Icered.com
Met up with Sabina and Voon San at a place called Tango Martini which did
have decent martinis (flashbacks of San Francisco) and then on to meet Carmen
at the Icered dot-com party in Lee Gardens. Held in the middle of the shopping
arcade. But it wasn't a "party", it was more like the company Christmas
party. Raffles and an emcee and what not.
Icered is supposedly a site where Hong
Kong professionals can talk about the "goings-on" in their industries.
But according to everyone that uses it, it's mostly a gossip board where people
post up dirt on their adversaries and engage in heavy-handed mud-slinging. Sounds
like good fun... Which raises the issue of privacy and free speech... but I'm
not going to get into that right now.
After Icered it was off to Post 97, that habitual hangout for our crew of HKIS-graduates.
Except everyone there was as old as we were. Was the crowd composed of the same
people as before, now just older? Where do the high-schoolers hang out now?
Lan Kwai Fong seems more crowded to me, but maybe I'm just getting older.
