THE BI-MONTHLY JOURNAL OF THE BWW SOCIETY Hong Kong is 90% Chinese, but being a former British territory and a melting pot of Eastern and Western cultures, it is an ideal venue for testing a sponsorship model that was first conceptualized in a research study of Shanghai golf patrons (Tai, 2003). Hong Kong respondents had a ratio of 60.5% male to 39.5% female, revealing a higher number of female golfers compared to Shanghai’s 74.6% to 25.4% male-to-female ratio. Hong Kong spectators considered the development of public golf to be a worthy undertaking on the part of the government given the prohibitive cost of golf club membership, debentures, and greens fees. www.bwwsociety.org /feature/golf.htm   (4243 words)

Graves   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) In Hong Kong's public cemeteries, such as Wo Hop Shek Cemetery, second burial is mandatory; the remains in graves have to be dug up for relocation or cremation within a maximum period of time (normally seven years). Shortly after the cemetery opened, a patch of about a hectare was allocated to members of the Fujianese community in Hong Kong, which by the early years of this century had become sufficiently well-established to have set up their own cemetery in 1919. Hong Kong's society and economy have been transformed since the end of the Second World War, and the adoption of columbaria as the major means for providing for the dead is part of this transformation. www.stevenyoung.co.nz /chinesevoice/ChinConf/S4.html   (12391 words)
