For the Chinese, the number four (四 SÌ) is the unluckiest of all numbers because of its homophonous resemblance to the word for ‘death’ (死 SǏ). For this reason, many skyscrapers in Chinese cities like Hong Kong and Shanghai omit floor numbers with the number four (i.e. 4, 14, 24 etc.), resulting in a situation where a building with up to 50 floors on its elevator display might actually be ‘only’ 35 floors high. I kind of like this numbers stuff. Way back in 1989 I had a summer fling who was seriously into Chinese astrology and numerology. On her recommendation, I read some books on the topic and learnt that I was born in the year of the rat and my life path number is three. Now this path of three has reached 44. With four being such an unlucky number, you’d assume that 44 would be spelling absolute disaster. For the Chi- nese this is true, they translate 44 as 垂死和死亡, dying and dead. But I’m not Chinese — although the Lao government seems to be of a different opinion and recently adorned my work permit with “race: Chinese” — and from the numer- ology books I read when I was 17, I recall that a multi-digit number should always be simplified to a single one. For the number 44 this means that 4 + 4 = 8 and eight happens to Marko van Gaans |In the Moment be the luckiest number for the Chinese! That’s not too bad, a double negative becomes a positive (i.e. -2 x -2 = 4), finally mathematics makes some sense! I have decided that, for this reason, this is a phoenix year for me. The past 24 years have been quite a roller- coaster ride and during the last couple of years things have been on a downward slide. I’ve kind of lost track of who I am and where I come from. It’s time to rise from the ashes and start climbing again! In an effort to do just that, I spent the past year reliving some my life’s most defining moments through music and writing. The stories that follow this one are the details, the bigger picture is as follows: When I was 20, in the summer of 1992, I was very un- happy. I hated the business college I was attending and had absolutely no idea as to what to do with my life once I finished there. All I knew was what I didn’t want. Then a young Danish psychology student appeared seemingly out of thin air and started messing with my mind. She introduced me to existentialist philosophers like Kierkegaard and Sartre and kept asking me why I did things I didn’t want to do? Who was in control of my life? We talked continuously and in the span of just a couple of days I really got to know myself. One night we went to a bar where I simply told the bartender how much money I had on me and to keep serving us drinks until that ran out. He happily complied. Then, as suddenly as she had appeared, she vanished. It’s amazing how people manage to jump in and out of your life at the exact right time. She had gone back to Denmark from where she sent me a poem which started with the line: “Smyge mig som støv i alle revner og hjørner,” Nestle me like dust in all cracks and corners. This resonated with me. 12 Far l’Amore (Smyge Mig Som Støv) I shouldn’t be doing whatever was expected of me, I should be stirring up the dust caused by new experiences, avoid any ‘I wish I had…’ moments later in life and relish the dust which over time would nestle itself into the cracks and corners of my existence. I had to take control of my own life and so I left the business college, even though this meant being drafted into the army. The eight years that followed — one as a conscript and seven as a professional non-commissioned officer — were the sheer definition of an adventurous rollercoaster ride. Among many other things, I learnt how to drive a tracked Armoured Personnel Carrier, blew stuff up, spent time in war-torn Bosnia-Herzegovina, climbed mountains all over Europe, skydived in Thailand, scuba-dived in Mexico and generally travelled to foreign countries as often as possible. It was quite a ride! Because I chose short-term contracts, I was able to move from the infantry to the artillery and fi- nally to a drones unit of the military intelligence. But in early 2001 I had to make a choice; either sign a contract till pension or quit. With today’s hindsight of what a mess the world has become since September 2001, I can safely say I made the right choice in leaving the army. I now had two options: do the sensible thing and find a steady new career or take my savings and go on a round- the-world trip. In line with my Smyge mig som støv men- tality, I chose the latter. I’d met too many senior NCOs in the army talking about their plans for after retirement and too many retired ones who also once had those same plans, but hadn’t fulfilled any, nor were they planning to.

    an APPETITE for LAOS The complexity, grace, and taste of Luang Prabang unfurl one delicious bite at a time The Nam Ou river was once a major transport route, bringing people and produce from northern Laos to Luang Prabang.

Its scent is ISN’T A DOOR. sublime and earthy, hot and sour. The fragrant plume comes with a peppery kick. The sensation is vivid, somehow poignant, and utterly transporting. IT’S A BOWL The memory brings a smile as I stand in a line of passengers at Luang Prabang airport, in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. I’ve traveled OF SOUP. 9,000 miles to Southeast Asia inspired by Van Nolintha, a charismatic 32-year- old Laotian-American restaurateur in Raleigh, North Carolina, whose inventive renditions of his child- hood dishes from his native land have earned the acclaim of diners and food critics alike. Now I’ve come for a taste of the real thing. Upon leaving the airport, my first views of Laos are the Phou Thao and Phou Nang mountain ranges, which surround the ancient royal city of Luang Prabang like an embrace. The slopes are lush with trees that comb and catch the low-lying clouds. As I enter the city, a cluster of motorbikes overtakes my taxi, trailing fumes and impatience. A teenage girl, sitting sidesaddle in a Laotian silk tube skirt called a sinh, flashes past.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS AND KEY ISSUES 4. POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS REFERENCES ABBREVIATIONS 1 1. Introduction 1.1 Background 1.1.1 The HK2030: Planning Vision and Strategy (Main Study) is a strategic planning study tasked with preparing a strategic land use planning framework for Hong Kong for a period of 30 years. It will address ‘how much, what type and where land for development should be provided’. 1.1.2 The Government is committed to supporting and promoting sustainable development and to this end major policy and strategy initiatives must undergo a sustainability assessment. Under the overall goal of adhering to the principle of sustainable development, a planning objective of the HK2030 Study is to provide a good quality living environment. To achieve this, we need to strike a balance in the demand for, and supply of, environmental resources and a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is being undertaken as an integral part of the HK2030 Study. 1.1.3 To put the SEA into context, it is important to note that the Main Study involves four key stages of work viz: Stage 1: Agenda Setting, Baseline Review and Identification of Key Issues Stage 2: Examination of Key Issues Stage 3: Formulation and Evaluation of Scenarios and Options Stage 4: Formulation of Development Strategies and Response Plans 1.1.4 The SEA is being integrated with the Main Study by providing environmental input at all stages.

    LAOS Capital: Vientiane Language: Lao Population: 6.6 million Time Zone: EST plus 11 hours Currency: Kip (LAK) Electricity: 230V/50H Fun Facts ● Laos, particularly Luang Prabang, is considered the “culinary jewel” of southern Asia. Cooks traditionally don't waste any of their resources, but they make the absolute most of local fare. ● According to legend, the Buddha smiled when he rested in what is now Luang Prabang for a day during his travels, prophesying that it would one day be the site of a rich and powerful capital city. ● Bikes and motorbikes are some of the most common vehicles in Luang Prabang. In fact, it is not uncommon to see a parent with two or three kids all piled on a motorbike – it’s the family station wagon. ● Laos’ most famous product is Beerlao. It is regarded as one of the best beers in Asia grown from jasmine rice and hops imported from Germany. Laos is a jewel of Asia – sacred and spiritual. It has a long history of turmoil, having suffered hundreds of years of attack, war, dependence on other nations, and oppression from foreign governments. But with this arduous history behind them, Laos has blossomed into one of the most beautiful and culturally fulfilling countries in Asia. Much of Laos is farming countryside and thickly forested mountains, but the prominent Mekong River flows directly through its heart – right through Luang Prabang. Luang Prabang is not the heart of Laos because it sits directly in the center of the country, but because it is a spiritual beacon among Asian nations, capturing the essence of its enduring Buddhist beliefs and the overwhelming humanity of its people.
