To many people there is only his appearance along Sasha (on the occasion of the Nothern Exposure tour) coming to mind, which took place about 12 years ago.

Independent from sailing under the free-market or communist flag Hong Kong experienced a quite apparent boom which can't be ignored when strolling along the seaside promenade along Victoria Harbour. Despite being surrounded by turbo capitalism flexing its glass & steel muscles, many things that kept its Asian authenticity can be spotted among the flickering lights of an ocean of illuminated advertisings. First and foremost this authenticity is emerging from all things called freshness, steam and seafood, in short: Hong Kong's amazing Cantonese cuisine » ]]> http://www.xflo.net/en/2009/10/07/asien-verpackt-in-glas-und-stahl-hongkong/feed/ 0 http://www.xflo.net/en/2009/09/25/coldcut-modeselektor-wmf-club-berlin/ http://www.xflo.net/en/2009/09/25/coldcut-modeselektor-wmf-club-berlin/#comments Fri, 25 Sep 2009 10:34:38 +0000 xflo:w http://www.xflo.net/?p=150 If there's yet another farmer-fondled French goose passing the counter somewhere near Berlin's Kollwitzplatz and ending up in a New-Berliner's shopping cart right next to widely travelled garlic from China and morning tea picked at full moon, then it is surely one of the more extreme appearances of eco-delusions, or better to say organic food delusions.
