Hong Kong, where you can enjoy your latest read inside a nice cool Japanese tunnel, then after you've cooled off go down a lush mountain to take a tram home

AKIYAMA Yutoku-taishi was an art prof who ran in the Tokyo Governorship election in 1975 against ISHIHARA Shintaro. Remembering how Ishihara ran Tokyo in his final years before retirement, I would've voted for him based on his excellent use of the bowler hat.

Going further around the beach, I found the exit ... an inaccessible three metres up! What on earth had this been built for? Oh yeah, and I also explored the lower cave. Perfect place for a slow execution when the tide comes in ...

On the other side was ... solid rock. Where was the tunnel exit?

A fence prevented me from entering. It looked like someone had piled up junk at the other end, so I decided to go around to the other side.

It looked like it had been built to transit to the beach, and later the hillside was cut away so the tunnel became redundant.

There's a guerrilla museum up in Sha Tau Kok that's only open by appointment. Very Socialist Realism style emblem on the front which proclaims it to be an "anti-war" museum ... (due to the way Chinese abbreviations work)

Just saw a white guy with the flag of Denmark and the flag of Qing China on his backpack. Is this a way of representing his time in China without supporting the current regime, or is he merely advocating for the return of Manchu rule?
