************************************************************
Three MTR trains, wrapped with the emblems, slogans, mascots and the 22 competition events of the Hong Kong 2009 East Asian Games (EAG), have started services this week to help publicise the EAG.
Decorated with graphics of the EAG mascots "Dony" and "Ami" displaying the 22 competition events, the visually attractive trains are running along the Island Line, Kwun Tong Line and Tsuen Wan Line to raise public awareness of the games and to enlist public support and participation.
Dony and Ami images have also been plastered on both sides of the train doors of these decorated trains to greet passengers entering and alighting the train compartments.
The Hong Kong International Airport has also been dressed up since mid-August with EAG banners and display boards, including in the arrivals hall and baggage hall, to spread the message to overseas visitors that Hong Kong is the host of the 5th EAG.
