Tai O with Sven

My Dear Great Ones,

My brother Sven came to visit us for a week here in HK.  On his first full day here it was rather rainy, but that did not deter us from heading out to Tai O.  Tai O is a rustic fishing village, famous for its odd houses on stilts, dried fish, and a lookout where on a good day you can see white dolphins.  You can also see from the lookout the still under construction Hong Kong to Macau bridge,  which will be one of the longest if not longest bridge in the world.  Sven, Celia and I saw all of the above and then had a beer in a quaint terraced restaurant right on the main canal of Tai O.

Rain, rain, rain.

Dried fish are extremely expensive and a speciality in Tai O.
