Editor's note
Here�s a little history for you. In 1842, Hong Kong was handed over by the Chinese to the British, under whose rule the island fell for 155 years. Those with long memories may remember when it was handed back in 1997.

Chatroom : FEAR OF FLYING
Dear Editor. My name is Jeffrey Gabe and I�m both a teenager and a student.
I�d like to talk to you about something � fear of flying. How can anyone like flying? Birds fly, people don�t, and I hate flying. You wait for hours for the plane to take off and it�s often late. The plane�s always crowded, you can�t walk around and there�s nothing to do. You can�t open the windows and can�t get off. The seats are uncomfortable, there�s no choice of food and there are never enough toilets. Then, after the plane lands it�s even worse. It takes hours to get out of the airport and into the city.
