Hiking Sharp Island

Time for another adventure! Sai Kung was a town, and an area, that I ran out of time to explore much last year, so I've been busy looking up hiking routes around the area. I've got a shortlist now, and Sharp Island was the first one that I…

A Day in the Life: Kindergarten Class Teacher

New job, new routine. And it is a little different this time around. Obviously, I've worked as an ESL teacher for a while now, this being my third job of that sort, after previously being an ESL teacher in a Hong Kong kindergarten and then a Korean hagwon…

Outfit – Classic Flannel

It's been done a million times before, but there's something so easy and timeless about a checked shirt (as we call it in the UK, flannel is an American term, I just needed a title!) and a pair of jeans. It's also quite versatile really, as although it's…

On Compassion & Tolerance

One step forward, ten steps back? That's how the world has been looking to me lately. Over the years, we as a society have made plenty of advances in our treatment of each other - women have the vote, slavery was abolished, homosexual marriage is legalised in more…

Lovers’ Rock | Hong Kong

So anyone who follows me on Instagram may have seen that I posted the below picture on Valentine's Day this week. This was my attempt at a little joke, since I'm single and don't have anything cute to post. There's no way around it - this is a photo…

Outfit – Night & Day

So this week I had to venture into public spaces to take my photos - the quality is my room is horrible (though I did take the close-ups there) and it's super frustrating that I can't use the roof. I went for a wander to find somewhere though,…

First Time Tag

No, not that first. This tag is about when I did various things for the first time, or do first on a regular basis. I'm so tired after a full week back at work (including a Saturday morning again, I did not miss those while in Korea!)…

Room Tour | Hong Kong Studio

So moving back to Hong Kong of course means I'm living in a different apartment again. Last year I stayed in one provided by the company I worked for, and while I'm still working for the same company, I opted out of the accommodation offered this time, to…

Celebrating Chinese New Year

Last year I sort of missed out on Chinese New Year, as I was on holiday in Cambodia at the time. And while they still celebrate the Lunar New Year there, we didn't go to any sort of celebrations, so I only really got the run-up in Hong…

Review – Deaf Havana: All These Countless Nights

Deaf Havana are back with their fourth studio album, and sounding better than ever. I continually sing the praises of James Veck-Gilodi's songwriting talents, and he's done it again, writing a soaring, mature rock album. And when the band were on the verge of calling it quits a…
