Hong Kong Magazines
I love magazines. Especially if they are contemporary, good-looking, edgy, quirky and unusual. And if they are all about travel, art, design and culture.

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 […]
WET; Hong Kong’s highest rooftop pool
