jardine building
We really, really adored Hong Kong – it was the absolute perfect holiday destination for us. We just love a big city, wandering about, shopping, chilling and checking out stuff.
Our hotel was wonderful and the location just right. Shopping was great – though we spent the most in stores that already have a presence in Australia (Uniqlo + Muji forever!). The food was simply amazing – we had so many, many excellent meals.
I took the elderly beast of the DSLR with the elderly manual prime lenses (from eBay) for experimentation purposes. I now have many photos to sort through – some of them pleasing, but more … not so much.
I think this has reinforced the need for a new, light-weight sexyful camera.
We’re very keen to return to explore all we missed, but next we’re planning … Tokyo!
Sadly, both of these things are rather at odds with the quest for frugality and the necessary repairs to ThePalace(OfLove).
When we lived in HK, that Jardines building was known as the building of a thousand arseholes…
Ha! That’s pretty excellent.
I can recommend the Cannon G16 if you want a smaller camera. Kerry Sister, who is a very good photographer, claims she has taken some of her best photos with one of these.
Thank you!
I’d be utterly thrilled if my photos were even 1/100th as good as hers are.
