Pokemon Go came out in Hong Kong on Monday. Just over 48 hours later and the city seems to have gone MAD! As I wander around my local neighbourhood doing my regular everyday things hordes of people, often grouped together walk along blindly, eyes down, swiping on their phones, suddenly stopping, swiping some more. “Yeah … Continue reading
Hong Kong is a city of continual change. Often that change leaves behind little of what came before. Sometimes however rare and unusual gems of a city past can find a new leash on life and a path to preservation. Here I give you one such example I photographed located in To Kwa Wan in … Continue reading
Here is a view several million tourists a year snap of Hong Kong… It’s what you see when you venture up to the Peak on Hong Kong Island and look back down towards the CBD (Central). The buildings in the foreground are mostly apartment blocks. Just behind them are the office towers of Central and Admiralty … Continue reading
Not all apartments in Hong Kong have ovens. In fact, often they are a luxury only included in newer developments or renovated apartments. Many families in Hong Kong get by with just a stove top burner. Three years ago we moved to our current apartment and one of the sacrifices I made was no longer having … Continue reading

So now that we’ve tackled the important bit of Ani-com (Transformers), let me show you a few pics from the rest of the show. This post is basically going to be a plethora of photos celebrating the glory of geekdom so prepare for an image intensive overload. I’m going to start with the *cough* figure *cough* that … Continue reading
It’s that time of year again when the biggest anime gaming and comic convention hits Hong Kong and (of course) I couldn’t resist the urge to trek over to Wan Chai and take a look. Just like last year, I’m going to split the posts and do one that focuses specifically on the Transformers we … Continue reading
Private Kitchens. Discreet small “restaurants” set up to host boutique menus cooked by the owner (who in my experience is often a professionally trained chef). They are normally hidden in older apartment buildings and when you find a good one they are truly an experience to enjoy. They’ve been a thing in Hong Kong for … Continue reading
