Hong Kong: The Fragrant Port

Victoria Peak:
The perfect viewing point of Hong Kong
Wait. What is all that green stuff?
Trees?
I thought all of Hong Kong was exactly like
its skyline.
Buildings. Tall Buildings.
Very Tall Buildings.
And more Tall Buildings.
Apparently not.
I see more trees than sky scrapers!


Jin Eu Market:
“Be careful. Is a city. Watch your wallet”
Our taxi driver counseled us before we left his
cab to wander the streets of the goldfish market.
What might one buy at a goldfish market?
Well, goldfish for one thing. Also,
Blue fish, green fish, orange fish, purple fish,
Speckled fish, spotted fish, big fish, tiny fish,
Bottled fish, bagged fish, dead fish, live fish.
And every other imaginable form of “adjective + fish”.
(other possible options for adjective include but are by
no means restricted to: plastic, hollow, jade, wriggling,
monstrous, school of, neon, darting, and fluorescent.)
