Yesterday a lovely card from Vietnam arrived - the woman on the bicycle with her children is ever so charming against the stonework of the building and walls along the road. I truly appreciate receiving this wonderful memento from you.<br /><br />May your move be a transition into a new place with ease and joy in the transition.<br /><br />Namaste<br />KristinKAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05479656882397372088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-87996526779563518312012-04-20T12:35:03.932-04:002012-04-20T12:35:03.932-04:00I love these photos!

I think it would be hard, however, for a lot of folks in the US, particularly those of us who live in smaller towns yet love the Big Apple, to really comprehend how crowded and hurly-burly are cities such as Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo.

It captures the rhythm and life of the city and the people! I found your blog and I truly enjoy it. I am not living the expat life but we are kindred spirits in that we both love to take photos and to travel. I will be leaving for London this evening and have been reading some of your blogs about the city.

The airport, the water, the buildings, the sidewalks. It doesn't look like a romantic city, like Paris, or an aged city, like Rome, from what I can see, but more of a hustle-bustle place where new and old collide and one can find almost anything. Does that seem right?<br /><br />Thank you so much for the lovely postcard, Jeanne.

I've only been there briefly, on a stopover to London, but grabbed the chance to see it and walked all over the town. I loved the French District most of all. Did you get a chance to see that? The architecture is sublime. And of course the view from the top of that cable car / mountain is extraordinary. The jetsetters say that Singapore has bypassed HK to become 'The New Spot' but I think there will always be something lovely about this place.<br />Janelle | Library of DesignJanelle McCullochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006727386237836016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-42676983946926059472012-04-19T10:02:05.595-04:002012-04-19T10:02:05.595-04:00Hello Jeanne,
