For three days starting March 26 and ending
March 28, the "Hong Kong Sevens Tournament", a rugby football event,
was held in Hong Kong. It is a leading fixture in the international rugby calendar.
During the event, many rugby manias gather in Hong Kong from around the world
(especially from Europe), and they root for their home team's players with enthusiastic.
Under such situation, Hong Kong's hotels were also surely jam-packed at the
time.
Mr. Keisuke Goto, the Accounting and Finance Dept., visited PCL between March
25 and 27 to support the group's consolidated closing of accounting. However,
he had to fight desperately to book for a hotel room, and he cried "a hotel
room that previously cost HK$1,300 was now costing HK$1,500! (Note: He usually
books for the hotel room at about HK$700.)" Possibly, he was the only person
in the world blaming on the Hong Kong Sevens Tournament.

Just around then, the chief editor was participating in a rugby
school held by one of the most famous Japanese rugby team. The team is owned
by the beer company, SUNTORY. In the rugby school, he had firsthand experience
of the basic movements of rugby such as scrums, tackles, passes and kicks, and
worked up a good sweat. After the rugby school, he joined the plant tour of the
SUNTORY brewery, and enjoyed the fresh beer just freshly made at the plant.
