The many Gods of Temple Street's Temple

Like Hindu temples, Chinese temples also seem to have a focal main God and a number of different Gods in the same temple. It's difficult to work out which are the Gods, and what are the various consorts etc. but it's fascinating to see one the less.

Back to Hong Kong

I don't often travel back to places I have already been - but there is something compelling about Hong Kong. There is the electronics and the great food; and there aren't too many new tourist places to go to - but it was still compelling. Hopefully, I can squeeze in Macau this time!

Movie: Fences

The performance is like a play - very strong dialogue and minimal changes in sets - but that does not distract from some amazing performances; especially Viola Davies and Denzel Washington. Set in the late 50's; it's the story of a low skilled worker; a garbage collector - partly his reminisces and partly a story about the conflicts in his current life. It's a difficult story, about sacrifices, about difficulties of racial discrimination, of difficult upbringing, of living paycheck to paycheck, of community and above else relationships. But it's the performances that is the real highlight of the movie.
