Traveling To Hong Kong

Hong Kong, Asia

Hong Kong Skyline

Accessible to neighboring guests and foreign travelers via Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong has grown in popularity over the years and went on to become one of the top travel destinations in Asia. Situated in China’s southern coast, this lovely region is most known for its wide open skyline and the beautiful harbor. People fly in to Hong Kong to experience its eclectic culture, which is a wonderful cacophony of different colorful cultures.

Climate and people

Having a sub tropical climate, Hong Kong is expected to have long and humid summer, normally during the months of June to September. The rainy season usually comes between June and September while the mild winter is mostly brought about by the cool sea breezes.

While the Hong Kong weather may be diverse, its population, on the other hand, is made up of more than 90% of ethnic Chinese, which is very evident in their communities, colorful culture, and cuisine. Although Hong Kong might be a melting pot of various cultures, the Chinese influence is very evident at every turn.

Buses On Stamps

stamps, Hongkong

For this week’s Sunday Stamps, we are supposed to share cars, but unfortunately I have already featured some of the nice car stamps I received in this post and I cannot seem to find another one. So, in the hopes of staying with the theme {and with a little prayer that our meme host will not penalize me}, I am sharing this lovely bus stamp, instead.

This is the only bus stamp I can dig up from my stash at the moment. It was sent to me about a week ago by a dear friend from my former work who went to Hong Kong recently. This features the Albion Coach, which is probably one of the primary mode of transportation there. I am just not sure whether these coaches still operates now. I think I will find out when I visit the place one day!

I wish there were more stamps to share, but I will sure to revise this post as soon as I stumble upon something. Have a sunny Sunday and may we all enjoy this day. Oh and do not forget to share your latest stamp acquisition in a comment below, right?

beautiful birds stamps

For today’s Sunday Stamps, here are a number of bird stamps that I have received in my imaginary mailbox. The first set is sent from a direct swap with someone from Hong Kong for a number of cool Lightning McQeen and his gang postcards for the little man. The birds featured in these stamps include: scarlet minivet, collared owls, fork-tailed sun bird, white-bellied sea eagle. They all lovely won’t you agree?

The second set of birds stamps of green-winged pigeons is sent by a friend who went to Malaysia earlier this year and was gracious enough to send me a lovely postcard of the place.

The third set of stamps are also from Malaysia, which I got from a direct swap in one of our Postcrossing group, this comes with a beautiful postcard of the lovely buildings in the country.

Oh well, I hope you like all these birds stamp I share with you today. Will be back for more stamps next weekend. Happy postcrossing and have an equally enjoyable Sunday! ^_^
