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.

Located on the south eastern tip of the island, Stanley is where Honkers (Hong Kong residents) go to relax.  Stanley is renowned for its many bars and restaurants on its waterfront along Stanley Main Street where visitors can enjoy a variety of different foods (including French, Italian, American, Indian and Thai) or relax with a beer and soak up the friendly atmosphere in one of its bars.

After continent hopping for the last few days, we’ve finally arrived and settled back into Hong Kong.  It’s still just as fun, just as adventurous and strangely enough, just as homely for both of us to be back.  Fretting over the last few days whether the typhoon weather would break for us or not, I’m glad to say that we’re currently enjoying 28 and sunny with a nice breeze (take that Calgary!).

Easing into shopping and adventure mode proved to be rather easy.  Stanley Bay was once again our starting point for this adventure.  Serene waters surrounded by the tallest and most opulent high rises, it’s a unique and relatively quiet way to enjoy Hong Kong style markets and ex-patriate food and drinks.  We had a chance to meet up with some friends to take in this journey and it was definitely an entertaining way to spend the afternoon.
