Boat Trip to Discovery Bay




Photographed By TheCityOfGold

A Sunny Sunday in Hong Kong on 7th Sept, 2008
I was bringing my excitement and myself to the once a month Flea Market in Discovery Bay.
The Sunshine was embarking my happiness and I shot some photos on the way to Discovery Bay.
It was 1:00pm that I have arrived.
I walked into the city centre and that was where my dream burnt.
Besides Fish Flakes and Children Books, there wasn't anything surprising except there Mobile Massage Service.
I walked away in approximately 4 and a half mins.
Although I did not have any good flea market experience, I still enjoyed my day and the new thing that I have discovered in the city!!!
Such as the New West Kowloon Culture Center, the New Bridge to Macau, etc.
Here is some of the images.

Enjoy!!!

HTC store inside a store inside a store

Opening today inside Hollywood Trading Company (which is itself inside Fred Segal Santa Monica): a pop-up store from The Generic Man. The shop will have a few exclusives, including Canvas Chuckmans in black or gray from TGM's Spring '09 collection. But the real action happens at the August 23 opening party, where the brand will launch its new Re-Edit collection (pictured). The kicks are handmade from vintage army materials, making them both eco-friendly—after all, this is the land of the Prius—and stylish. (Note: Enthusiasm for actual militarism not required.) Can't make it to L.A.? The shoes will see an international release next January.
The Generic Man Pop-Up Store, Hollywood Trading Co. at Fred Segal Santa Monica, 420 Broadway, (310) 451-9002, thegenericman.com

The Clock

Time is running out for us
But you just move your hands upon the clock
You throw coins in a wishing well, wake up
You just move your hands upon the clock
