In John Denver’s immortal words, our bags are packed, we’re ready to go… but there’s a very important task to do before we leave…yum cha! For all of its woes, social media is a wonderful […]
2019 Day 142 – Hong Kong, the Peak
We’ve been waiting for a clear day to tackle The Peak and *little dance of joy* here it is! Actual blue sky and visibility for miles. Our morning view offers up this! We have local […]
2019 Day 141 – Hong Kong, lunch with a view
Now, one of the things I’ve been looking forward to in Hong Kong is yum cha. Back home, with our large Chinese population, Melbourne yum cha is widely available, its quality, excellent. I had fondly […]
