Several people had asked me how we keep a cat in our flat in Hong Kong – given that space is so limited in Hong Kong. But it is actually not a problem. If you were to ask Sam, and he could talk, he would probably say that he is happy and there is enough… Continue reading Living with an indoor cat in Hong Kong & keeping Sam safe
You probably have seen this already... but if you haven't check this out! Mark O’Leary and Aisling McDonnell spent a year ‘collecting’ all 83 Hong Kong MTR stations and published their colourful photo series online on their blog. Within days their story got viral - the SCMP covered it, it was on Wall Street Journal's… Continue reading If you are bored… visit all MTR stations
A few Saturdays ago I joined the Hong Kong Hiking MeetUp group for a hike around Mount Cameron - it was an interesting hike, as I've never done the full loop before and it also included some bushwhacking. It was totally worth it. We started at the Hopewell Centre and walked up the steep slope… Continue reading Hiking: Wan Chai loop
Hanoi should be shot in colour - and that's what I did most of the time. But there are a few shots, that actually work better in black and white. At least, that's what I'm thinking. The next shots were taken at the Quan Ba flower market, early in the morning: A popular motif are… Continue reading B&W Photography: Hanoi

However, there are a few more historic attractions that can found in the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum complex away from the Old Quarter. If you've not been there before, you should at least see… Continue reading Hanoi: Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum complex
Today I have the great honour and pleasure to feature Alan P. in Hong Kong on my blog, who has shot some of the most amazing Hong Kong street photography pictures that I've seen over the last two years. He captures every day life on the streets of Hong Kong, and it is in such… Continue reading Interview with Alan P. in Hong Kong
What I love about visiting Vietnam is that I can eat so much great food - and don't put on any weight. All the salads, rice rolls and fresh herbs are so light and tasty, most of the dishes I eat tend to be steamed or boiled and there is only little fat and oil.… Continue reading Hanoi: Street Food
Hanoi is a city for coffee lovers - there is barely a street in the capital without a café. You can get coffee at any time of the day or night, and it is usually strong, rich and with a typical nutty taste that resembles Vietnamese coffee for me. There is no Starbucks or similar… Continue reading Hanoi: Cộng Càphê’
I had not planned on actually doing a series on sleeping people at markets in Hanoi, but I encountered so many of them! That's because I went to see the Dong Xuan and Cho Hom markets in the early afternoon. The sellers were all tired from their lunch break and took a rest in their… Continue reading Hanoi: Sleeping people at markets
