24 to 1 feb 2008, hong kong


星光大道 - my favourite movie artiste and director - michael hui
after 8 years, here we are again...
sk and rodney
Rodney brought us to Tsim Sha Tsui harbour (尖沙咀) to watch the daily 8pm award winning laser show. music was played and the lasers from the commercial buildings across synchronised with it.
a last look at my broken umbrella. it has accompanied me this far since the start of this trip. some parts broke due to big rain and strong wind...
the Wishing Tree (林村许愿树) is now an old tree supported by wooden sticks with no "wishes" on it. before, it used to have many strips of yellow papers with names and wishes written on them. as the tree gets older and overloaded with paper wishes, the authorities decided to protect the tree from falling by removing all the paper wishes and ban anyone from throwing wishes on it... perhaps until it gets well again?
this japanese restaurant (大寿司), located near Shau Kei Wan, offers big and good servings of sashimi and sushis. each person has to spend at least HKD 100 (=SGD 20).

high rise flats and apartments can be seen everywhere in hong kong. houses are relatively small, compare to singapore, and they are generally much more expensive.
minghui, laurien, sk and me, waiting for wanton mee to be served
2008 is the rat year
do not trespass


some doors to the houses were extremely narrow... and the houses were made of alumimium or some kind of metal. can they keep warm during winter season?
