術讓各國驚訝。CNN甚至用「敢死(Daredevil)」去形容現時超過1,700位註冊竹棚工人呢。
Daredevil scaffolders dangling precariously on bits of bamboo suspended in midair are a common and heart-stopping sight in Hong Kong's streets.

3. 說廣東話的都是語言人才 Tonal talents

內地媒體日前傳言「說廣東話會生癌」，論點極具創意，而 CNN 卻從欣賞角度去看我們的語言 - 廣東話多達 9 個音，比普通話(4音)、泰文(5音)、越南文(6音)要多，每個音都有不同意思，足以讓外國人驚嘆其精細。而在香港，每日更有創新潮語豐富我們的日常對話。所以，識講嘅，一定係講廣東話。

2. 極低罪案率 Staying alive

這裡不單只是全球罪案率最低的城市之一，還是全球最少兇殺案的地方之一，絕對是全球最安全地方。
Hong Kong - with an intentional homicide rate of 0.2 per 100,000 people in the last 16 years - only lost out to Monaco and Palau, where there have been zero recorded murders.

3. 交通發達 Getting you there

香港公共交通系統之方便享譽全球，相對歐美國家，香港對私家車的依賴低得多。CNN 亦讚港鐵的運作表現優良。
Hong Kong is really good at getting you where you need to go.

6. 低稅制 Letting you keep your money

薪俸稅只在15%-17%之間，而香港亦沒有消費稅(GST)，是工作生活的好地方。
As a financial center that's historically been seen as the gateway to the Chinese market, Hong Kong is a great place to make money.

7. 武打電影 Kung fu movies

香港出產了李小龍、成龍、周潤發、張曼玉等國際巨星，而武打電影更能打入荷里活市場。外國人都能數得出多部知名武打電影如「臥虎藏龍」、「精武門」、「黃飛鴻」等作品。香港電影業的輝煌，有賴邵氏的貢獻。
Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, Maggie Cheung, John Woo, Wong Kar-wai ... the list of Hong Kong's cinematic heavy hitters goes on.

8. 優秀的國際機場 Soft landings

香港國際機場由1998年運作至今已取得逾 40 項國際大獎，更一直屹立於Skytrax的全球國際機場排名之中。縱使近年受到新加坡樟宜機場的挑戰，香港國際機場的載客量依然大幅拋離對手。
One of the most impressive sites for Hong Kong visitors is the airport. Sure, it's recently been toppled from the throne by Singapore's Changi Airport.But Hong Kong handles more passenger traffic, 53 million passengers in 2011.
Take that, Singapore.

9. 美食天堂 Foodie-ism

七百萬人，萬五家食府 (實際數字應該更多)，其多樣性和創意亦叫人目不暇給。雖然只是彈丸之地，香港有多家米芝蓮星級食府，這裡絕對是覓食的好地方。
Ever tried a syrup-slathered French toast filled with satay beef slices? Or instant noodles dressed in a cheese sauce?
No? You haven't lived.
Take it from this city of people who are very good at eating.

10. 喜愛夜蒲 Partying so hard the neighbors want in on it

中環蘭桂坊有超過 100 家酒吧蒲場，本地及外國人都集中在這裡狂歡。蘭桂坊的成功更被中國其他城市借鏡。
First time visitors to Hong Kong's party area, Lan Kwai Fong, might think they've entered a time warp, suddenly appearing in Ibiza or Cancun at 9 p.m. on a Friday night.
