Trees in Hong Kong

Watch Out For That Tree

There's amazing Banyan trees here, but many are dying because of pollution. It's quite sad really. Here we have an example of urbanizing a tree. Building a road around it and for all intents and purposes, making sure no truck or bus crashes into it. If you ever get a chance to come here, keep an eye out on the trees. Their size and insane roots are built around. It's really quite a sight.

Here are some random photos of trees I've taken.

Is That...

So at Mong Kok East Station they have these hanging from their ceilings. I'll let you decide what they are.

This should tell you how much it rains here in Spring, but it has been raining like mad this month already

My will is strong and I will resist you.

Unique English Signs

Okay, this isn't a culturally interesting sign, but still it's one of those "wet paint" on the park bench type deal.

I was watching kids and the elderly walk up and down this ramp, as I read the following.

Yes, I pointed it out to them. What do you think I am? A monster?

Phuket, Thailand 2010

I took a trip with the family to Phuket for a much needed break from the craziness of Hong Kong city life.  While there we went Elephant trekking, ate bugs at the night market and of course got some Thai massages. I also finally met Mark Smith. He's another script monkey of such works as Amazing Joy Buzzards, Popgun and The New Brighton Archaeological Society.

We talked online like so many of us do, so it was a blast that he was there for a Thai boxing vacation at the same time. He's a rocking cool dude that cannot tan and shouldn't be driving a scooter, but damn can he write.

I have photos galore and videos of the elephant trekking and Phuket Town Night Market below.

There will be more posts later for sure. Been working and renovating our apartment as of late. Not to mention changing jobs. I'm freelancing at the moment for a cool toy company. For now enjoy these vacation photos and videos of mine.
