Recently filmed few days ago – unedited… The Moon, Earth’s natural, organic Satellite noticing … when I look towards the moon as it phases from her terminator lacy earth shadow veil to reveal of herself of the Luna Landscape as it reveals off more of the mares-seas , with the cratered areas.. Like a heavy white inter- lacy woven layering bodice top with a two tone white grey painted silk maxi skirt dress with printed mares-seas that tells untold stories within her delicate tapestry embroidery of her wedding dress.
As the terminator robe line recedes, to reveal of more the surface layers you could see progressively of the Mares- seas as slowly reveals the Printed mare image of 玉兔- Jade Rabbit with its two ears showing with the sea of Serenity that once was the final landing site of the Apollo mission- Apollo 17 on 19 December 1972….. As the head of the Jade Rabbit it the sea of Tranquilly…..The first iconic landing spot of humanity landing on the moon with the two representatives Astronaut Buzz Aldrin also the late Neil Armstrong.. With Lunar Lander module – “The Eagle- has landed”… featuring more as the cratering shadows casting within itself..

“What ….It’s only in between 2.80 to 3.40 Hong Kong Dollars on the Star Ferry between Tsim Sha Tsui to Central.. Awesome…!”
Having watching out for the Star Ferry terminal signs in which are written in Traditional Chinese also in English, in which most of the Street signs in Hong Kong with moderately modestly display with black fonts with a with background………. Then Finding the terminal in which departs towards Central on Hong Kong Island is walking towards to right hand side of the center corridor in which is noticeable with the tea shop, with the cute various Chinese traditional teapots… in which nearby before then the “Discover Hong Kong” was helpful in getting the right maps, also getting to reconnect with the place…. One thing I did notice is to best to ask a lot of questions, in which I did… in reconnecting with the place..
Having walking up the flight of those nostalgic, those very nostalgic stairs in which leads towards the terminal waiting room… looking onwards to the thinking back… to another exit gateway below… Seeing, thinking of the couple whom meet up at that faithful night, Ruby and Josh walking towards the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, catching up from all those years from a point in Lan Kwai Fong, on how he was inspired by her of going in writing his novel, then also as she found herself adventuring in becoming an expat, in finding herself, working in Hong Kong as a Chief Designer for toys.. Walking towards with that Grown up ever so changing city neonic city landscape…
As I watching that Gateway as they left those two behind, it was morning thinking, inspiring of those two.. as I walked up that terminal, seeing the place aged transitioning from my childhood years slightly fresh with those bold whites, hospital mint greens, towards the late 1989’s where the place is noticeable worn, then now walking back retracing those steps, seeming finding that sense of nostalgic aroma, back reconnecting.. as in the distance there’s something new, an Octopus entry terminal, with the harbor watery smell from a busy Victoria harbor.. Looking at one of the iconic views through the Deco style window picture framing individual of each view of Hong Kong Island, from the eastern towards the western side of the Island… With those plastic well-kept form sixty chairs like they been there seventies…

As I approached, the semi-circular room terminal, as I sat down on those retro plastic seats, awaiting for my passage for the ferry ride towards Victoria Harbour, in which, I then later onwards standing up, to examining recollecting, reconnecting of looking back.. That terminal room, looking at the through the deco style window frames, as the picture ever so constantly changes timelessly… As the harbor waves hit the Tsim Sha Tsui pier arithmetically rhythmically… Looking at the late morning city cape of Hong Kong island, thinking back at Ruby and Josh what have they been doing together before they reconnected, Thinking of that Ruby just finished of doing work at her office as well Josh, just taking a break on his novel writing. While taking the island view in while photographing the view through the windows..
As I turn from looking at the rectangle timeless pictured frames that painted Hong Kong Island ever-changing of Hong Kong Island to a view of looking down at the terminal, north wise to east thinking of also of someone as well, of the same Ruby coloured name.
As I turn backwards to the view of Hong Kong, frame by window frame, in that semi-circular waiting room looking ahead as the inbound ferry starts to berth of loading the passengers from Victoria Harbour, noticing that the place haven’t changed since, only with, with a few slight modifications along the way with some well maintain structures, paint work with TVB broadcasting news with insider TV in the background on that flat screen panel TV.. Still retaining that nostalgic feel all those years ago…
As the gates terminal gates open up to board on the ferry, I look back to where Ruby and Josh, also towards walking down to the plank entering on board the ferry, then finding that seating with those old school sitting benches along the either side of the ferry, then looking at where Ruby was standing with Josh Catching up all those years.. Then onwards to Victoria Harbour…

Knowing me I’ve overdressed for the type of climate environment that’s presents before me…………….
Having gathered my luggage from having way too much fun from going around in the carousel, transportation comes to mind, there’s two that’s comes to mine also should I catch the subway to my accommodations, or a taxi.. Thinking that I haven’t got an Octopus Card or a MTR Subway map yet…. So taking a taxi was the primary choice at the moment… getting towards my accommodation…also it’s also a first hand in getting reacquaint back with my home of three, in getting reacquaint back with Hong Kong, Already tomorrow in Hong Kong.. In seeing what changes that have been since.. The last time I was here…
Having dragging my luggage around looking or the airport’s mapping system around in finding the way out in finding the taxi terminal… then finding that Taxi terminals, noticing beforehand that’s there two types of Taxi one, green, second red coloured. The green coloured taxis are reserve for Hong Kong Island, and then the Red is for New Territories, also if you’re in Macau the taxis are in black.
As I approached toward the Hong Kong Red taxi line, and then stating where my accommodation to the operator, whom holding onto a fare charge hand held device in which given me the quote in what the charge of the taxi ride is, in which is very handy to know in which amounts to least 250 HKD (50 NZD)….. As I stated to the operator that my accommodation is in Tsim Sha Tsui, in this has a comfortable view of Victoria Harbour… Having my taxi driver, putting my luggage into boot of his taxi, in which my luggage is saying that his boot won’t shut so in which he place a wiring hook to hold the boot safe for travel… when you notice this, it’s okay, it’s pretty safe, they’ve been doing this for many decades, also secure seemingly after looking at his handy work….
Having traveling from Lantau Island enjoying the scenic drive in between the Islands, going from Tung Chung onwards to North Lantau Highway, in between the bridges between Park Island towards Tsim Sha Tsui.. I was impress to see Hong Kong has grown since the last time I been, the new bridges, from the newly reclaimed land which became the airport. In which as the drive when onwards, gradually showing the various historical anthropology layers Hong Kong as driving towards the multitudes of density of suburbian and urban that coexists among each other…. Among the duration, the Taxi driver, pleasantly began talking about the various changes that’s have taken place amounting within the last two decades…. Somehow how taking a Taxi was a good idea, having that first reconnection back in getting know the city that once lived in, had I’ve taken taking the subway it’ll be a different story in not having that type of reconnection back with Hong Kong then I wouldn’t knowing the in depth stories of the changes that have taken place.. In view of what’s been going on… In a later post I’ll explain how an octopus card works that was a first think on my mind..
