Bumping into things It's always a good idea in Hong Kong to go back to places after you havent been there for a while, because things can change quickly. Shops come and go, festivals are held, and you never know when the Urban Renewal Authority will decide to change a neighbourhood forever.

So it was nice to go to Cheung Chau with my parents on the weekend - we wandered around, got lost, ate some seafood and then bumped into a massive Cantonese Opera stage - a giant construction of bamboo, wood, and sheet metal, shoehorned into a basketball court for a season of performances. As it was during the day there was nothing happening so we could wander around it as we pleased looking at the way it had been put together and spotting interesting objects in the rubble of post-performance. Pretty good for a temporary structure eh?
