Monkey

Yps had to travel to the Philippines work-related and so visiting Bonsai went along, in the hope for a few days on a nice beach - which Yps had no time for. Bonsai's disappointment knew no boundaries.

Their biggest adventure was a sidecar (motorized tricycle) taxi ride to an Internet shop where Yps was trying to get it back up and running after it moved location from across the street. Yps' work involved everything from re-installs, clean-ups, hardware replacements to setup.

Today was the first "very hot" day of the year and so of course Yps took visiting Bonsai for a biking tour. Let's first review again the Hong Kong Observatory's recommendations for such a day: 1) When engaged in outdoor work or activities, drink plenty of water and avoid over exertion; 2) Avoid prolonged exposure under sunlight; 3) Those taking part in outdoor activities should use a sunscreen lotion of SPF 15 or above.

Their tour started by joining friends in Tai Wai and renting bikes, then riding along the Shing Mun River following the bicycle route to Sha Tin New Town, Tai Po and eventually arriving at Plover Cove Reservoir several hours later.

Monkeys seem to be everyone's favorites these days. Here on some bus stop billboards.

These days, there's a lot of monkey fashion around.

Yps got a 4-day visit from his Philippine friends Andong (black) and Kiko (red).

Here they enjoy a ride around Hong Kong Disneyland's Inspiration Lake.
