On the 2nd of October, I went to town to get my Hong Kong ID, the only official document you need in Hong Kong. And as it was very efficient, I had plenty of time to stroll along the streets and explore a bit more of the city. I walked along Lockhart road going east and I snapped a few interesting views (well interesting for me!)<\/p>\n

Le 2 octobre, je suis all\u00e9e en ville r\u00e9cup\u00e9rer ma carte d\u2019identit\u00e9 de Hong Kong, le seul document officiel qui est n\u00e9cessaire \u00e0 Hong Kong. Et comme le service \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s efficace, j’ai eu amplement le temps de fl\u00e2ner dans les rues et d’explorer un peu plus la ville. Tout en marchant le long de Lockhart road en direction de l\u2019est, j\u2019ai pris quelques points de vue int\u00e9ressants (enfin, int\u00e9ressant pour moi!)<\/em><\/p>\n

This windows shop actually displays their samples on the wall, which makes the building look funny! \/ Cette boutique qui vend des fen\u00eatres a mis des exemples de produits sur le mur, ce qui donne un c\u00f4t\u00e9 comique au building.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Everywhere, buildings are painted and for most of the older ones, the pipes are all out! \/ Partout, les immeubles sont paints et, surtout pour les plus vieux, les tuyaux sont \u00e0 l’ext\u00e9rieur.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Seen in the window of a shop selling bathroom items, this Japanese bath was lovely presented. \/ J’ai vu cette baignoire japonaise dans une vitrine et je l’ai trouv\u00e9e tr\u00e8s  joliment pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The following pictures show all the shops that can be found in a building. Here most of the shops are not on the ground floor, and this is the only way to tell where to go. \/ Les photos suivantes montrent les boutiques que l’on peut trouver dans un immeuble. Ici, la plupart des boutiques n’ont pas pignon sur rue et ceci est la seule mani\u00e8re de savoir o\u00f9 trouver les boutiques.<\/em><\/p>\n

During this nice walk, I bumped into Sarah, my new friend. That was completely unexpected in such a big place! I then went to meet Sebastien near his work. After a little hot chocolate, I walked west, this time and went to see the Central Government Offices.<\/p>\n

Au cours de cette promenade, je suis tomb\u00e9e sur Sarah, ma nouvelle amie. C’\u00e9tait compl\u00e8tement inattendu dans une ville si grande ! Je suis ensuite all\u00e9e voir S\u00e9bastien pr\u00e8s de son travail. Apr\u00e8s un petit chocolat chaud, j’ai march\u00e9 vers l’ouest cette fois-ci, et je suis all\u00e9e voir les bureaux du gouvernement central.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is a view of Hong Kong while I was walking towards the government  buildings. \/ Vue en route.<\/em><\/p>\n

The next pictures are in Tamar Park, which is around the government buildings. They’ve got a great view! \/ Les photos qui suivent sont des vues de Tamar Park qui se trouve autour des buraux du gouvernement. iIs ont une vue superbe !<\/em><\/p>\n

The Hong Kong’s Houses of Parliament. Note that the Chinese flag is always higher than the Hong Kong flag. \/ L’equivalent hongkongais de l’Assembl\u00e9e Nationale. Notez que le drapeau chinois est toujours plac\u00e9 plus haut que le drapeau de Hong Kong.<\/em><\/p>\n
