This evening I headed over to Kowloon for the New Year Parade… it was certainly colourful and noisy! Lots of dragons and rats – and all led off by a pipe band! Some photos down at the bottom…
Before heading off, I went to see the Man Mo Temple, which is right next to my apartment – Hong Kong’s oldest dating back to 1847 (the temple - not my apartment!). The photo shows coils of incense – all lit – and together with the incense sticks lit by all the worshippers (New Year’s day is one of the busiest) the aroma was quite overwhelming!I hope you’re enjoying the blog! I’ve had some requests for things to include… and will try to oblige over the next few days! In closing may I wish you all a prosperous year of the rat!

There's only one word for it, WOW!
And I hope you too have a prosperous year of the rat, although that sounds almost like an insult in english I think.
Bigger photos is my request. You're seeing some amazing things.
Hi Amy - do you mean bigger pages on the blog page or when you click on them? Not sure my little laptop could cope with uploading anyhting too much larger!
