I’d forgotten which exit of the station we were meeting at, but he called saying he saw me outside Kee Wah Bakery and to wait there. It was humid. Briefcase-bearers clopped out of turnstiles like breeding jennets. The tannoy blared out first Cantonese, then Mandarin, and finally a British woman saying please mind the gap. Through the concourse and up the escalators, we talked about how crowded Hong Kong was. Julian said London was calmer, and I said Dublin was, too. At the restaurant he put his phone face-down on the table, so I did the same, as if for me, too, this represented a professional sacrifice. Mindful he’d be paying, I asked if he’d like water – but while I was asking, he took the jug and poured.

  • Vertical Facility List
    Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,600 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney-branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, non- governmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney-branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations.

  • Heritage Conservation Through Public Realm Improvement and Online Platform in the Smart Cultural Triangle Precinct
    Heritage Conservation through Public Realm Improvement and Online Platform in the Smart Cultural Triangle Precinct An Interactive Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By Mateo Carvajal Zhi Hui Peter Nolan Date: March 20th, 2017 Report Submitted to: Sujata Govada Urban Design and Planning Consultants International Institute of Sustainable Urbanisation Hendrik Tieben Chinese University of Hong Kong Holly K. Ault and Roger Y. Lui Worcester Polytechnic Institute Project Number: IQP-RYL-C172 Hong Kong This report represents work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects. Abstract As part of the development of the Smart Cultural Triangle Precinct (SCTP) in Hong Kong, our team worked with Urban Design and Planning Consultants Int’l and the Institute of Sustainable Urbanisation to assess and provide new ideas and visions for the creation of the SCTP. Based on our observations, interviews with professionals, survey results and desk research, we suggest that improvements be made to the pedestrian areas and open spaces within the SCTP. Improving these public areas will help to improve the value of the local built heritage as people become encouraged to explore their local community. We also provided our sponsors with suggestions for online tools to serve as a knowledge exchange platform and a way for visitors to learn and interact with the area and the activities within.

  • The Authenticity of Chinese-Styled Pastries in Bakery LEE Wing Yan, Nicole
    The Authenticity of Chinese-styled Pastries in Bakery LEE Wing Yan, Nicole The Authenticity of Chinese-styled Pastries in Bakery: Case of Tai Tung Bakery, Hong Kong LEE Wing Yan, Nicole Abstract: Among well-preserved Chinese foodways in Southern China, pastries and associated indigenous and local foodways in Hong Kong have never been discussed in the anthropological field. As the New Territories indigenous bakery, Tai Tung Bakery (Chinese: 大同老餅家) is exclusive of preserving great varieties of traditional Chinese-styled pastries, service of Mooncake Club, and practice of festive pavilion installment during Mid-Autumn Festival. Hence, this study would study the bakery in perspective of Cultural Anthropology, discussing the inclusive role of the bakery in space communities, the meanings of food and food practices preserved and transformed, and the grounded notion of authenticity, by conducting ethnographical research methods and collecting archives. Theories of Appadurai’s Social Life of Things, Bourdieu’s Practice Theory, Van der Leeuw’s Production Sequences, and concepts such as authenticity and neo-liberalism would be applied as theoretical frameworks. From the findings, different social actors have created values to the pastries through stages of production, distribution and consumption, in which the pastries themselves has defined Tai Tung Bakery as authentic retail store, in claim of unbounded political territoriality, constructing indigenous identity for Yuen Long villagers and Hong Kong identity for local residents. Correspondingly, customers’ submission to local authority and their imagination of hand-making local production exemplifies the foundation of pasties preserved in Tai Tung Bakery over generations. Background In nineteenth century, the selling of mooncakes (Chinese 月餅) from teahouses and small grocery stores went viral during Mid-Autumn Festival held on every seventh month of the Chinese lunar calendar1.
