editor’s letter It’s beginning to look a lot like…. too soon? Okay I’ll wait another month. While Christmas is almost around the corner, we need to get through November first, with the city back on track there is so much going on this month we almost didn’t have room to fit it in. Firstly, Hong Kong Academy is celebrating its 20th anniversary this month, starting from humble beginnings on Stubbs Road, the school has come a long way and wants to make the occasion special. Read all about its plans to celebrate in our cover story (page 20). Another month, another awards ceremony (we love celebrating at Hong Kong Living). This month we turned our attention to the restaurant industry, while this year has been a struggle for them, many have adapted their strategies and come out stronger. See the highlights from the awards in our dining section (page 24). November also marks the birthday of Tin Hau Temple, as a staple part of the town, the temple has called Sai Kung home for 104 years. Learn more about its history and the copper bells in our Sai Kung secrets (page 29). Enjoy the cooler months and let the countdown to Christmas begin.
