In the neighbourhood


The 'Peninsula' - a neighbourhood of condos close by.

One sunny day I went for a walkabout. I wandered into areas I hadn't been before. There is still plenty of exploring to do! I ended up going for a walk around 'Shekou Mountain' which is the little mountain you see in the second picture below. On the other side of the mountain from where I live, I reached the sea and the bridge and border crossing to Hong Kong.  

Beautiful weather, trees, and flowering bushes along this path.

I still have to pinch myself to believe I live in a climate where palm trees can grow.

The bridge to Hong Kong

Another walking path, heading towards the 'Peninsula' residential area.

The roof of my building! Great place to bask in the sun, hang out laundry, and dry fish!

Inside my building. My apartment is the closest door on the right on the top floor.

The bright red mat three doors down on the right is my place.

Down below is a communal social area. People eat meals together here, play board games, etc. 

Taking a break.

  2. I don't know how I've missed checking your blog. It would be great if the newest entries would be sent to me so I don't miss them. Is there a way to do that? Thinking of you often Helena. xo
