Just want to post some photos I took at Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) Waterfront Promenade in Hong Kong on my trip there last November 2009. TST is probably one of the most accessible and the cheapest spot to go to in HK that you simply cannot miss! Here are 5 things I love about it based on one fine winter afternoon visit:
1) Roses at the Promenade - After seeing these lovely blooms in TST, I have officially fallen in love with roses! :) Look, they were lovely, weren't they? *Sigh. See this album for more roses.
2) The famous harbour of HK - plus some cheap ferries sailing by. Riding a ferry is also a must try!
3) Photo op with a stranger - This Chinese looking guy asked me to join him for some photos at the Avenue of the Stars, why not chok-nut? He was looking at his camera; I was looking at mine! Hahaha! :) I love my yellow get-up and boots! Boots is love. :)
4) Oldies in the Promenade - I love the oldies at the Promenade too. I made a chitchat with this lolo fishing; stated that he'd been there for hours but wasn't able to catch any... till hallelujah!!! I came and he caught one small bloated fish!!! :) I could not forget his joy though not captured here! :)
In HK, you see most oldies and retired folks in the parks and in the promenades. I think that's why HK has so many parks and promenades fit for tambayan. This place is just an oldies friendly place. I wish Philippines could do the same.. but when oh when?!
5) And finally, SUNSET - I got there at almost sunset time so I stayed there till the sun hit the horizon for some sunset shots. I learned this famous TST sunset from a guy I met in Kowloon Park. He scrawled the direction in my notebook so off I went. :)

Some travel thoughts: My travel in Hong Kong (that lasted for almost a month) was a period of humbling and then trusting back the Author of my life again. What God may have taken away, I know he would replace it with something greater and grander. I just have to trust again and continue my walk with Him... one day at a time.
