Hong Kong - February 2018

One Sunday I caught the ferry to a place called Shekou, which is in Shenzhen. Easy one hour ferry ride and easy through immigration, but still had to get a visa on arrival which is a pain. I will apply for a China multi-entry visa once my Hong Kong work visa is approved.

This is the very modern ferry terminal at Shekou...


Chinese New Year decorations are everywhere...


On the way to work. Running late...


CNY gift from HSBC. Year of the Dog...



Bacon and avocado salad at one of my favourite cafes. Coffee Roastery Lab, Sheung Wan...


Walking past the dried fish shops in Sai Ying Pun. Later found out these are a species of gecko...


On my way to TST on Valentine's Day. This is the busiest I've seen Central Station...


Got my red pocket (Lai see) from work...


One of my colleagues lives in a nice apartment in Elgin Street and this is part of his view...right onto where I used to live...

Chinese New Year weekend, most things are closed. But Jacqui and I wandered around Jordan and found this place, Colour Brown...


And at Kowloon Park, we saw our first dragon dance for this year...
