I just love the roof. It's incredible that people really live like this, 3km from HK. The path actually goes through their house, and you have to ride your bike past several old men playing Mahjong, with all the tiles clacking on the tables, old ladies shuffling about. And that roof on top of it all!! The village itself is about 4 houses and chaos everywhere, bits of rusting iron, umbrellas, guttering, no air con and lots of grannies.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/simontaylor/2471270638/" title="Lamma - Tung O Village by Yodod, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3125/2471270638_6fbfaecb63_b.jpg" alt="Lamma - Tung O Village" width="100%" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00186287648572238981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649437.post-58619591320307046512008-04-19T08:04:00.004+08:002008-04-19T08:18:38.986+08:00Landscapes<object width="620" height="620" align="middle"><param name="FlashVars" VALUE="ids=72157604515830972&names=Landscapes&userName=yodod&userId=41948864@N00&titles=on&source=sets&titles=on&displayNotes=on&thumbAutoHide=off&imageSize=medium&vAlign=mid&displayZoom=off&vertOffset=0&initialScale=on&bgAlpha=20"></param><param name="PictoBrowser" value="http://www.db798.com/pictobrowser.swf"></param><param name="scale" value="noscale"></param><param name="bgcolor" value="#333333"></param><embed src="http://www.db798.com/pictobrowser.swf" FlashVars="ids=72157604515830972&names=Landscapes&userName=yodod&userId=41948864@N00&titles=on&source=sets&titles=on&displayNotes=on&thumbAutoHide=off&imageSize=medium&vAlign=mid&displayZoom=off&vertOffset=0&initialScale=on&bgAlpha=20" loop="false" scale="noscale" bgcolor="#333333" width="620" height="620" name="PictoBrowser" align="middle"></embed></object>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00186287648572238981noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19649437.post-81263152609826473722008-03-21T10:46:00.009+08:002008-03-24T03:18:18.932+08:00AlizeeIsabelle is an Auntie - Annie, her twin gave birth to Alizee in February.
