Madrid conquers Hong Kong
East meets West as the streets of Hong Kong are filled the lively musical sounds with a Spanish beat. It seems Hong Kong has fallen in love with Paella, Rioja wine, and the flamenco. According to Reuters, Hong Kong admires the passionate lifestyle of the Spanish and its distinct tastes and sounds.
The infatuation is so strong that Spanish officials have budgeted $900 million dollars to promote their culture in Beijing. The Spanish government sees this as an opportunity to lure Chinese tourists and investors to the beaches of Barcelona and Madrid. ¶ 6/26/2008
