Yesterday on sunday a great girl from Shenzeng (right outside HK border on Chinese mainland) took Camilla and I to the museum of HK history in Hung Hom. It was an amazing museum which contained everything from how the landscape was created 400 million years ago to the plant and animal life in HK, through all the dynasties, the colonial period, the opium wars, the Japanese occupation, the development of new HK, trade to film and popular culture and the transferral of HK back to Chinese ownership. It covered A LOT and took us four hours to go through!
After the wonderful trip to Lantau on Saturday I have to conclude that this has been a most cultural weekend, seeing everything from the inner life of Central in HK - to the rural parts of the region with its local inhabitants to a deep introduction to their whole history.
Today we are going back to school and back to cantine life! What a contrast. Which is exactly what HK has to offer.
