Hong Kong Colours #3 - Orange and Green - Yau Ma Tei / Hong Kong (Mon 02 Jul 2012)
Orange and Green - two of Jenny's favourite colours.
Hong Kong Colours #2 - A Little Bit of Red - Jordan / Hong Kong (Mon 02 Jul and Wed 11 Jul 2012)
The bike was the delivery bike for the Restaurant which we ate at for lunch. I took the photo of it before we entered the Restaurant.
Very nice place. The red and green coloured seats are what convinced us to give it a go - obviously a great reason to chose a place to eat at, particularly in unfamiliar territory. Jo kindly agreed to eating here and we were not disappointed. It was just what we were looking for - that being local food, eaten by the locals and well off the tourist track. Like most places we ate at no one could speak english and a menu with pictures was used to indicate our choices.
As we ate our meals, the delivery guy left with a plastic bag of takeaway boxes. He returned a few minutes later with the plastic bag still full and there was much laughter amongst the staff. There did not seem to be too much concern for the delivery and it looked unlikelly the order would be delivered.
We could not quite work out why and what was happening, When we left, we saw the bike again and it had a flat back tyre - this was obviously the source of the laughter. No doubt a quick trip to the bike repair guy (*) would get the show back on the road.
There is always a reason for everything. As my paddling buddy, Eugene (*), once said:
Everything happens for a reason.Sometimes it just takes a bit of time to work it out, if you keep your eyes open.

Praying Mantis and Graffiti - Mong Kok / Hong Kong (Mon 02 Jul 2012)
These two photos seem to go together. They were taken close together and in the same block. They seemed to reflect the unique and local character (and lines) of Hong Kong.
Even the Praying Mantis (*) and graffiti have a Chinese characteristic to them.
The Praying Mantis (*) was only 2cm long but was not shy and very protective of his territory. Amazing self-confidence in it's own abilities.
