香港人對私樓的負擔水平,通常是以入息中位數的家庭,以每月的收入多少百分比用作供樓去計算,以東亞銀行去年九月的一份報告指出,去年首季一個處於入息中位數的家庭——以私人樓宇住戶入息中位數計,約為每月二萬四千元,要負擔一個四百八十四方呎(實用面積)單位供樓支出,等於每月收入約百分之四十二,這個負擔水平仍屬於「可承受水平」,因為警戒線是百分之五十;而九七年樓價處於最瘋狂的年代,供樓負擔水平高達百分之八十,即一個家庭要用八成收入供樓,「苦不堪言」是明顯不過的。東亞銀行的報告又指出,一個四百五十呎的單位在○九年價值約為二百五十二萬,相當於中位數住戶入息的八點七倍,即樓價等於家庭八點七年收入的總和,而九七年的高位是九點三倍。

潮文共賞... 地產業界料樓價續飆年內破97高位- 香港文匯報 2011-01-25

本港樓價是否偏高?瑞銀投資研究執行董事王震宇用「數字分析」指仍健康,更預期樓價兩年內可以再升33%,中原樓價指數今年內可突破100(97高峰),2012年底達120點。他指目前利率極低,一般租金回報率扣除按揭息口成本後仍有2.11%,即使利率升2厘,租金回報率亦只跌至0,而97高峰期按息高達9.3%,實際租金回報率為-5.34%,可見目前本港樓價仍然合理。而且,本港借貸比率偏低,樓市風險極低。至於窮人買樓難,王震宇認為「低增值人士」應該離開香港,以騰出空間讓高增值人士來港。

Beer shake-up
Robert Cookson in Hong Kong / Published: January 11 2011 18:49 | Last updated: January 11 2011 18:49

Tsingtao Brewery, China’s biggest beer company, is seeking shareholder approval to dismiss its foreign auditors and rely solely on mainland Chinese auditors and accounting standards to prepare its financial statements. The move would make it the first Chinese group listed in Hong Kong to stop using the territory’s auditors and accounting standards.

This is a good read, you just need to spend 2 hours and you could review all recent hot issues, and how the physical location shape them. But take good care on the facts and map location, there are quite a few careless mistakes.

If you only have time to read one book in 2011 and want to keep updated on news, this would be what I recommended. There is only few copies left in HK, be quick to buy.

A few days ago, news broke that pop star Ayumi Hamasaki had married Manuel Schwarz, an Austrian actor. It’s been a top story on the TV news broadcasts ever since, with the press following their every move:

Japanese pop singer Ayumi Hamasaki married U.S-based Austrian actor Manuel Schwarz on Saturday in a church ceremony in the United States, her office said Sunday.

Hamasaki, 32, and Schwarz, 30, met last August in Los Angeles when she made a promotional video for her song “Virgin Road,” in which he played her bridegroom, the office said earlier.

Schwarz lives in Los Angeles.

援交告白
作者: 李奕 / 出版: 意象創意 / 出版日期: 2011/01

To be frank, the publisher really knows how to do marketing. This book is actually without worthwhile or insider content. It is just an interview of 3 prostitutes. Anyway, here is some fun facts:

1a. How much do they earn?

16 - 20 years old: HK$1600 / hour / Q (Or HK$2500 / 2 hours / 2Q)
Over 20 years old / fat / is not pretty: HK$1200 / hour / Q

HK$2500 / 3P / hour / Q

Phototaking without further actions: HK$20

1b. How much you need to pay?

The hotel fee on top of the cost in 1a.

2. What if you do not like them when you see them (彈鐘)?

You need to pay HK$100 for the "delivery" (車馬費), even if you do not take any service.

3. What service do they offer?

Usually only ML, no BJ or HJ.

4. Where do they usually done the trade?

Hourly love hotel, like Victoria or Park or Romantic or Santiago or Kent. See this for the rating and exact location. Or see this video introduction by Vienna Lin.

5. How could you find them?

On forum 援交區, then MSN, then phone.

6. Who usually find them?

Uncles aged over 40s or fat or ugly or young techie like geeks.

7. What do young people think of 援交?

Nearly 40% young people (aged 12 - 20 years old) think 援交 is ok, the youngest is 11 years old.

The above info is from this book, no personal experience involved. And I do not have any intention or experience on this topic. haha.
