On the way back to New Zealand,  impossible to avoid the short stop in Hong Kong with Helena'a family...

I don't' like cities but this one is special...Any stay in Hong Kong give you a wonderfull feeling of optimism; I lived a few years there and went numerous time in this former british colony but this year again, I discover new places.

How these 7+ millions inhabitants can live in such a small area ? Preparing a new year meal in family, visiting crowded holly places? offering square watermelon ? Making a wild nature trek in deserted path in the new territories ?  enjoying super food in a traditional chinese restaurant ?  Or just finding almost 24h/24h the good bargain in the huge commercial centers ?

Happiness is really worldwide distributed and Hong Kong is not exception, You can add one of the best safety in the world...Don't die before a stay in Hong Kong !

Family preparation of CNY dishes

So many in such a tiny place, and there is still room for guest !

Even wintersport avaiiable !

"Holy" place in the new territories: So much superstition with wishes are hanging in the tree...

Nice gift idea: the square watermelon; esaier to store...
