Only 6 days to Christmas eve and not a sign of Christmas mood. This morning I went down to Mr. Wangs little shop to have a look at his Christmas tree again. Normally the lights is still on, because he use to let it blink the whole night. I wanted to have some time so I really could see the different things he put on his little tree. The birds was singing and the dogs of Tai Wan village was barking like always, as the sun came up. I went to the beach to have a look at the sunset in the polluted Hong Kong air.
Well, it was not really so dark like on this photo, that has something to do with the bright light and the shutter speed of the camera. Now the tide comes in the morning and it is nice to walk around on the beach and see all the small crabs running sideways from hole to hole. A couple of months ago the tide came at lunch time, when I used to go for a walk with Pfoten, the beagle dog. 
This is one of our bus stops in Tai Wan village, and -no, we do not have so bright yellow busses like the DVB in Dresden, this one is a private school bus. The little shop you can see is Mr. Wangs pavement Pub in disguise. Usually in the evening this is the meeting point for a bunch of Tai Wans inhabitants of different nationality. All though Tai Wan is a little village then we have at least two Germans, a Belgian guy with a wife from Argentina, apart from me another Danish family, one guy from Norway, people from South Africa, the Philippines, India, quite a lot from the UK, Australia and New Zealand and of course Chinese people. Apart from that there is too many dogs, some cats and a family of rat snakes living just behind Mr. Wangs little Pub shop. There will for sure be more snakes and monkeys around, but the rat snakes is the only snake family I know of, but never have seen. I only know because one evening some kids found a piece of snake skin and then Steve, an English man who have lived here for 15 years, told us about them. 
The steep steps leading from the street to our house. In the bushes on the right side the rat snakes should have there home. I have only seen two snakes until now, and both was when I went on a hike in the country parks. The first one was a little green one sleeping just next to the path, the second was two weeks ago when I went for a walk on a mountain with a friend and Pfoten, the Beagle dog.And now to some completely different:
Todays Traktooor.
I mentioned DVB once before, so why not follow up on that -set up, and pay of- this official -and part yellow- DVB traktor I found him 11:26 am at the ferry to Pillnitz at the river Elbe in Dresden, on July the 29th, 2004. Thank god for digital cameras, otherwise I would not have remembered which year.May the bytes be with you.
