Dear friends to be I hope----I find that spiders and ants and cockroaches will listen my speeches --which i give most days, right after cocktail time. I never kill them and i expect they will stay out of places like my bed and kitchen. They have complied up till now. Can i expect the same in Lamma?.
Also i find that patchouli oil, which i slather on my bod every day, besides pissing off my friends, seems to ward off the above plus fleas. Are the centipedes hip in Lamma--how about law enforcement?

Bobsy might have a nice shed you can sleep in. Or a teepee, but you will have to put up with the sharing sessions.
Pinky might have something similar, but she will charge you loads to have a 'house' that floods, leaks and falls down.

Talking about inflated flat prices:
Anybody notice that 2/F+rooftop, 700sqft flat Jackson property is advertising for $8,800 (or 1.5 million!) on a big sign outside his shop?
Knowing where this flat is located we looked at an almost identical rooftop flat yesterday in an identical building just a few meters away from Jackson's flat... for $5,000!
And another similar rooftop flat advertises for $4,000 on Main Street, dropping recently from $5,000.
So many empty flats around to choose from, no need ever to pay what's being asked; and deal with the landlords directly whenever possible...

Jackson is widely known to be a gouging money grabber, he always shows the rubbish first. I found the agents on main street where Nick sells the books and the one up the road towards pizza milano to be a bit better. But at the of the day they are all out maximise profits.
The Man Fung Restaurant agent (first off the ferry) is trying to let a furnish 700 square foot flat for 10.5K unfurnished it is going for 9.5K. They are just asking for a stream of time wasters to go view it  . |

Just now, I've found Jackson's website, from a listing inside a Lamma travel story in Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel magazine which I received by registered mail from the editor this morning (remember the Concigamant?? saga?):
www.LammaResort.com
The only property agent on Lamma with a website on Lamma, as far as I know. But no property listings, just contact info and no email address. Quoting from one of the grand total of two content pages:
| www.LammaResort.com wrote: | As night falls, sounds of jazz. laughter and celebrations created from the many fine dining eateries gathers the people on the Main Street.
There is only a fistfull of places in Hong Kong where magic and romance remain. Lamma Island is one of them. |
The tourism board should pay him for promoting Lamma so poetically!
But where's this jazz place he mentions?
And, more importantly, where's the "magic and romance" hiding?
