Back online: Hong Kong

Night view of the Kowloon skyline from across the harbour.

I know the blog has been running far behind the curve. I have vowed to supply more pictures and to try to break up the backlog. The big distraction in Singapore lately has been Passenger H’s opportunity to stay on after the completion of her short-term assignment. That has meant the end of our plush, serviced accommodations, but we now have a two-bedroom flat near Novena to call our own. Over the next few weeks we will pass through New York and the London area to tie up loose ends in those places.

As an attempt to make amends for going off the radar, here are some introductory images from the Passengers’ sortie to Hong Kong a full month ago.

A buddhist statue impassively watches over the bustle around Hollywood Road.

Antiques vendors hawk their wares on Cat Street.

A look downhill along Mee Lun St. shows the dynamic verticals of the city.

Even the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) have to build upwards in the density of Hong Kong.
