Igor"s Lamma Island

0
    Somehow I found Jumbo floating restaurant - they were making a movie.
    Hong Kong had a Very big impact on me. - I want to be like 河國榮. 

    private boat to Lamma

    Took about 5times longer to go than I had anticipated, but worth ever moment - would recommend to anyone - an adventure!!

    Lamma Boat backs out from Wrong Port

    Small navigational error meant a 6km walk across the pitch black island on unknown paths. 

    Amazing sea food

    Restaurants along the way came out from the darkness - so many different types of amazing sea creatures

    dark walk bay view

    I made a telephone call to my daughter in Nagano from here (above) which helped pull out from darkness.

    The picture above looks very bright...but it was not....actually quite concerning walking on a new place without lights in dark, - except this camera's (Nikon D40) autofocus pilot light which was a blessing.

    One or two times I could hear larger animals 2 or 3 metres from the trail...^-^

    Emergency Telephone

    Emergency Telephone ....somewhere on Lamma Island...

    Igor operating homebrew antenna

    We talked until after midnight about more than amateur radio...must go back

    Igor VR2ZQZ operating TS130s from Lamma LoTikWan-bay

    Igor told me about the benefits of communism & explained how valuable it is to live in such a beautiful place as Lamma island in Hong Kong.
    Nagano is beautiful too - Lamma, Igor and my other new Hong Kong friends really ripped at my heart.

    Below is a homebrew antenna VR2ZQZ created from almost nothing, very very skilled and focused on looking after people.  He showed me a side of Hong Kong I would never find by myself.

    VR2ZQZ homebrew vertical for 10 15 and 20m++

    Part of the local power generation schemes attempt to create renewable energy -the wind mill below was very impressive as the blades made a wooosh --- wooosh -----wooosh every time it cycled.
    Igor had some very well thought comments about energy generation & ethics - not someone like me who takes power for granted.
    Lamma island is very forward thinking - really rounds of Hong Kong - a little bit wild, I like it!!!

      Very Nice Taxi driver Lee Woon Wing

      Lost together - with directions and signs in English a little different from those in Chinese writing....a good chance to meet a nice character.
      We did a few laps around the block together looking for Sun-kei School^-^

      ちょっと英語と中国語の名前が微妙に違いましたので、周辺の道を沢山見せてもらいました^−^。。。すごく面白い運転士が色んな説明をしてくれる。
      町の作りから、タクシの仕事、香港の生活・人生全て。。。感動しました。。。
      しかし彼は一つのキャラクターだけ。。。もう一周をしたい!!

      タクシーから降りて、学校警備のお姉さんとフル・ボディ・コミューニケーションでニコニコするながら入学校できました。
      本当に一人一人気になりました。

      そして、「ヘーデン」君と河合女の子が案内を始てくれて、。。。あまりも若くってちょっと怪しかったので、知らない学校の中で案内を任せても良いか、。。。心配しました。

       Hayden & friend welcoming Sunkei School

      Super welcome - Hayden & friend had come down several times, and was so nice to have school tour guides...^-^

      何回も向かいに来てくれたらしい。。。上面のヘーデンと友達は良く案内しました。

      Departing Escort - NG-GOI-PANYO and 50storey Skyscrapers Apartments behind

      Spectacular view with Anthony who was kind & caught a taxi for me.
      Really felt like a space station on earth!! 
      The buildings behind were so BIG - between 40 and fifty storeys tall!!  - with very friendly people....many people would saw hello or give a smile where ever I went - getting to like Hong Kong very much...

                     今日は大雨が降って、カエルでも外に出ないと思いました。
                    しかし、志賀高原で見た温度が下の写真ように:
                    8℃
                    8度!!
                    15cmのカエルさん
                    業人なカエルが犬みたい歩き道路からにぎました。
                    噛みそうだったので慎重に写真をブラブラ撮りました。
                    そして帰る(かえる)とさらにびっくり。。。下面の集まりご覧ください
                    湯田中チーム
                    これが湯田中精神!!!
                    渋はたしか綺麗、穂波も好き、新湯田中も魅力的なところもあるし、
                    湯田中人は「やる」

                    小林一茶もけっこう色々やりましたし、現在の芸術家中島先生も同じ通りに歩いています。。。
                    何の天気でも、是非湯田中温泉を歩いて、となりの温泉部を楽しみにして下さいませ。
                    山ノ内町じゅうにそれぞれの美味しい味ありますから。
                    カエルよりのメッセージ、「やる」べきと思います。

                       Looking forward to trip to Hong Kong soon,
                      especially looking forward to meeting faces I've met before in Shigakogen, some new, and some on the air waves after setting amateur radio antenna on Lamma Island with Igor (VR2ZQZ)

                      Hope to see & hear you all soon^-^
