A Trip in Asia. Part 2: Hong Kong.
By: amanico : July 2nd, 2014-03:05
Hong Kong... This is a city I always wanted to visit, since I am child. From my parisian eyes, I always thought that Hong Kong had a human size. I couldn't imagine it was that big! My first Hong Kong Teacher was my taxi driver, from the airport to the tow...
Hope you enjoyed your stay here.

This is a city to feel, if you want to understand it.

And yes, the TT Geophysic was a good " friend " or trip companion. I had the opportunity to try another one, by the way, which will make a nice " Part III ". Best, my dear HS. Nicolas.
Love your pictures and story line Nico

Great to meet you in person... The 1,600 pandas, as you probably know, are the creation of French sculptor Paulo Grangeon, also creator of the Rubber Duck. As for the weather, yes, hot and humid I must agree, but come again in November/December and you wi...
I recognize many of those places!

the asian region. Hong Kong is a fantastic place. I see many places I recognice in your images and what can be a better place for some wristshots than The Peak! Had the pleasure of celebrating the New Year Eve of 2013/14 with some good friends at a hotel ...
Thank you Nicolas for a true and entertaining view

of Hong Kong. It has changed a lot and I need to back and see old and new friends. You were a brave man to live in that humidity and heat! It is a charming place with wonderful people and to have the JLC team as hosts, must have been really special. Hope ...
Thanks for the great report!

I have been to Hong Kong twice, both times "before watches" which is a shame (for my collection) and a blessing (for my budget). My impressions were much like yours only I was there during very nice weather so never felt the heat and humidity. Thank you f...

Glad you enjoyed your trip

I used to live right above the Man Mo Temple that you visited. That area does have some character to it, doesn't it? Great pics, btw.
I'm glad you..
By: fernando : July 2nd, 2014-17:30
finally made it over here! Not the ideal season to visit but your next trip should bring much cooler weather. It's a pity your stay was so short as apart from the main tourist attractions there are many other interesting places to visit - the next time.:)...
Aaah, Fernando, my friend...
By: amanico : July 2nd, 2014-22:27
I need to see more about HK, for sure, my young friend. And to share more time together. Thank you for spending some time the day of my departure. On another note, you killed me with your blue YM.. ;) All the very best to you too, Fernando. Nicolas
Very nice posting Nicolas.....

Didn't know about Hollywood Road though;) Are you planning to return to Hong Kong soon? I'll be there. Si, si!:) Cheers Francois
Vlad in a temple?!

Did something supernatural happen?! :P Glad you have as much fun in HK as Singapore and I am sure many of the Purists there had a good time at the events and with you. Is WTA the WTA from Brunei? Good to see him there! He is also my friend from the Montbl...
Vlad got lost. ;)
By: amanico : July 2nd, 2014-23:23
But as you could see, there was a lot of smoke, there... Which confused me. ;) Yes he is THE WTA, our WTA! Thanks for looking, Robin. Best, and see you soon! Nicolas
Nicolas, no food photos?
By: lhk1 : July 2nd, 2014-20:46
Did you try the famous roast goose and pigeon? Do you know why you felt so hot inside the temple? Evil spirit entered the holy place. You are lucky you were not burn into ashes. Regards Ling
Hi, Ling, my friend. I never think about taking food pics.
By: amanico : July 3rd, 2014-00:30
You see, I have a lot to learn! No, I had chinese food in Singapore, with a delicious " canard laquƩ ", which was abolsutely deicious. I was much less fan of the fried Oyster, to tell the truth. As for the temple, after 15 minutes, I knew I had to go out....

First of all, once again a BIG thank you to Nicholas and of course JLC to make this unique gathering possible! A lot of personal efforts went into this event to submerge us into the past time of the Geophysic. All the nice details turned the VIP room of t...

JLC not only ordered custom dishes but also created necessities for explorers to the North Pole (besides the Geophysic). As mentioned earlier, a lot of thoughts and details were put into this evening... Amazing! Have I mentioned that the Tribute to Geophy...

For taking us along, for those who have never been to HK. I enjoyed your report and pictures very much. I am not sure I like the heat aspect of it but it must be a paradise for watch lovers, collectors. I bet right now HK can give London a run for its mon...
