Last Sunday...


Last Sunday Jo and me went to Sheung Wan to see some exhibitions.The exhibitions where good but I liked more the old houses, quiet streets and people around.



There lots of small hidden temple in Sheung Wan

Later we walked to central and the architecture changed to more modern.
One day ago I saw a great old building when i passed Lai Chi Kok by bus and I wanted to go there again to take pictures.

Here it is, its on castle peak road and actually there 2 buildings.

The small lane in between the buildings called Kim Shin Lane



And as it was a nice day the people where on the street and checked in front of the Hong Kong Jockey Club if they won at the last horse race

Soho street scene

After a long time not posting anything I m back here to show you some more of my favorite places in Hong Kong.
There is not much time left; I will leave Hong Kong end of May.
Last Sunday I was again in Soho and also visited the famous Wing Lee Street.
It became famous recently when there was made the film "echoes of the rainbow" which won a price at the Berlinale.

This are some of the old houses in Wing Lee Street. Now the people discussing about what to do with this street in order to keep the old character.


This is a wall in Soho; you pass it when you go up with the escalator.



And an artist painting for tourists at the cat street market.
