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.

A Picasso painting inspired this cliff-top house near Sydney by architects Durbach Block Jaggers. The curved forms of the kitchen and living room, which project over the sea supported by four angled stilts, are derived from the torso of Picasso’s The Bather. The two-storey Holman House was completed atop the 70 metre-high cliff at Dover Heights.
Wasn’t a huge fan of this song when I first heard it so I didn’t post it. But I’ve been listening to it over the past couple of days and it’s grown on me. Download
hobo have you sorted when it come to adventure and travel. I love this layout that has become popular with magazines showcasing a large range of products. I just figure out whether it was Monocle or Wallpaper Magazine that did it first. Let me know if you know the first.

BEING THERE – FIELD PRODUCTIONS from Field Productions on Vimeo.
While I’m sweating it out everyday in Hong Kong, it’s snow time in the southern hemisphere! I’m hoping to get to Queenstown, New Zealand sometime in August for a heli-board if I can get away from work for week. I came across this clip for ‘Being There’ and even though I snowboard. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a ski or board video as long as there’s a good soundtrack over the top. It get’s me pumped! This is for all my snow pals in Australia and New Zealand.
“With some of the best skiers within all aspects of modern freeskiing, and a passionate film crew equipped with the best of HD cameras, this movie will both thrill and amaze you. Along side amazing action shots and mind blowing scenery, this movie will give you a behind the scenes look at the production itself.”
