Disneyland Hong Kong Isn't Such A Small World After All
Disney seems to have decided where its future lies, and surprisingly it's in the one major country that isn't convulsing from an economic disaster. A couple weeks ago we posted about how the Corporation is building an entire new theme park in Shanghai, China, with a projected opening date somewhere of 2015.

If Yan Can Cook And Visit Hong Kong, So Can You
If you could practically taste the soy sauce while watching cheerful celeb chef Martin Yan whip up stir-fry on his cooking show Yan Can Cook, head to Hong Kong on a five-day epicurean trip from Oct. 27 to 31 to learn from the master of regional Chinese cuisine himself.
For $2,860 (for double occupancy; the price is based on departure from L.A. or San Fran), the AsiaLuxe Holidays package includes airfare for either Cathay Pacific or Singapore Airlines and a stay at the Kowloon Shangri-La.

The general conscience about “Push” is that overall the movie sucked but its location was pretty cool. The film stars Dakota Fanning and Chris Evans as two young Americans with special abilities, searching for a girl that can help them defend themselves against a shady U.S. government agency called Division. Set and filmed entirely in Hong Kong, the gorilla-style film techniques used to capture the authenticity of the city totally pay off. If you find yourself wanting to catch the next flight to Hong Kong after watching "Push" (which you will) here’s what to do when you get there.
Where to Stay:
The Langham Hong Kong is the epitome of luxury. They recently renovated all 270 rooms to include amenities like 37-inch flat-screen TVs, silk drapes, burled timber and leather walls, large open bathrooms, even larger living rooms, DVD players and iHome audio docks. You can even make a reservation via Skype. The best part though, has to be their current prices. Right now, room rates start at $203 a night. It looks like the recession really is affecting everyone.
