Listening to: 4 Non Blondes ~ What's Up (Bigger, Better, Faster, More!)


I went to the Hong Kong Art Museum last Sudnay. There was an interactive display on the Secret Garden of Emperor Qianlong (1736-1795) during the Qing dynasty.

The other cool display was animals in art.

I didn't get to take any pictures inside. But there was also an exhibit on a cartoonist from the 1940s who depicted every day life and tried to portray that art is a reflection of life, and all creatures / human life is to be respected.

After the museums, I stopped along the waterfront at Beer 'n' Deck for a coctail and finished reading my book, "The Harbour", about a woman journalist in Hong Kong during the Japenese invastion.

On the walk back towards home I came across a military band show. The Turkish band was playing.

Caught some video.

And then the Chinese military band played.

And there was a singer at the music stand.
