Breaking the Ice with Hong the Kong


I got very little time to post today, so I'll make it short:

On Saturday I went to the Chin Lin Nunnery, a wonderfull place filled with Bonsai Trees, Buddhas and little lakes and when I cam there, some women started playing on this chinese plucket instrument, a sound that fit perfectly to the scenery.

On my way back to the guest house, i went through mong kok again becaue i was told to go there on saturday when people are enjoying their day off and now I really understand why this part is said to be the highest populated place on earth;
you feel quite small when there are that many people around you (even if they're actually all smaller than you ...)

in the evening i followed a Flyer and went to a little Bar in Soho, the district with the longest escalator, i described some posts ago.
there happened a really cool Drum'n Bass event, I met very very nice people - Mandy, Justin and Bill - there and we talked for hours and had really much fun.
Afterwards we went to a Club and spent the rest of the night there and when I finally returned to the guest house, it was already 5:30 am.

So I hadn't too much energy yesterday to attempt too much, so I went to Kowloon Park were you can see a Kung Fu Performance of a martial arts-class every sunday for free;
and I can tell, it was really cool, they got everything from dragon dance, sword performances thru all kinds of kung fu like Tai Chi etc.
just enjoy the pics, those 6 year old kids were really fun...
