The Journey Itself Is Home

I took this one today. It shows a woman praying in front of a Taoist (?) shrine, more or less right on the street.

I had fun in Hong Kong today. In the morning I went with a friend to SoHo (which here means “South of Hollywood Road” - yes, they have a road by that name) and had a fantastic meal. My friend, who has lived here for more than a decade, told me that the food was of Szechuan origin, which is a province in China. The Chinese food found in the West is usually Cantonese, i.e. from the Guangdong Province. The Cantonese food is more mellow than the Sezchuan, which is spicier and has a richer taste.

After lunch I walked back to the hotel, enjoying the sights of the city and savouring the somewhat decadent atmosphere. Outside the entrance I met a few of the brass girls and told them I had just had a blissful taste of Sezchuan cuisine.

One of them misheard me and thought I had said “sexual cuisine”.

Alas, no such luck.
