Part 1: Tai O - Lantau Island, Hong Kong

This was one of the best places I've ever visited (thanks a million, Kit!)...it was slightly reminiscent of Miyajima Island in Japan, but without the deers!  We took a quick speed boat ride to see if we could spot the pink dolphins, but unfortunately, we didn't see any that day.

New Year's Eve - Hong Kong

For New Year's, my friend rented a "junk boat" and we sailed around the harbour and watched the fire works...


Countdown and then fireworks!


After the fireworks, "2012" were lit up on buildings on both the Kowloon side, and the Hong Kong side...


Happy 2012!

Hong Kong on Random

Time spent....
on a night photo walk after a lovely dinner here,
being squished on a tram,
in search of baked sago pudding with lotus seed paste,

and so, so much more.....








There was also this colourful East Indian/Chinese store/café that we stumbled upon, and our cameras were instantly out clicking away.....





Thank you Anina + Sidney, Kathy, Mike + Yunnie, Kit and Joyce for so many fun, yummy, and unforgettable moments. xoxo

~ Kowloon By Night ~

When the sun sets, the colours and textures of Kowloon are just as eye-catching...
