Waffle on

These things are amazing.....

Toasted waffle with melted peanut butter inside

well worth joining a que for.

Tit for tat

Dont get me wrong i love the Kong. But sometimes wondering around this place can make your head spin. 7 million+ people all crammed into a phone box provides little personal space and the amount of shit that fills the streets becomes hard to take in. Time to retreat to the country.....

Claiming back the streets

So were into October. And with the humidity levels dropping (slowly but surely) your finally safe to go outsude again without dehydrating. God bless the winter.

First it was National Day, & then Autum festival. Cue BBQ's, flying lanterns, candle burning & the odd firework or two.

This is one addictive game

Apparently burning candles is an offence. Dont get burned.

Named & shamed

Some parents in Hong Kong seem a little misguided when it comes to naming thier children. So parents of HK, let me give you a little heads up with English names. You wouldnt want little Barbie getting bullied in school now would you?

So....... Yobie, Yoyo, Color, Smiling, Jerbie, Heaveny, Winkie, Kinkie or Vinkie and the outrageous 'Hot' are just a few names (contrary to what you may been told / seen on TV) that never have and probably never will be commonly delt English names. Happy parenting though!

The land of a thousand collaborations

Thriller night

Saturday night. Hong Kong's best party district. Michael Jacksons birthday = Dannccceee offff!


Slighty bizare watching 50+ teenagers knock out dance moves whilst intoxicated, but funny none the less.

Press play....

Hard as nails

With the lack of a decent state pension for some of the elderly in Hong Kong (or in some cases lack of children to look after them) many of the elderly are forced to collect cardboard (or anything else they can gather up) in return for money. And not a great deal of money as far as I'm aware.

As if rummaging around in rubbish bins wasn't degrading enough, they've also got to pile it all together and weave through bustling crowds with carts sometimes stacked higher than themselves. Oh and not forgetting a little added 33 degrees and 90% humidity too. I should of really took more pics before posting this, but if your out & about in HK then your sure to see it. The true work horses of Hong Kong.

In the world of cardboard collecting its survival of the fittest..... Would your Grandma survive?
