In situ : 17th floor, Hong Kong, China
Every time I go to Asia, I swear I will never do it again because of that awful jet-lag. It wakes me up at 4 or 5 am the first days and I can’t seem to do anything about it. But the truth is, it’s not...

Feels special : Wah Fu Estate, Hong Kong, China

Panorama : fruit nets, Hong Kong, China
Markets and fruits are both ubiquitous in Hong Kong. Strangely, this goes hand in hand with an habit to wrap them in otherworldly foamy little nets, and I can’t really say if that comes from they...
