Hong Kong has it’s Disneyworld. Frits suggested a couple of times to visit that while we were in HK. But due to his work we can only go on weekends, when it is super busy. I did not feel for that at all. So we went to Ocean Park instead, one of Hong Kong’s older theme parks. […]
Street art encounters in Hong Kong
In my previous article, I mentioned that I did not run into a whole lotta street art, while strolling through Hong Kong. But ofcourse I found some; here they are: Stencil robot. Stencil baby in box. As you can see there are different styles and techniques used: stencil art, sticker art, spray paint art, B&W, color, small, […]

Many cities have a location from where you can enjoy the best city views. Be it a skyscraper, like the Taipei 101 or One Altitude in Singapore, a mountain or cable car ride. Hong Kong has Sky 100 on the 100th floor of the ICC, Hong Kong’s tallest skyscraper, offering 360 degree views of the […]
JCCAC. An artist colony in Hong Kong. Part 3.
We learned about the industrial past of the JCCAC building and picked up the artistic, quirky, boho and cosy vibe that hangs around in it. Now it’s time to look at the small, informal art displays in the open spaces on the various floors. Some displays raise question marks; what and why? The Guggenheim in […]
JCCAC. An artist colony in Hong Kong. Part 1.
After several posts about hotels, restaurants and food, it’s time for something completely different: art. The Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre (in short: JCCAC) is an artistic hub and artist colony, located in a former factory building in Hong Kong. Industries that were housed in this factory were garments, shoes and watches, I believe. Nowadays […]

Love Dutch Art, by Ebs. Wooden shoes in the MTR.
As a teenager I wanted to rebel against my parents, like many youngsters do. I chose quite a peculiar way; I started wearing clogs aka wooden shoes. Like these ones: Wooden shoes were last worn one or two generations back, by farmers when working in the clay. So imagine my surprise when I came across […]

Are you ready for some more views? These are all taken from our bathroom window. On different times of the day or night and in different weather. Gorgeous, don’t you think?! Oh well, I could go on for ever;-). But no worries, I will stop (for) now!
Hong Kong Heritage Museum, part 2
I showed you the Eddie Lau exhibit at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum, which we really enjoyed. But I did not show you the rest yet. There was an exhibit about Bruce Lee. Extensive and well done, but not really our cup of tea. So besides Eddie Lau’s fashion, we enjoyed the permanent exhibition about […]
