Lamma Blooms

I sincerely wish we could take more care of our planet, there is so much beauty in it and climate change (caused by us) is threatening it all. Spending time in nature is one of the most awesome ways of reconnecting and understanding that we are living on this earth with other living things. We are not here to dominate everything.

Recently I discovered macrophotography.

It is precisely this geeky voice that created an easy read filled with warnings, ideas and advice.

Strolling through the busy Electric road packed with restaurants to choose from, arguably the best choice is Campers. Campers has been a favourite in Quarry Bay and Tin Hau for their delicious food and great prices for more than twenty years.

Review: Veggie SF, Central, Hong Kong

Veggie SF states that it is a vegetarian restaurant on their website, but when you call them they say they are vegan. Perhaps it is advisable to check if everything is vegan before you order if you have allergies or dietary specifications. They serve internationally inspired cuisine with a mixed theme of fabulous 50's and San Francisco.
