Say ‘so long’ to Hong Kong
When this article is posted (at 0001 UTC, 2 July), my scheduled flight will have departed Hong Kong, southbound for Singapore. Located at a mere one degree of latitude north of the equator, I’ve a few more days of sweating it out in the tropics, before I venture farther south and pile on the extra fleece to encounter southern winter.
I’ve had a great month of June in Hong Kong, including a short sidetrip to Saigon, Vietnam. Thanks to my sister and my brother-in-law who provided shelter, travel tips, food, and conversation, and thanks to the new friends I’ve made in the last few weeks. I leave H-K-G with great memories of the city, the surrounding area, and of course, the food.
“Bye bye, ι¦ζΈ―!”

I made the photo above on Hennessy Road near MTR Causeway Bay station on 21 June 2012. This post appears originally on Fotoeins Fotopress (fotoeins.com).
