Taking a break


Taking a break, originally uploaded by Octopuscard.

Last week's bar photo was the Whiskey Priest (an anagram of Sheep Kiwis Try).
No bar phot this week; not because Copenhagen doesn't have any bars, but because I didn't take any photos of them.
This photo was taken in Stroget, the big pedestrian precint in Copenhagen.

Illumination

Last week's photo was taken in the Bulldog Bar in Lan Kwai Fong, not the main bar, but the bar on the balcony.
This weeks photo is another bar in Lan Kwai Fong - and there is a clue in the title. Can anyone guess which one?

LKF beer festival

Again, a lovely promotion girl from the LKF party this weekend. If you notice a sort of hazey look top this photo, its because one of the food stalls, nearby, was burning some food! Honest!

Still no takers! Last week's photo was from the Hong Kong Brew House.
To the anonymous person who left a comment - yes, there are bars that are not noisy and crowded, but it depends a lot on when you visit them. On a Saturday night, when the US Navy is in town, its going to be hard to find a bar in LKF that isn't noisy and crowded.
This week's photo is taken in a bar in LKF. Can anyone guess which one it is?

Sorry, Everyone

But, I am up in China at the moment and can't access my server with photos on it. To make it worse Blogger seems to think I can read mandarin, so the dashboard means diddly squat to me. Argghhhh.
Back in Hong Kong on Friday

Oh Lord Give Me Aircon


Oh Lord Give Me Aircon, originally uploaded by Octopuscard.

Sometimes it pays to look up! I have walked past this collection of aircon intakes many times since I have been in Hong Kong, but never noticed them before,as I wa too busy peering into the bars of Lan Kwai Fong.
Noticed them the other day, and took a picture. Very happy with the way the light changes as the reflections of the bar lights fade.
