this lovely surprise arrived from dear Iris who thought of me during a Hong Kong
PC meet-up held on 18 March this year.
Here you can see
the Pottinget Street, or Stone step street, one of the oldest streets in the
central district.
It is made of stone steps and is named after the 1st
Governor of Hong Kong, inclining from Caine Road to Hollywood Road and down to
Queen's Road Central (ok, that's what the back of the card says, I dont really
know of what importance are those other streets...if any). The traditional
stalls you can see here sell ribbons, bows and buttons and neighboured with the
modern buildings, this is where the old and the new, charmingly mix.
Can
you spot the tourists?
I love such scenes, and im pretty sure i would find
something interesting to buy here, even if i dont really need it...too charming
to resist it :)
the stamp was issued in
2011, commemorating the 150th Anniversary of Hong Kong General Chamber of
Commerce. thank you so much dear for thinking of me! <3
