The Hong Kong and Chinese flags fly side by side above the former British colony's Legislative Council building. Far higher, between them, sits the banking logo for HSBC. Money and trade has forever been the lifeblood of this great city.

In #Danang, lucky to bump into longtime IndoChina friend and colleague @jimlaurie.bsky.social who was in the middle of a compelling series of cruise talks on Asia with www.seabourn.com/en. Next stop #hongkong. His evocative Last Helicopter is vivid and brilliant.

The Year of the Horse represents Movement, Vitality and Forward Momentum, powerful symbolism for a new cycle. Confidence. Optimism. Charisma. — which makes it a powerful symbol for a new cycle -- as the saying goes, Success arrives with the Horse. Have a good year, one and all.

From 1950-1970, Soviet Union shot down 20 + American planes. Outside Korean War, U.S. shot down only one Soviet plane. Why? U.S. rules of engagement are much tighter and fear of triggering a nuclear war. A nugget from www.alaskaveterans.org

The Trump-Putin summit brings awareness of the U.S.-Russian border. In these two photos by Poulomi Basu, a Little Diomede islander checks a military watchtower on Russia’s Big Diomede Island. The border, and the international dateline, runs between the islands which are only 2.4 miles apart.

A rare photo by JoAnn Kaningok of Russian helicopter over Big Diomede island on U.S. border. Civilians were moved off in 1948. It’s now a Russian outpost with a helicopter base. JoAnn took the shot from her civilian American island of Little Diomede less than three miles away.

The Trump-Putin summit shines a spotlight on the U.S.-Russian border where the distance between two nuclear powers is 2.4 miles -- not 51 miles as widely reported. Poulomi Basu's photo shows Russia Big Diomede island on left and U.S. Little Diomede civilian village on right.
