Diamond Hill Public Light Bus Station
A lone public light bus, a cornerstone of Hong Kong transit, waits for its next departure form the Diamond Hill station. Two variants of the public light bus exist in Hong Kong. From what I gathered, ones with green marquees and roofs, such as the one pictured, operate on a designated route making planned stops. Ones with red marquees and roofs (pictured in upcoming posts) make stops and pickups as requested along the way to a specified destination.

Taking a break from the day, four acquaintances play cards in a corner of a Hong Kong side street.

Yuen Po Street Bird Garden and Market Vendor III
Travel is a series of detours both intentional and unplanned. Some would probably prefer to skip a market like this in favor of more noteworthy sites. Such corners, alleys, and side streets are my favorite to incorporate into our routes from A to B.

The tasks of the day serve as a distraction from those passing through the market.

Yuen Po Street Bird Garden and Market Vendor I
She reminded me of my Babcia. Small in stature. Meticulous and efficient in her daily routine. Completely focused on her craft.

Yuen Po Street Bird Garden and Market
Making our way from the Chi Lin Nunnery to the Ladies Market we passed through the Yuen Po Street Bird Garden and Market. Wandering the stalls provided a unique glimpse into on of the myriad aspects of daily life in Hong Kong.

Passing Through Kowloon City
He seemingly goes through the motions of a daily routine while I am enamored with his city. Its size and the amount of people in such a small physical space. The merging of culture from all corners of the world. As we continue on our separate ways, I wonder about his perspective of present day Hong Kong. Is he as ambivalent about Hong Kong as I am of Denver?

First Light in Central, Hong Kong
The streets begin to dry out from the previous night’s rain as the bustle of the city works its way to the daily crescendo from this moment of relative calm. Attempting to shake the jet lag resulting from 22 hours of travel, I wander Hollywood Road as the city wakes for the day.
