Monday, April 30th, 2007

These two school girls were pondering what to get for lunch, and this shop owner was obviously telling them they had plenty of choices at $30 :-)

Meter

meter

I’m not sure but I guess we don’t have anymore of those coin-operated parking meter in Hong Kong. This is the new type of meter and people pay by using their saved value smartcard called Octopus Card :-)

What do you think? I think these two gentlemen absolutely knew I was just pretending to be shooting the fountain while I was zooming onto them :-)

Waiting

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

street

This is one of the most common scenes of daily life in Hong Kong and another photo taken from a bus. These girls were maids waiting for their young masters who were going to be dropped off by school bus…a good time for these ladies to get together with their friends and catch up… :-)

Yan Wo

street

I took this photo from the top deck of a bus while I was stuck in a big traffic jam in Causeway Bay. This shop is a popular place for soy milk and bean curb, in fact, I heard it has become a popular franchise store. I especially like the fried bean curb there…very tasty!!!! Happy Sunday and sorry for the late post today :-)

Kite

kite

How do you capture a flying kite in photo…I have absolutely no clue but I believe faster shutter may help in this case but still the kite isn’t quite sharp enough :-)

Dozo!

Thursday, April 19th, 2007

restaurant

At the corner of Cochrane Street and Lyndhurst Terrace is Dozo!, a Japanese restaurant painted bright red and is so eye-catching…I have’t tried it myself but this place is usually not very busy…mmm…so…:-) Btw, does anyone know what Dozo means in Japanese? I have the feeling that it means either “please” or “thank you”.

Cinema

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

cinema

I took this photo a while ago when I went to see the movie “The double life of Veronique”, one of my favorite art movies. But what I want to talk about here is really why we are not allowed to take photos in shopping malls and even cinemas these days. A staff of the cinema spotted me taking this photograph and told me I couldn’t, I asked why and she shrugged, no answer. Does anybody know why?

Double happiness

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

double happiness

The pattern on all of these nostalgic household items may look familiar to you…the double happiness is actually a mirrow image of the Chinese character “happiness” 喜, and very often it appears in wedding, banquets and anything associated with wedding. This is the show window of a wedding shop.

Fried chicken

fried chicken

I’m testing my camera’s macro function as well as preserving the memory a wonderful dinner for a friend’s birthday. This is Chinese style fried chicken and if you don’t know, that’s the head of the chicken in the background…we usually have the WHOLE chicken :-)
