October 7 – 20, 2011. This departure is limited to a maximum of twelve participants. It is intended for people of all levels of interest and accomplishment in film, or digital photography. While the emphasis will be on photography, this is also a cultural journey, which we believe will enhance your ability to capture the essence of Hong Kong in your images.

From the bustling street markets, cosmopolitan metropolis and all the way up to the lookout on Victoria Peak, Hong Kong offers  a very distinct journey into architecture, east meets west and religious retreats.  Join us as we explore a city entrenched in Chinese tradition, grown on colonial influence and now shining as a jewel of the modern China.  Prepare to be dazzled by a breathtaking symphony of lights in cosmopolitan Hong Kong. City-lovers worldwide rank Hong Kong among their must-see destinations, and for good reason.

A former British colony perched on the edge of mainland China, Hong Kong is a fascinating city of contrasts—a place where East meets West; where the modern blends with the traditional; where shiny skyscrapers stand next to narrow alleys crammed with traditional vendors’ stalls; where new technology flourishes alongside ancient Chinese customs. With its glorious harbor, excellent shopping, renowned restaurants, and some of the best nighttime skylines in the world, Hong Kong has it all.

October 15, 2009: My birthday and a chance to hang out with a Panda!!!! hahaha ok this’ll be self explanatory;


Ocean Park Hong Kong

A pair of Giant Pandas, a male named An An (安安) and a female called Jia Jia (佳佳), were given to Ocean Park by the central government in 1999. To mark the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to Chinese sovereignty, two more pandas were given to Hong Kong. The pair of two year-old bears, a male called Le Le (樂樂) and a female named Ying Ying (盈盈), arrived at Ocean Park from the China Conservation and Research Center in Wolong in Sichuan province on 1 May 2007.


Appropriately enough, today marked the first real white day of snow and colder weather since we came back from Hong Kong.  A rare evening off also resulted in being able to put up the tree and get our decorations on.  It’s always a great time at Christmas, most likely because I never grew up and I still look forward to the day with big open eyes and a little smile.
