Long ago, during the years after the Vietnam war, a baby girl was chloroformed. Her parents, emigrating in the dead of night - feared the coast guard would capture them if their baby cried. So she was chloroformed and they sailed to Hong Kong. While at the harbour the dad was on the dock. The mom, carrying the chloroformed baby girl on the boat, realized that the boat behind them was catching fire. She panicked. She gave a crazed look at the dad, and the dad, knowing his wife for a little while now, said... oh crap. That's when the mom threw the girl. If the dad did not extend his arms to catch the chloroformed girl, she would not be alive today.
Years later the baby girl's sister would be flying back to Hong Kong.
I asked my dad if he could bring me to the spot where mom threw my sister - but he said that the harbour was a make-shift harbour at the time, it extended deep into the ocean/sea/water area. It would not exist today. My dad didn't like Hong Kong back then - saying the people there were rude - let's hope that this trip will prove that statement wrong - we had trouble convincing him to go back to Hong Kong.
