Yesterday I watched a special TV program about light pollution. I had heard of air pollution, water pollution and sound pollution. This was the first time I heard about light pollution. Anyway, one of the results of light pollution is that people can no longer enjoy seeing the beautiful stars. I totally agree because the city light prevents me from seeing the starry night in Hong Kong. I know it can be very beautiful because I had the chance of seeing the wonderful starry night in North Cape of New Zealand in Feb 1999. On that particular trip, 硬漢 and I travelled to the northern tip of North Island, our car had a small accident and we were forced to stay in a remote countryside with virtually no light at all. Yet, I was pleased to see the beauty of the stars which I would otherwise never be able to see.
