Hong Kong botanical garden and zoo

I like the pixelation effect off the grid fence of the American flamingos.

Old people in hk

Hong Kong is a strange place. Old people continue working. Most people work 6 days a week. Most singles wouldn't be able to pay for their own apartment. 30-40 square meters is normalish size for family upto four people.

A person from China, who by no means are rich commented on the fact that so many old people work in Hong Kong: shouldn't they be in the park walking a dog or something. In China you take care of your parents. The children are the retirement. In Hong Kong which on surface looks like modern society on many ways is seemingly stuck in the 50ies. People in China usually work only 5 days.

Giant Buddha

At top of the big stairway is the giant Buddha statue. Can you see it? At this time of year it is very foggy on lantau island. Tonight I'm staying over at a temple here. Had a delicious dinner made by the Vietnamese monk.

Shenzhen

Many people say they don't like Shenzhen. I think most are from Hong Kong. I think one can choose to think the worst of something if one wants to but I always enjoy...

Tea in the park

Just some day in Shenzhen. It's just s bus ride away... Some parts of hk is further away.
