Terminal 2 of Hong Kong International Airport
I am always in a hurry to catch the plane when I go for business trip or vacation trip. Never got time to visit the new Terminal 2. This Sunday I've taken a walk there. Just look around and get a coffee break in Tung Chung. It's a spacious and well designed terminal. There is a plane museum and a big game shop there. It's worth to pay a visit!

- NY Time said the subscription had met expectations with 227K subscribers and generating with US$10M a year, but the growth projection of subscribers were low, compared with the growth of online advertising. In the long run, advertising revenue will dominate over subscriber revenue model.
- More readers come to NYTimes.com through search engine (rather than directly on NYTimes.com) and they're not likely to be subscribers. Advertising is the best way (rather than subscription model) to monetarize the traffic.
