I found myself wandering around Central near the Star Ferry Pier for some reason.

Another walk from Matty’s house to TST and another shot of the development at the harbour front in Wan Chai – also known as Wan Chai Development Phase II.
Despite having taken a few pitchas of this area I’m not particularly interested in building developments in Hong Kong. We have to walk through this area if we walk from our place to get the ferry to TST so I just snap pitchas as we walk through. I find architecture in Hong Kong uninspiring at best. The rents and lack of affordable housing and the fact the government seems uninterested in constructing anything that would
be in the interest of the general public is enough to make anyone feel glum about this kind of thing.
The third pitcha is of a community art installation near the Museum of Art which was quite nice.

One of the nice things we like to do is wander around taking photos and then stop somewhere for a coffee. Here we stopped at Second Draft a pub / craft beer bar in Tai Hang.
Tai Hang is an area bordering Causeway Bay and Tin Hau and is supposed to be up and coming. It hasn’t really got going yet though as bars and restaurants seem to close as often as they open. Rents are to blame, obviously.
Emily was playing with the Hasselblad on this day as well.

We went along to the Farmers’ Market and bought lots of cheeze.
