Random Oddities....

As we wander through our home town, often we see flavours of life that are unfamiliar to us.  Here are a few.....

Because Hong Kong is made up of tight spaces and busy streets, deliveries cannot be made by the large trucks seen throughout North America.  These are two egg delivery systems we have observed:
Drive carefully !

As we travel home up the escalators, there are many people handing out pamphlets with all sorts of advertising on them.  To get people's attention, this company advertising foot massage / reflexology have gone a "step" further and outfitted their workers in this attractive head gear - yes, that is a foot on his head....would he still have hat hair or would you call it something else? 
Throughout Hong Kong there are tiny parks and playgrounds squeezed into corners.  This gives us some nice greenery, and at times a good laugh.  This sign is from a very specific playground (with equipment).  Read carefully and enjoy!




Puzzles:
Did a crane deliver this crane?
This helps give you an appreciation
for the tight spaces where not
a centimeter is wasted

For our physics / engineer friends and all other
enthusiasts, why are all bamboo scaffolding bases
cut on an angle?  Wouldn't flat give a better support?

A short walk from our home is the Hong Kong Botanical and Zoological Gardens, one of the many free oasis in the concrete jungle that is Hong Kong.  Enjoy these couple of shots from this area.
 


Happy Birthday Little Girl (who will never grow up!)
