Snapshots: Marilyn Monroe Street Art, Macau
From Filipina on Flip Flops, 2 days ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
This was the Marilyn Monroe mosaic I mentioned in yesterday's post, which we chanced upon on a random street in a less tourist-y area of Macau - and by less tourist-y, I mean cheap and affordable. We were on a backpacker's budget when we went on our Macau-Hong Kong trip, so we consciously avoided its glitzy and pricey areas and their equally glitzy and pricey hotels.Someday soon I will also tell you about the tin can of a hostel we stayed at in Mongkok, owned by a guy named Jackie Chan.No, not...

Women who really ought to be in the news'?
From Far East Cynic, 1 weeks ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
But for some reason-Western feminists pay little or no attention to. Shocked, I tell you-absolutely shocked.
The case of the maids trying to win right of abode in Hong Kong is moving towards its next step:
A spectre is haunting Hong Kong. And it is not communism. It is the sight of undesirable women roaming the streets of this acclaimed world city. First were the Filipino maids. Then came pregnant women from the mainland. Both are making unwanted claims on the good life which Hongkongers seem...

Flowers for you on this lovely Sunday morning!

Snapshots: Mickey's Water Works Parade, Hong Kong Disneyland (circa 2009)

The happiest place on Earth! My friends and I had a ball running around trying to get our pictures taken with the Disney princesses and going crazy in the twirling teacups. We were hoping to spot Prince Charming too, but had no luck. Is there even really a Prince Charming in Hong Kong Disneyland' (Enter the all but necessary hashtag - #StoryOfMyLife).

Living Together In The Locust World
From I Love China, 2 weeks ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Well, this has been on the edges of my radar for a while but I’ve only just started paying serious attention. It seems the tension has been slowly rising between Hong Kong residents in the former British colony and mainland Chinese tourists.
I lived in HK for a few years in the late 90s and I know at that time, Hongkongers looked down on mainland visitors, feeling themselves far superior and frowning on the mainlanders bad habits, such as being very loud, throwing rubbish on the floor...

Macarons Galore
From I Love China, 3 weeks ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Mint, chocolate and mango flavoured macarons
If you follow my Twitter feed, you’ll have seen that I bought some Ladur?e Macarons while I was in London. They’re expensive and indulgent, but when, like myself, you only visit once a year, the cost doesn’t really come in to it. I think they were about 1.60 pounds each for something the size of a golf ball.
Anyway, over the new year holiday in Shanghai, I was exploring Hong Kong Plaza and discovered a lovely coffee house called Le...

Snapshots: A Quiet Spot in Mongkok, Hong Kong
From Filipina on Flip Flops, 4 weeks ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
In busy, bustling Hong Kong, there aren't a lot of places that offer peace and quiet. I took a walk along the streets of Mongkok and found this place - probably the only place I visited in Hong Kong that was empty and quiet. It was a nice break from the sensory overload that was the rest of the city. I love finding places like this, random places that offer a refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city, like the hidden courtyard we chanced upon during a visit in Binondo in the Philippines....

Everyone loves a little taste of paradise. On a round the world trip you may be the most excited about those Fiji flights which will transport you to unspoiled isles, but Southeast Asia has its own gems that aren’t to be missed. Here's my personal top 5.1) Koh Rong, CambodiaThis is truly the paradise island of Southeast Asia and it's only a matter of time before it's well and truly on the backpacker map.
