“Without really thinking about it, we have come to assume that a flushing toilet is one of the basic requirements of an urban setting and one of the symbols of an advanced society.” argues Gonçalo Santos who also points out that “It is not clear that dumping excreta into any convenient body of water is the best way to handle local and global sanitation problems. We assume that flushing and forgetting rid us of the problem, when we have only compounded it by moving it to another place.”
In a talk co-presented by The Hong Kong Anthropological Society and The Hong Kong Museum of History and drawing on historical and anthropological research on the origins and the spread of the flush toilet globally, Gonçalo Santos talks about the rise of modern sewerage systems and their impact on society.

The Asia Society Hong Kong is holding a food festival on Sunday 12 January, 2014 to explore the cultural significance of food, particularly rice, from a variety of sociocultural anthropological perspectives. Join artists, writers, culinary experts and scholars to explore eating as a social activity which reflects social and personal identity. Using all types of rice – including blue rice – as a starting point, the two-part one day festival will explore food as a conduit bringing cultures together, a collective narrative about place and time, desire, satiety, heritage and changing traditions.
The full day event is split into two sections: a morning panel discussion starting at 10:15am and an afternoon food tasting & cooking demonstrations from 1pm.
The Beer Garden at Happy Valley Racecourse is well regarded as Hong Kong Island’s most happening midweek hotspot for international entertainment. For the next three Wednesdays in a row, fans can enjoy Music Rocks the Valley parties on the racenights of 8, 15 and 22 January.
This year’s Music Rocks the Valley parties will welcome world-renowned DJ Ricky Stone, who will be playing the latest sounds on all three Happy Wednesday nights. DJ BZ Li will join Ricky and hit the stage on 22 January.
Adding to the party vibe will be live performances from up-and-coming Welsh singer-songwriter Ben Semmens and his band, plus a team of famous dancers strutting their stuff to the music.
