Today is the third day of this year’s Mid Autumn Festival; celebration of the full moon. With family, friends, lanterns and moon cakes. So I bought me a lantern as well; a yellow submarine;-). Cute, right?! As I wrote in my post from yesterday, the two main happenings are the lantern displays, including the one2free dome, […]
Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance
Today it is Mid Autumn Festival. Time of the year to enjoy family, lanterns and mooncakes under a full moon. In Hong Kong the two main locations and events are the lantern show in Victoria Park and the Fire Dragon Dance in the streets of Tai Hang, a neighborhood not far from Victoria Park. Yesterday we […]
Eddie Lau at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum
After our visit to the 10.000 Buddha’s Monastery, we continued our day trip with a visit of the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. Again very easy to reach by MTR. It is a short walk from the MTR station in which you cross a footbridge. And there it is: the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. We went for […]
Emma Hack. The art of camouflage.
Yesterday I showed you around the Monastery of the 10.000 Buddha’s. For a change, I think we need a visit today to a contemporary art gallery, don’t you think? I invite you to have a look at Emma Hack’s amazing art at Cat Street Galleries. You may wonder: what am I looking at? Well, Emma […]
Ten Thousand Buddha’s Monastery, Hong Kong
My last posts were all about the W Hong Kong. Let’s (for now) change topic, because I would not want you to think that I am doing nothing but sitting in my hotel room, admiring the decor and the views. So yes, I DO go out to explore the city;-). What I had read about the […]
Quirky hotel room amenities at the W Hong Kong
The last days I showed you the gorgeous views from our hotel room at the W Hong Kong. I am not done with those vistas yet, but I don’t want to bore you, so today I will show you something else. A signature thing from the W hotels are the quirky texts on their hotel room […]
Sea views from the W Hong Kong
As I told you in my previous post about our room at the W Hong Kong, the views from our room are phenomenal. I showed you the view on one of the buildings next to the hotel, the orange skyscraper with the hole in it. What I am going to show you […]
Spectacular views from the W Hong Kong
I promised to explain to you why the W Hong Kong’s Corner Rooms are so cool. Well, it is all about the spectacular views from the many windows in those rooms. You look out on high rise buildings, on Hong Kong Island and on the sea and other islands. Those views differ a lot, depending […]
Our Cool Corner Room at W Hong Kong hotel
So I’d like to continue where we left of. I showed you around on the ground floor and 6th floor of the W Hong Kong and we ended before the door of room 3317. Let’s have a look inside, shall we? Standing in front of our door. The room is decorated very tasteful. There clearly […]
An hommage to pink and to Diana Vreeland
You gotta love Diana Vreeland! What a wonderful, eccentric, original woman and thinker she was. Her quotes and one-liners are both strong and quirky. Here’s one that speaks to me: “naturally, I adore pink. I love the pale Persion pinks of the little carnations of Provence and Schiaparelli’s pink, the pink of the […]
