Hong Kong - Lok Fu Neighborhood and back to Central

























































Sunny, hot and humid.  But that is every day this time of year - unless we are getting a storm.
Read an article about the Kowloon Walled City when I first arrived and have always had it on my list of things to do on the weekend.  Today was the day.
It has a great a noble Chinese History and then went bad and became the worst place in Hong Kong about the time I was born.  It has since mostly been torn down and turned in to a party - right next to another park and a mall!
The amazing thing about most parks in HK is all chaos around them and the tranquility within - even true when you find a cemetery along the way.
Great destination and wander today.

Sydney Australia - Summer to Winter








It was a stunning sunny day in Hong Kong.  It was also 93 with full on humidity.
I arrived to 45 and cold rain in Sydney this morning.  Welcome to winter Sydney style.   Gloomy Sunday but didn't sleep much this flight so a good day to lay low.

Hong Kong - Evening cool down for a walk















The steamy days of summer continue to be upon us.
A cool down to 90F just before sunset - just right for a steamy evening walk.

Bangkok Thailand - Steamier than Hong Kong




















The humidity was thick this morning in Hong Kong.  It was already 31C first thing in the AM. 
And I knew it would be hotter and steamy when I arrived in Bangkok - no sun but plenty of the rest. 
I always love the mix of old, new, traditional, quirky and a bit of you never know what when you get to Bangkok.
