southside
one may think that in this part of the world dogs are a great culinary delight. As a matter of fact, not too far away to the
north, in the Guangdong province, ppl eat " whatever is alive and moving with its back upward" (citing my Chinese friend).
HK seems to be much more westernized.. not only ppl feel rather disgusted with eating dogs' meat, dress them up in some
funky dog wear, but even share tables in restaurants..

ninety six cars
hk island is one of the most densely populated places on the planet. In an island-city built
on the slopes of a mountain, the only way to go is up. And up, and up. The result is a forest
of enormous skyscrapers. After a while, though, you realize that there is sth odd about this
city and this is to do with cars, or rather, their absence. Throughout the world as soon as
people can afford a car, they buy one. In hk, however, with one of the world's highest
salary rates, only 3% of the population owns a car!
Anyway, traffic jams can happen...

winter at a latitude of 22 15 N, 114 10 E
i'm gradually forgetting what proper winter looks like.. It's 15 degrees outside which made some local people take out their
winter coats. For a Polish polar bear like me it's a bloody joke...

some ppl call it 'the vengeance of Stalin', for the vast majority though it has become an integral part of the capital's architecture
what's remarkable here is the monument in the middle of a random backyard
