Hong Kong and Ni Zan

We arrived in Hong Kong from Osaka Kansai airport on Tuesday to listen to Stephen Little give an interesting lecture to the Oriental Ceramics Society on a Ni Zan he had acquired from C.C. Wang for the Chicago Art Institute. I had my picture taken with my old friend Irene at the Hong Kong Club after having afternoon tea.

Earlier this afternoon, Michael and I had lunch at the Chariot Club with K.S. and went to his artist studio for tea and was treated to the best of his collection. Very cool! After the lecture, we had dinner with our old friend Ken at Cuisine Cuisine. In less than 36 hours, we saw three friends, visited the Hong Kong Museum of Art, and attended an event, nonstop Hong Kong style.

The Star Ferry is still the biggest bargain at pennies to cross the harbor from Kowloon to Hong Kong's Central Pier. Much has changed since my first visit to the then British Crown Colony for the 1997 handover.
