Hong Kong 1990 - Part One

These are some of my photos from my holiday in Hong Kong before flying over to the Phillipines. I sytayed roughly a week there and was still part of the British Commonwealth.



A typical Hong Kong street in the cedntre



Parrot at Hong Kong Zoo - "are you looking at me?"



Another bird of paradise






Another part of the zoo at the avary section. I was into birds , still am, including the feathered variety.



Taking a relaxing moment in the humidity that is Hong Kong.

Modern art in the park (very phallic!)



Modern totemism!



Relaxing having a cold drink.

I will oad up some more photos later.

Improv Tapes

I have sorted out some old cassettes which i have tried to sell in town but nobody seems to want tapes, and these aren't listed at Disocgs and i am too lazy to fill out all the details myself.They are British improv or free jazz.

Four of them are on the Bruce's Fingers label and one on the London based Confront label.



They are -

I am selling them for about £3 each so if any LJ person wants them then contact me.

What is That Stuck To My Debit Card?

Dark Star Brewery has a new beer. Tried it today and it is very delicious!  Rum Festival (5.5% ABV) , a rum flavoured fairly dark ale of exquisite complexity to die for. Yummy.

Friday , Ville and i was given some ganja to smoke , as the guest DJ does not smoke, so after the gig we shared a spliff of this strong weed.The rest of it i stuck in my moleskin diary at the back which has a flap to contain bits of paper,stamps,debit card,loyalty card and bits of ganja. I smoked some of it over the weekend,but it had stuck to my debit card on the back, hence i soon got it off.When i came to take some money out of my bank this morning, and before i put my card to the ATM machine, i noticed a wedge of green stuff on the front of my card. I took a double look, then realised it was some of that very strong weed, and scraped it off, leaving it on top of the ATM machine to smoke later once i did my transaction. Afterwards, i immediately put it in to the pipe, surrounded it with a bit of cherry and vanilla tobacco, .and as soon as i got home, smoked the sweet juiciness of the herbal weed.  This morning was a real mellow yellow.


The warm sunny morning made it even better. I did a long sunbathing session out the back, having a coffee and reading the book,"Stockhausen On Music", well  actually he is talking about his own music , and it is a kind of autobiography.



The book covers his early years in composition , and thus, does not go to his more recent projects, such as his ongoing "Licht" opera. Well it suits me fine because it is his fifties and sixties music that i find the most invigorating.His later compositions became more self-indulgent.

Posted off two books and a DVD triple "Free Cinema" , plus an LP sold from Discogs. Tomorrow  my trip to Slough via London, since i shall visit MVE Notting Hill, to do some trading first.
