SaiSha Road Widening Project Completed

SaiSha Road Widening Project Completed

About 4 years ago, I moved to TinLiu, at that time there were already construction crew workers working on the SaiSha Road Widening project, so this has been a long process. But good things come to those who wait. Now we can finally step back and enjoy the fruit of their labor. It's great, you can easily walk to your bus stop or drive to your destination without having to consider whether there will be a detour, an inconvenience, some noise, dirt, dust or any other undesirable factor. Check out Construction - The City is Taking Over. Not only that…

Sai Sha Road Construction Continued

Sai Sha Road has changed a lot over the last 7 or 8 months since I did my last video blog on it. If you haven't seen last years video of the road construction, here is a link. Back at that time, I think you had to use your imagination to picture how things might look when they finish. Well not any more. This time things are really taking shape. They are even putting trees in now. Last time I rode my bicycle. This time I rode my motorcycle as I think it gives a better perspective of the new…

Construction – The City is Taking Over

A Chat With Sandy This morning I met a lady from Tsing Tau Village walking her dog, Jackson. I will call her Sandy. I asked Sandy about the construction. She told me they are putting up 22 public housing high rises. I asked her how many floors high they would be. She didn’t know, but from looking at the buildings we could see that many of them are already 25 stories high. Let’s just estimate they go another 5 stories, and the buildings will be 30 stories high. They could build them 40 stories high. We just don’t know but…
A Home for the Cows to Come Home to

A Home for the Cows to Come Home to

I remember years ago the first time when I met a cow on my hiking path in Hong Kong. I’m sure he thought it was his grazing path. I didn’t argue with him. He was bigger than me. At the time, I was a little afraid. I just wasn’t familiar with cows or more specifically Hong Kong cows. Still that cow seemed very at home on the hiking trail. Fast forward to present day, I live in TinLiu, 田寮. If you are from the US, you don’t really care whether I give you the characters or not, but if you…
Bike Ride Through Construction

Bike Ride Through Construction

So I live outside the city. My address is SaiKung, but I am actually closer to MaOnShan. Why is this a big deal? It’s all about public transportation and getting places. In this blog I share my bike ride through construction to school. In Hong Kong many people will not even consider a place if it isn’t close to an MTR station. The MTR (Mass Transit Railway) connects Hong Kong together and makes it pretty convenient to go places. From my apartment in TinLiu I have to walk about 10 minutes to get to a bus stop to go into…
