Wheel Envy
Amidst the construction mess along the new Central waterfront the ‘wheel of envy’ is beginning to emerge… Our ever observant politicians and the skilled marketers of the HK Tourist Board finally saw that lots of cities – not least Singapore and Shanghai – had cottoned onto the success of the London Eye and built their own, highly successful equivalent, 160m+ observation wheel.
We want one of those was the cry! But rather than take the interesting option and build a 160m+ wheel on the dead space that is the old Kai Tak – and draw tourists and businesses to the area. As well as offer a unique view of Hong Kong and the harbour… and an attractive reason for more cruise ships to stop at the empty terminal. No let’s put a mini-wheel jammed full of gondolas smack in the middle of Central. Instead of a iconic wheel soaring over Kowloon and making a statement. We have a 60m wheel dwarfed by the surrounding buildings…

University ‘Unicorns’ Rugby Football Club
The ‘Unicorns’ are a group of determined, dynamic, sophisticated (and magical) rugby playing girls who enjoy the competitiveness of the 10’s league. Since our formation in 2010, we have had a variety of different nationalities in the herd, each bringing with them diversity, experience, a range of intelligence and the odd cooled beverage.
As a team, we aim to work together to achieve success. With steady performances in the league over the last few seasons and local beach rugby competitions, the team is growing in stature and skill. The many social events the club provides also add to the sense of unity within the team, with annual tour being the highlight for many players.
We warmly invite anyone who wishes to gain rugby experience to join with us – whether complete beginner or experienced player there will be a place for you in our team. Feel free to contact us with any further questions!

Wanchai Star Ferry: Old & New
After 46 years, it’s goodbye to the Wanchai (East) Ferry Pier. The last ferry will leave at 23:00 tonight, Friday 29 August 2014. A newly built pier opens on Saturday. The old pier, which is making way for the Wanchai harbourfront development project, began service in 1968 and in its heyday, ferries plied to and from Jordan Road, Hung Hom and Tsim Sha Tsui. Today, only the Wanchai to Tsim Sha Tsui route is in operation.
The new pier is a modern version of the old – not unlike the old pier the toilets are outside the barrier. Their looks to be dinning options to come on the upper level, which will offer a gorgeous view of the harbour.
