Spent a casual afternoon at the HK Science and Technology Park to do a brief study of the site for the architectural design competition.  I really like the atmosphere there, it feels just like the huge campus I spent ~8 months in working as a junior researcher for what used to be Canada’s biggest technology company.  I can totally see myself working full-time in such tech-centric environment.

HK isn’t really lacking infrastructure, but why isn’t the technology industry blossoming like the Silicon Valley?  And I don’t think HK is lacking talents either.  So, what’s missing?  Why is HK’s economy so dependent on Finance and Real-Estate?  How does the society advance by the burgeoning of those two industries?

There are just too many things I don’t understand, but better safe the questioning period till later.  There’s just about 1 week left before the submission for the competition is due, and I still haven’t started on the design.  Yet I’ll procrastinate for one more day before going full speed on this starting Monday!
