Events

On Sunday 1 June 1969 the hotel was opened with an event held between 17:30 and 19:30 and attended by around 400 guests including Tommy Chan's father Chan Wing.

During the April/May 2006 riots in Honiara, Sir Tommy Chan, owner of the Honiara Hotel, a naturalised Chinese of the Islands, the hotel and his son's shop were targeted for attack but escaped due to support from some islanders, Christian brotherhood and the police.[2]

gollark: This isn't for anything where I specifically need *sentences*, but just a reasonable bit of context around a link, so it could work to just look X words left/right instead.
gollark: Especially since I just realized another really bad one, "i.e." and such.
gollark: I checked nimble directory, but there don't *seem* to be things for this, but I was hoping someone might know where there is code for it because having to work out the edge cases myself would be bad.
gollark: I was thinking something like defining a sentence as having either an end-of-string or one of !?. at the end with a space after it.
gollark: I can probably come up with some sort of regex, but there would be annoying edge cases and stuff, so has anyone already *done* this and made a library?
