Ignorant me... I have never explored the depths of the Pedder Building. Hence I have never come across the gallery of Lehmann Maupin. What a shame! I was pleasantly surprised by the exhibition of new paintings by British artist Billy Childish. This is his first show in Hong Kong and I loved how the large-scale… Continue reading Art exhibition: Billy Childish at Lehmann Maupin
I enjoy exploring art galleries - but I often ran out of time to see all the current shows and exhibitions. So I was lucky that all the rain had cut short one of my hikes (a repeat of Wilson Trail Stage 3 with my friend Monica) so I could visit the Pearl Lam Galleries… Continue reading Art exhibition: Spiritual as Mountains at Pearl Lam Galleries
I'm always a big fan of the Pearl Lam Galleries in Hong Kong, they put on such great and fun exhibition (for example the Jim Lambie exhibition earlier this year). Just before Christmas I went to see Yinka Shonibare's exhibition there, which runs until January 9, 2014. This is the first solo exhibition in Hong… Continue reading Art exhibition: Yinka Shonibare at Pearl Lam Galleries
Not just the Central Ferry Piers are relatively new (at least to me), also the whole esplanade that's currently opened between Central and Admiralty. Next year, it will be going all the way from Sheung Wan to Wan Chai and it's a nice alternative to walk next to the harbour instead of the road. After… Continue reading Central Waterfront Promenade
Despite all the Christmas decorations… it's still very mild in Hong Kong. We still have temperatures around 20 degrees with amazing blue sky and sunshine. The weather is better now than it was in May and June this year. On the first December weekend I was walking around the Central Ferry Piers and decided to… Continue reading Central Ferry Piers 9 and 10

Opened in 1948, the Hollywood Road staple juices around 100 sugar cane stocks a day, using the same machine that’s been functioning for more than… Continue reading Kung Lee Sugarcane Juice
For a really strange and bizarre reason I thought I had blogged about this already - the Hong Kong Maritime Museum. But when I looked through my posts this year, I could not find it. I must have dreamt that I had already written about it! So here is it, the forgotten-to-write-about-this-in-April blog post about… Continue reading Hong Kong Maritime Museum
It took me almost 20 months to figure out that there is something unique about Duddell Street, a small street that I have walked past so many times already... on the way to the Hong Kong Park, back from the Peak tram, a work lunch with Patrick (back in 2011 his office was located in… Continue reading What is so unique about Duddell Street?
Now that Patrick and I both are enjoying photography more and more we go out frequently with our cameras to hunt for great pictures. On one occasion we noticed it was a really hot and sunny day, with clear views - but we had plans to meet with our friends for drinks and then later… Continue reading Star Ferry and Sunset
