Sai Kung

Just did a lovely hike in Sai Kung, and saw my first Cantonese cows hiding out in the bushes!





Apparently cows in Hong Kong don't pronounce the 'm' and so instead of saying 'MOOO' they say 'NGOOO.' (Like how dogs bard differently in Korea.) I was surprised because Hong Kong is so into being bilingual, but apparently this doesn't count for cows. Is this true Henry?



Sweet Tofu!!!




This is my blog with lots of pictures for those with a short attention span. You can read my rantings about hiking in Hong Kong on my other blog, for longer attention spans: http://www.asolitaryplace-fiona.blogspot.com/
