Morning Engergiser
Living in Hong Kong reminds me a lot of when I lived in New York. Everything is in walking distance or at worst a short CHEAP taxi fare away. I’m lucky that my apartment is so central in Hong Kong which means I’m spoilt for choice of restaurants, bars, clubs, shops and most of my friends all live in the same area, so it becomes like one big neighbourhood. Lately I’ve got in the habit every morning of going to my local juice bar (literally next door to my apartment block) to get a ‘Morning Energiser’ which is Orange, Apple, Carrot and Ginger while I check my daily emails.

Alley Cats
Everyday I walk home from work, I’m bound to see at least three stray cats cruising the back streets in their playground that is Hong Kong. There is no shortage of stray cats here, especially around Soho. This city is the perfect playground for them. They even have a place called Cat Alley where you sometimes feel like you’re being stalked by a pack of ten cats. I love animals and every time I see one it reminds me of my cat back in Australia called Sake. Unfortunately, these aren’t really cats you should pick up. I saw this very friendly one on my way home from work the other day.
