Recycle bins are common sight in Hong Kong. Here are some…
In Ocean Park…
In Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Center, Wanchai…
Foreigners in Hong Kong
Before visiting Hong Kong, I already knew that there were many Filipino workers in the Chinese territory. It turned out that there were plenty of Indonesians too.
While Filipinos congregate in Central on Sunday, Indonesians do so in Causeway Bay, not far from my hotel. I later learned that Thais meet at Tsim Sha Tsui.
Indonesians in Causeway Bay…
Hong Kong Girls
I didn’t see many pretty girls in Hong Kong. Which came as a surprise, given that the SAR was an affluent and trendy city.
Occasionally I came across pretty girls. But chances were, they were Mandarin speakers…
No Clear Sky
As an avid photographer, I like to take landscape photos with blue sky. Unfortunately, during my 8-day trip to Hong Kong, the sky was almost always shrouded in haze. The wind had blown the polluted air from Mainland China to the SAR.
Colonial Era Place Names
Unlike Malaysian Government who wasted no time to rename most of the streets after independence, Hong Kong still retains many of the colonial era place names. We came across such names like Jordan, Nathan Rd, Wellington St, Shelter St...
I suspect Hongkongese miss the days when they were ruled by the Brits, especially when the two SAR chiefs, Tung Chee Hwa and Donald Tsang, disappoint them.
wow, you are very observant huh.. the fact that filipinos gather at central is very obvious, did you see the special signboard in tagalog there asking them not to thrown rubbish everywhere?? haha~~
ReplyDeletehmmm, i would not say 港女 are generally pretty but one thing that is true is, they know how to make themselves look prettier..
ReplyDeletewell, this is the difference between MY and HK.. while they trying best to preserve the history, our government try the best to wipe off the history because they think they have been very shameful in the past.. not good not good..
ReplyDeleteAm I glad Hong Kong did not change the name of their roads. I like the names! : )
ReplyDeleteOh! I remember seeing that recycle bins at Ocean Park! : )
ReplyDeletei saw many pretty OLs! and ALL of them were armed with a branded handbag! and they tied pretty expensive (spotted chanels' and hermes')scarves on the handles!
ReplyDeleteIt's similar in Singapore, even maids from some country have mass gathering at certain places..
ReplyDeleteMalaysia could take a lesson from the recycling initiative there. We had them bins in some shopping complexes for a while but then they died a natural death. Sad.
ReplyDeleteI'm always of the opinion that there is no need to change street names. This wipes out the nations's history. Apparently, our nation does not care much for her history. Sigh.
girls in HK speak mandarin? i thought most of them are cantonese-based...
ReplyDeleteLatest: Lou Sang in Cantonese Style
There is not much difference in changing the road names as they sounded more like Cantonese anyway. Eg for Salisbury Road they said "sou-lei-si-pa-lei-tou" haha.
ReplyDeleteWhat I was hoping is, everyone utilize the recycle bins properly. Some people just simply throw whatever waste into the recycle bin without considering it can be recycled or not.
ReplyDeleteThen should be China pretty girl not hong kong pretty girl any more...
ReplyDeleteshould have more awareness on recycling..
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for info, I may add that I can invite you to stellenbosch luxury accommodation website with really precious subjects to see,

ReplyDeleteCheap flights to Kuala Lumpur travel may be viewed as a rebellious, even a subversive act, part of the process of self-actualization I travel to define and assert my existential identity. I travel. Therefore I am.
ReplyDeleteSmart and good another post admin :)
