On our last full day, we visited the fishing village of Tai O on Lantau Island, perhaps my favorite stop of the trip.
Here fishy, fishy

Day 284: February 8, 2010
After a weekend spent largely indoors due to unrelenting rain, on Monday, we went to Stanley, a seaside town on the south of Hong Kong island.

Day 283: February 5, 2010
And then we took a helicopter to Macau (thanks again Billy!) and watched the city of Hong Kong recede behind us.
Yup. A helicopter.
Day 282: February 4, 2010
This was market day, on which we went to the flea market, the flower market, the bird garden (and market), the jade market and this, the Ladies’ Market, a mind-bogglingly crowded array of booths selling clothes and shoes and watches and bags and all manner of tchotchkes.
To market, to market
Day 281: February 3, 2010
Hong Kong (and Macau) were festooned with decorations in anticipation of Chinese New Year, which began shortly after we left.
Happy new year
Day 280: February 2, 2010
Then, exactly two months after going to Ireland, I went to Hong Kong with Kim and BB. Here, Amy and BB enjoy a nice round of Rock Band on out first night in Asia. More comprehensive photographic coverage of the trip here.

Day 35: February 8, 2009
For the one or two of you looking at this but not related to me, a bit of background: My cousin Amy, who lives in Hong Kong, is also doing a day-by-day photoblog. Hers, in fact, inspired this one. And since we both started, I have been intrigued by the degree to which such a simple thing can actually enhance and stimulate conversations and connections within our family, especially with the contingent on the other side of the world.
Today, during a family party, we had a conversation with Amy via Skype. She came to us from the future–it was (I believe) 3 a.m. tomorrow in Hong Kong when she logged on–and the whole family gathered around the webcam to chat.
Tomorrow in Hong Kong
