Looking Up in HK

 Hello My Dear Great Ones,
Hong Kong is not all gleaming highrises.  There are actually a lot of worn out, gritty buildings in various stages of decay.  Wires, signs, and even drying clothes hang haphazardly from most of them. Yet these old buildings pulse with life as many have sub-divided flats, crammed with people eking out a living.  Here is a look at few at night, from below.










Have a great week everyone!

Love adios and ping on!

Exercise in Hong Kong


Hello My Dear Great Ones,
Hong Kongers have one of the highest life expectancy rates in the world.  Genetics, family support, diet, education, parks, and weather all have their influences for a long life in Hong Kong.  Yet, I believe it is mainly the culture of getting together, in the morning, and  having exercise in groups that really adds years to a Hong Kongers life.  Socialising and exercising with friends in a well foliaged park, sharing a few laughs is great for mental and physical health.  Recently I was at a park at around 7:45 am and it was full of people doing a variety of physical activities.  Some  had swords, some had music playing in the background, (Chinese Opera,) while others just ran aroun a track.  It was awesome to see and makes Hong Kong one of the most unique cities in the World. 


Government support is great.

 Dancing.

 There is outdoor exercise equipment.  The old timers love it.


This track was full of people at 7:45 AM!

Have a great week everyone!

Love adios and ping on!

Artsy Look At HK

My Dear Great Ones,
Took a little walk on Hong Kong island the other day and took a few shots.  I played around with the tint and contrast later on the pictures and came up with the following.  I kind of like it.











Have a great week.

Love adios and ping on!
