Walking through Sham Shui Po is a foodies mecca - there are so many different things to try here, it's incredible. Even without eating a breakfast in the morning I did not manage to try all those tasty things around me! There were lots of shops selling bbq meat - of course, char siu is… Continue reading Food in Sham Shui Po
I've been lucky once... and I've been lucky twice. A few months ago I went on my first Foodie Tour around Central and Sheung Wan and I really enjoyed it. Now, a few days ago, I went on my second Foodie Tour around Sham Shui Po and really enjoyed it too! This time Silvana from… Continue reading Hong Kong Foodie Tour in Sham Shui Po
A few weekends ago I was strolling through Sham Shui Po - an area that I'm not familiar with. It is really interesting, with lots of old shops and stores, lots of street and flea markets and many local people. There were not many tourists in the area when I was walking through the streets.… Continue reading Photography: Walking through Sham Shui Po
The following pictures were taken on a cold day in Sham Shui Po - but they could have been taken in several places in and around Hong Kong. It's not an uncommon sight to see a vendor selling roasted chestnuts or even sweet potatoes, there are quite a few in Hong Kong. Often, when I… Continue reading Photography: Hot chestnut vendors

So I was very wary when we decided to visit A Lorcha, one of the famous (if not the most famous) Portuguese restaurants in Macau. When we arrived at 12:15 for lunch,… Continue reading Macau: A Lorcha
Unfortunately the typical Macau itinerary does not include the Macau Art Museum, which is really a gem. It was designed by architect I.M Pei, probably most known for Pyramide du Louvre in Paris, and features exciting exhibitions. Here's a picture looking out from the museum, towards the Grand Lapa Hotel and the Sands Casino. You… Continue reading Macau: Yue Minjun at the Macau Art Museum
I love this place. It is my favourite in Macau. The House of the Mandarin is such a beautiful piece of East meets West architecture and it has a rich history. It is the former residence of Zheng Guanying and his father Zheng Wenrui. Zheng Guanying was a member of the literati, who published several… Continue reading Macau: The House of the Mandarin
The next morning we went to visit the Rua da Felicidade. I've never been there, but I've seen some nice pictures, which made me want to visit this place for myself. This used to be the main street to the red light district in times gone by. After years of neglect this area has seen… Continue reading Macau: Rua da Felicidade
After visiting the Sun Yat Sen Memorial House and the Kun Iam Temple we just decided to stroll around Macau. We did not have any further plans that day and just enjoyed a nice afternoon/evening stroll. First up is a very typical sight in Macau - outdoor fitness equipment in bright yellow and red. There… Continue reading Strolling through Macau
