Panda-monium in Hong Kong.. Pandas An An and Ke Ke, a gift from Beijing to Hong Kong, arrived in the Chinese territory on Thursday to much fanfare, with officials welcoming them at the city's international airport with a red carpet on the tarmac and panda toys. The Sichuan-born male and female will increase the total number of pandas to six, the highest ever in the financial hub. Some lawmakers called on the government to use the animals to boost tourism and create a "panda economy" by building themed promotions and infrastructure. The five-year-old pair will be housed at the city's Ocean Park theme park and remain out of the public eye until December, officials said, so they can get used to their new habitat. Hong Kong leader John Lee said the pandas would soon receive new names through a public contest organised by the government. Workers at Ocean Park have prepared a giant enclosure for the new arrivals complete with bamboo leaves planted in Guangdong province. An An and Ke Ke's arrival comes just after resident giant panda Ying Ying gave birth to twin cubs ahead of her 19th birthday. She was the oldest panda on record to have successfully given birth for the first time, Ocean Park said. The cubs are still under intensive care and are expected to make their public debut in a few months. #pandas #china #hongkong #animals #oceanpark #environment #wildlife #travel #tourism #economy

As highlighted by some observers, soft power implies attention, and with greater exposure to global audiences the higher the chances that less appealing aspects of a country will be uncovered. South Korea’s recent political debacle will not break but certainly ‘shake’ the country’s image and reputation. #softpower #southkorea #internationalrelations

This sounds exactly like a policy that should be implemented in Japan—logical, rational and being introduced on a test basis. Unfortunately, that is probably why it won’t happen. Neither the central nor local governments in Japan have the vision to come up with thoughtful policies to solve real problems and test the efficacy before spending huge money on implementation of what usually turns out to out to be useless programs.

Hong Kong: How Hong Kong Built the World's Best Transit? Hong Kong’s transit system is a global benchmark for efficiency, accessibility, and integration. Here’s how it stands out: Efficient Design: The MTR (Mass Transit Railway) covers 90% of the city, with trains running every few minutes. Financial Sustainability: Unlike many transit systems, MTR operates profitably. It achieves this by coupling transit operations with real estate development, turning stations into commercial hubs. Seamless Connectivity: A single Octopus card connects trains, buses, ferries, and even retail stores, simplifying travel for residents and tourists. Punctuality & Reliability: With a 99.9% on-time rate, MTR minimizes delays and enhances commuter trust. Future-Ready Innovation: Investments in technology, smart stations, and sustainability ensure the system adapts to growing demands. Hong Kong’s approach offers valuable lessons for cities worldwide striving for greener, more efficient urban mobility. Let me know what you think! 🚆✨ #UrbanMobility #SmartCities #Innovation
