When night falls, shopping begins! That makes sense to me. If shops only opens during regular business hours, who has time to shop?
There are lots of old buildings in Hong Kong. I think the most interesting ones are the corner buildings with a round corner on every floor. These buildings are pretty old, and most are not tall at all. I would guess they are 50 to 60 years on average. I hope they will preserve these buildings are they are much more interesting than the new taller highrises built these days. Here are some photos of the corner houses I took while I was in Hong Kong.
During my trip to Hong Kong, I had a chance to visit Lamma Island. Lamma Island used to be a small fishing island, producing lots of pawn paste and other sun dried seafood. I used to despise the smell of the seafood hanging to dry up and be preserved by salt. Now, I don’t find it offensive anymore probably because my nose doesn’t work as well anymore :P
Hong Kong used to be a colony of United Kingdom. Even today, you can find lots of British influence. Above is the Queen Victoria statue located at Victoria Park. The most memorable event in Victoria Park for me is the Chinese New Year Eve celebration. There are rows and rows of flower markets held at the park. Even at very cold temperature, there would still be a lot of people crowding up to get flowers for the new year. For kids, like me back then, they would be there trying to look for toys for the new year. Good times :P
Other than using an iPhone 3GS, the Lumix GF2 is the other photo equipment I brought along on my trip to Hong Kong. Here are some of the photos I took during the trip.
Since I was already in Hong Kong, the chances of getting Japanese goods were very good. There were lots of Japanese food to choose from. Even though it was not like actually visiting Japan, I was satisfied with the choices available.
These photos were taken using an iPhone 3GS with Camera+.
In Hong Kong, there is no surprise to see tall apartment buildings. Also if you want to look at the sky, you would have to look straight up as most buildings would block you from looking at the sky if you don’t raise your head.
