Thanks to Yeager for aptly illustrating what the journalist was talking about.
How many pilots do you know who :
Right. As opposed to the fancy HK 'elite' who pretend to be interested in all of that because they artificially want to project an elaborate and tasteful image of themselves while playing candy crush at every occasion on their phone?
but I frankly havent met too many in my 15 years in this profession who I would describe at exactly sophisticated..
Thank God, neither have I. And come to think of it, I haven't met anyone in HK like that who wasn't just pretending out of social pressure.
If there is one place in the world, apart from California, where money doesn't mean class and sophistication, the fragrant harbour is it.
Though I have met plenty of nice, fun and very bright people I am happy to relate to as coworker. Regardless what movies they watch.
