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
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
There was a break without any rain yesterday afternoon, so it was a good opportunity to go and see the Red Bull Flugtag myself. The only problem was that hundreds of people had the same idea, so there was a big group of people already at the location close to the central ferry piers. When… Continue reading At the Red Bull Flugtag 2014
This Monday, it's time for proper, home-cooked food. I'm not talking about my own cooking, but about Bobbi's cooking in her own, Bam's kitchen. She creates yummy dishes that cater to many tastes and requirements - not just to her teenage boys but also people that might be gluten or lactose intolerant, or just want… Continue reading Interview with Bam’s kitchen

I've already posted about a number of hikes in and out of Discovery Bay. By far the most popular one is the Mui Wo route, as it is easy to walk and only takes 1.5-2 hours. I've written about it in 2011, when I first came to Hong Kong, then in 2012 when I hiked… Continue reading Hiking from Tung Chung to Discovery Bay
After weeks of laziness I'm back on the hiking trails - and I discovered a new night hike route that I really like (I should add it to my list of favourite night hikes). It runs from Wan Chai to Aberdeen via Bennett Hill and is short (6km), but fast. The hike starts at Hopewell… Continue reading Night hike: Wan Chai to Aberdeen
Ok, I admit it - I'm a little obsessed with PMQ. It's such a great building and I love that it houses so many different shops. Even if not all of them have been opened, I walked around for two hours checking out the different outlets. The plan is that by mid-June 2014 all 100+… Continue reading Exploring the shops at PMQ
If you have read my post from the Night Market yesterday, you'll know that I've been to PMQ. That's the former police married quarters in Central, which was been reborn as a design hub. It is a very interesting building, so let me write a little bit more about it today. The original police married… Continue reading PMQ is open
