We had been to Hoi An back in 2008 - and surprisingly not much has changed since then. Yes, it has become even more touristy and every house in the Ancient Town now hosts a restaurant or shop, but it still has its quiet corners that are well-worth to explore. We walked through the popular… Continue reading Hoi An: Photo essay
The Island line was extended to the East at the end of 2014, with Sai Ying Pun station being the final one to be opened in March 2015 (here's a recap of the opening).

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
After lots of food-focused interviews it's time to meet Peter Lam, who has a great eye for photography. I love that he regularly goes out to explore different areas of Hong Kong and shows them in a different light. For example, I live close to Tung Chung but I've never really bothered to take pictures… Continue reading Interview with Peter Lam Photography
Another Monday again... and it's time for another interview. This time my guest is Eva, an amazing photographer, who blogs at Photos from Hong Kong. She has a great eye and captures the unexpected. So many times I've seen a picture on her blog, of a place that I recognise (or think that I do)… Continue reading Interview with Photos from Hong Kong
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.
