6. wedding costume

7. rickshaw for picking up the bride

8. fishing hooks on net

10. don't you remember how hard your mother washed your clothes? I often got puzzled how come my school uniform was in white.

12. dried shrimp

13. dried clam

14. dried tiny fish

15. Tofu shop - mmh.. my Japanese friend (he can read/speak excellent Cantonese/Mandarin) already asked me "the name beneath is interesting". Yes, she knows it's not a nice name. :)

16. Tofu sweet - very nice tofu sweet.

17. I haven't seen this sole for quite some time. Look at the pink - very fresh!

18. fish maw hanging high to get direct sun light.

19. next time my friend and I shall have these kinds of seafood and bring them to a restaurant nearby for a seafood dinner.

Tai O Part 1, Hong Kong

1: boat to see China White Dolphin - HK$20 for about 20-30 minutes

2.: Tai O Fishing Village - reminding of Alrich Bay Fishing Village in Shaukiwan

3: See how people live on the water

4: the bridge

5: uncles and ladies playing mah joh

6: a boat ready to go sighting Dolphin

7/8: the market

9: dried fish

10: dried fish maw

11: Shrimp paste

12: I think it may be one of the very few street stall having charcoal grilled "egg junior"

13: When I had my first bite, wow, this should be what we call "egg junior". There are so many "acclaimed egg junior" shops only working on the crispy outside and forgot it should be with some "cake like" inside. This is the one they should learn! Not just on the outside.

14: houses in Tai O

15: another view to the village

16: what a nice view to this dried salty fish. The paper is to prevent the fly from going inside the fish tummy and lay eggs.

17: this stereo is almost and should be put in museum. The old man was listening to some Cantonese drama

18: Fashion design is not just for those fashion designer. See how this guy made his "environmentally friendly" t-shirt. So he doesn't need to have a fan to cool himself. I kind of like this photo because it also captured the other man looking at this old man.

19: that simply reminded me of my aunt's kitchen in Yau Tong. She used wood in the stove. Stir fried veggie in "wood burning" is excellent!

20: Shek Pik Reservoir
