back to the future!!!

hehe.. saturday consisted of waking up.. feeling 'out of it'... decided perhaps i was too homesick, so to heal myself, i took a walk to 'tin hau'... my old home in hk before we immigrated!!!

the first thing i did was walk up the stairs that connect our hillside apartment with the main road below near victoria park...

then... i visited a tree in the area, very famous for its size and how its protected right in the middle of the road...making traffic go around it

look at its roots...

its a banyan tree... so these are its twig/vines...
a motor bike parked in the middle of the road where the tree is...
the there was another more hidden set of stairs... and a curious creature was resting...
and.. then i found my home!!!
thats the tower...not very high... i actually dotn remember which floor i lived on... i should ask my mom... i believe its the one on the left of this photo the ones with the turquoise railings.. but not sure :P
theres are the stairs i climbed up.... but.. upon leaving.. instead of taking them again.. i took the sloping downhill road... leading to the tin hau temple

this is a very old temple in the area... i remember coming here during chinese new years... and seeing firecrackers...

somehow.. although it was raining, i think the weather made it much more appropriate to visit a place of memories
