Blip: Some old buliding in Hung Hom.

The defination of "old" is over 40 years! I think these bulidings were bulit in 1960s, they really need to repair in such "old" life. One of these kind of bulidings collapsed in January, a few people dead.

Okay, today is Ching Ming Festival, it is a day to remember and honour their ancestors at grave sites, but we don't have many relatives, so my family didn't attended such thing. The weather is always cloudy and raining in Ching Ming times (of the Chinese calendar). There's a Tang poem about Ching Ming (which is the 1st poem I can memorize when I was like 4 years old):

A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day;
The mourner's heart is breaking on his way.
Where can a winehouse be found to drown his sadness?
A cowherd points to Almond Flower Village in the distance.

It is a bit non-scientific but you gonna believe it.
