Out enjoying the sunshine and the man wowing me with his surf skills in the secret surf spot (I will actually be assassinated if I reveal its location online) gorgeous spot.

Some backdated highly random, badly composed pics from SnTs waterproof camera to fill the blog void until I put the Beijing pics up. (hopefully coming soon).

Some pictures from the weekend of camping in Tai Long Wan. Taking advantage of the long weekend (China National Week).
Such immensely beautiful weather. Sorry, I knows all freezing cold again in the Uk (actually jealous) but here its still hot diggity dog!

Dear HK Town Planners,

When one finds a rare spot of land in the extremely crowded vicinity of Mongkok that is not scheduled for additional skyscraper domination, nor for the allocation of additional road usage to further contribute to the already shockingly high pollution index, I feel a congratulatory note is in order.

I especially applaud the decision made to dedicate this said space to the well being of the community, in the form of an 'outdoor area'.

How joyous the thought was to be able to spend time in a small corner of nature among our oppressing concrete jungle. How I envisioned the laughter of small children whilst enjoying themselves in the proposed 'playground facilities'. How I thoroughly looked forward to cooling oneself beneath the shade of dappled leaves, and enjoying the wafting scent of fresh flower shrubs.

How NON SURPRISED I was to discover YET AGAIN you ROYALLY FECKED UP.

NOT what I had in mind.

Sharing some holiday pics and vids with you guys of my recent trip to South Taiwan (hey, be thankful Im not there to sit you down and force you through a slideshow).
So so beautiful.
This is where we were staying, near Jialeshui:

Visit to Taiwans Aquarium -2nd biggest in Asia, GIGANTIC... THIS BIG



Where they had a pair of Beluga dolphins, check them out!


And a WHALE shark... totally mesmerizing:


The night market turned the local ghost town, Kenting, into a thriving smelly jostling area for roadside snacks and sparkly tourist shizzle:



And lastly, what trip anywhere in Asia could truely be complete without the photo dosage of bizarre and wonderful discoveries such as these:

In Hk recently. Would love to see one!!

Just booked a surf trip to HERE:






To do THIS:


And stuff my face full of THESE:


Exciting!!

HK... when you look like this, I LOVE YOU

What better excuse to act like a 5yr old and scream in delight about willingly having the bejeezus scared out of you on probably not too safe rides.







Ocean Park also has some cool aquarium features:








And some apparently 'adorable' breeds of goldfish which was eerily akin to a Halloween experiment gone wrong
