Glad you like the pics.
Nothing to report from today. It's been a lazy one. Lunch with a friend, relaxing in my rocking chair on the balcony and some beachtime at Hung Shing Yeh. Water is still cold though. _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Hello again.
Today I went to The Peak, because I wanted to see a spooky one. Wanna join? Let`s go ...
... who stole my beloved HK?!
... thick, thick mist
... but it got better
... but I will be back when it`s clear.
Another thing I`ve found along the way
I know the pic is really bad, but it was so windy up there and the paper moved all the time.
Obviously there is some hotel project going on and our Grandmaster doesn`t like that. Me too! This is one of the loveliest spots at The Peak. I really hope they cannot go through with this plan.
Tomorrow the weather should be bad (according to the Observatory) so I will go see a movie I haven`t had the chance to see when was in Berlin: The Grand Budapest Hotel. So probably nothing to report tomorrow. _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Yitian, HK is incredible and varies everywhere. Beautiful flowers, trees, birds, skyscrapers, architecture, exciting wildlife on the islands, the most beautiful butterflies - not one of them listened to me and sat down so I could take a pic. Maybe it`s the language, I tried the slang of my hometown, high german and even cantonese, nothing.
I had thai food before, quite hot. _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish. |

Hello everyone,
I am enjoying the time in HK very much.
I just don't have enough time and facility to post photos here.
I've already met Ham from BKK and am going to see Heike.
Thank you Heike, for the very nice pictures of the peak.

Gee, mystic The Peak indeed, so foggy that you didn't see Tony running passing by . Very nice, thanks. I am also surprised to that news - I remember seeing this piece a while ago. So you did meet something about Tony, haha. Did They pin the newspaper along the path ?

They pinned the newspaper along the path along with signing sheets where people can oppose.
Sing??? me? Yitian, I want those butterflies to sit down not drop dead _________________ Water which is too pure has no fish.

Today I`ve seen The Grand Budapest Hotel. Loved it!
After that I went to 2 temples in Wan Chai. I already posted pics from one of them last year but if you`d like to see some pics from the Pak Tai temple, here we go.
Guan Gung, he has usually a red face. Honestly I like him a lot. He radiates power. I have been told the police as well as the bad guys pray to him. You also can find him in the altars of many shops.
I love those little statues under the roof of many temples.
And after the Pak Tai temple, I`ve seen The Midnight After again. Seen it at the Berlinale and had to see it again. Such a great movie.
Tomorrow, no plans - yet. Maybe Lantau.

Many thanks, busy sightseeing Heike .....a very impressive figure this Guan Gung
BTW: Like you, I really loved " The Grand Budapest Hotel" ....a very well done movie-magic....with amazing cast . As opening film of Berlinale, we maybe could askTony, how he liked ? haha....who dares to ask him ?
Enjoy the days, dear German friend
Good night~ Hong Kong |
