Bev and I spent a day in Hong Kong just for fun. We wanted to do a day of Art Galleries and Antiques. It was fun but many places were closed due to it being the Chinese New Year. These are a few pics from the day. Some in B & W which just seemed to fit.

Lunar New Year Celebrations

We did spend time in Hong Kong for Chinese New Year.

These are some shots of what we experienced. We spent three hours waiting in our little sidewalk spot to see the parade but were somewhat disappointed by a good but not spectacular parade. It was very dark, (nightime) and that made it difficult to see and photograph much, but most floats were lit-up.

It is the year of the Ox and in know to be a bad year as far as economic terms are known. The Hong Kong mayor shook a fortune telling stick out of a can of about 100 sticks and it was to predict the future for the year. It was the worst stick in the entire can.

Crowded Metro for the ride home

We did just a single day in Hong Kong since our return. We had to purchase a new laptop computer power supply after ours was destroyed by the electrical surge in our apartment. We did a little shopping and a lot of enjoying the city. These are a few of the things we saw. We always love our time in Hong Kong. What a great city.
