I'll be in Hong Kong for 3 Months...

Hello everyone:

I'll be travelling again this Friday, this time, to Hong Kong for almost 3 months. So, I may not have time to write a lot of stuff here. I will also be attending the Cantonese Opera Festival to be held in Quangdong in November, (I'll post some pictures later).

In the meantime, let me dedicate the following song to you all. This is one of my favourite songs of all time. It's call "Come Softly To Me" by The Fleetwoods. This group formed in the '50s, before the days of The Beatles. It is amazing that they sound pretty much the same even after 50 years.

Gary Troxel and Gretchen Christopher, were 2 students waiting for their parent(s) to pick them up after school. They started humming a song together, and later they asked Gretchen's friend, Barbara Ellis, to join them as a trio, and called themselves, The Fleetwoods.

Sophia Loren - All Italian Woman; Lean On Me - Lean On Leaning Tower of Pisa

Lean On Me By Bill Withers


This is the Leaning Tower of Pisa - it really deosn't stand upright on the ground. However it's not that tall either - about 7 - 8 storeys tall only! It does give the impression that it is about to fall...

A lot of tourists hold up their hands to support this Leaning Tower when they take pictures of this world famous tower. That's puzzling!

Italian men are so charming and flirty at the same time. Italian women are so dedicated to either their family and to their jobs, just like our tour guides - they wasted no time to introduce the Italy they know to us and they did it with such a passion. Italian film star Sophia Loren is one of them - she dedicates her whole life to her family and to her film career.
