The government has done a good job by culling all the chickens on the infected farm in Yuen Long. But I think they should compensate the farm owners, otherwise they may feel angry.

The green taxi drivers have been angry. I think they are right to fight for their living, but the means they employed were a little extreme. They should not blockade the roads, which led to a traffic standstill. This caused great inconvenience to many people.

But the red taxi drivers who joined in were the bad guys. They must be those discount drivers who offer 20 per cent off to customers. Of course they do not want the new fare structure; it puts us on par with them. They are like thieves pretending to have been robbed. Bargaining and offering discounts are illegal, and they are taking all our profits away.

When I got my taxi licence I was told that taxi drivers should not give any discounts. If this policy could hold, I don't think we would need to have any fare adjustments. Now the government is doing the equivalent of forcing proper CD stores to sell pirated CDs - they failed to catch the lawbreakers, so they gave up and asked us to be one of them too.

It is true that we are making more money these days, but it's not because of the fare change. Rather, the drop in gas prices of about HK$1.30 or HK$1.40 a litre has made our lives a lot easier.

The four-day computer street festival in Sham Shui Po attracted a large crowd. I did not bother to go because I am not tech-savvy at all. On the first day, I was not aware that so many people would come and was trapped in the traffic for over an hour. So in the following days I did not dare to drive near that area.

On the other hand the astronauts did not attract as many people. It seemed that they came and went without being noticed. When Yang Liwei , the first Chinese astronaut, visited Hong Kong it seemed that our residents were more enthusiastic. But perhaps these people have come too often; first it was Yang Liwei, then Fei Junlong and Nie Haisheng . To me, they are all astronauts and I can't tell the difference. After all, the Americans landed on the moon decades ago. We are not doing anything new; it merely shows that China is becoming stronger and stronger.

The same applies to those Olympic gold medallists. They visit Hong Kong too often and we have lost interest already. I am getting old. A person of my age is more concerned about earning money to support a living after retirement, and I wouldn't give priority to anything else.

The attack by panda An An on an Ocean Park staff member has become headline news. I think it was only an accident because pandas normally do not bite people. Perhaps the worker did something strange and the panda interpreted it as a hostile sign.

I have never visited the pandas but I am not worried about visiting them in future. We would be standing a certain distance away from them and they would not be able to attack visitors.

The mainland is considering banning the Taiwanese movie Cape No7. I don't think it is necessary and actually it is not a big deal. The movie is about love relationships between Chinese and Japanese people, and I think intercultural marriage is a very common phenomenon. Many mainlanders are familiar with this issue - some of them marry foreigners too.
