    I seen a white geezer next to the Wan Chai MTR station busking with some juggling balls - must've been a traveler that got stuck in transition over here or summin.

    There was a guy from Sai Kung who used that nick (Minibus Driver) on another HK forum a few years back. He was on some kind of anti-Western kick and had cultivated a particular hatred for Brits (his country of origin): he'd collected a number of local women and used to post their photos – wonder if it’s the same person.

    PDLM will remember him fondly if it is.

    I've sat in his minibus too and seen him driving at other times. Seems legit to me.

    SCMP ran a story on him today:

    Mr Parker (from New South Wales) moved to the city just over five years ago with his Hong Kong-born wife, Wing-ho, and their children, son Ron, five - who has an ambition to drive the 101 to Hang Hau - and daughter Annie, eight.

    The decision to move back was made so that Wing-ho - whom he met when they both got separated from a tour group in Singapore - and the children could be closer to family.

    "I'd been driving a school bus for a while, but it was only a couple of hours a day and I was quite bored," he said.

    "Then we were driving home one day when Wing saw a sign on the back of the bus asking for drivers. She suggested I give it a go, and we called up. The boss only wanted to know if I could drive, so we went for a couple of laps in the bus around Hang Hau and he said I was hired."

    yeah, i've seen him - i didn't know whether to ask for my stop in chinese or english. XD i told my boyfriend and he didn't believe me, i couldn't really see his face but his hands were very "gweilo". =p then i saw him drive by my house once when i was walking home. XD he's my own personal celebrity.
