NEW CHAPTER

June has begun, grad banquet's over, and its time to share a little bit of this new chapter in my life of magic & adventure. Starting....in Hong Kong, where I landed last Wednesday, and am falling in love with the city & the people.

So far I've explored the backstreet market in Wan Chai, where my agency is located,




visited the june 4th (tienanmen square anniversary) candlelight vigil at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay,


tried to get to the giant buddha on Lantau Island but failed due to a landslide which closed all access routes, and explored the island instead,



and checked out Aberdeen in an attempt to observe the Dragon Boat races (which we missed, though we did make it to an incredible floating restaurant)



I also spotted this cool lady in her streetside shop:





and these interesting translations...
