If there is one thing that has stayed the same before and during the pandemic, it is our reliance on the internet throughout our daily lives, whether it’s for entertainment such as watching Netflix or playing online games or for learning and business on online platforms. As an international finance hub, Hong Kong has always relied on the internet for trade and, to support our online reliance, we have some of the fastest internet speeds in the world. However, with working from home becoming more commonplace, we should address the elephant in the room, and that is, Hong Kong’s excellent internet is not being fully utilised throughout the city. All it takes is for someone to move into a tong lau or village house to realise that our internet is actually lacking compared to other countries. Elsewhere in the world, cities like Hong Kong that have wireless high-speed broadband can get it at almost every place of residency in the city. Therefore, as we progress in the new technological era, we should ensure that all homes have fast and stable wireless broadband, so as to allow people to study and work from home without having slow internet as a result of outdated or unpredictable 4G or 5G connections. Lee Ross, Kowloon City Mind the feelings of those who can’t leave Hong Kong Like Lee Cobaj, I also travelled about the same time to Bangkok to escape the Hong Kong mess (“What to expect when you arrive in the Land of Smiles on a holiday”, March 29 ). Although I would also say that I have been enjoying life better than when I was in Hong Kong (not difficult when you actually have things to do), I would not join in with her self-congratulatory tone, which seems so insensitive when you consider those remaining in the city who do not have the same opportunity to just up and go. Can we also not hope for more interesting journalism – an acknowledgement, for example, that we carry with us existential worries and concerns, irrespective of where we find ourselves? Or perhaps an insight into Thailand that reveals that it is not quite completely a paradise for everyone here? Gary Lancet, Bangkok, Thailand Families await reunions with pets Many families who recently relocated back to Australia from Hong Kong are suffering trauma due to not being able to bring their much loved pets back because of the lack of flights. My daughter cries herself to sleep at night as we had to leave behind our six-year-old chocolate brown Labrador, Treacle. Like many other families, we cannot afford a private charter flight for our pet and had no other option but to leave her with a foster until commercial pet flights resume. We urge airlines to resume their pet freight flights. So many Australian families are missing their pets. Ellen Hobson, New South Wales, Australia
