I spy with my little eye (Part 2)...

Some shipboard signs seem to suggest that there are strange creatures lurking about, like this one:


I think this one is the serpentis extinguisha (common name: hoser eel). Watch out for what spouts out from its tail.


 I can't figure this one out. It obviously arose from the sea and it is either a creature with lots of teeth all round or many eyes (hence the sun-glasses).


This must be an animal with a bird-like face and a giraffe-like neck picking at an exotic marine fruit. Look, it's already made a tent-like hole!


I know this one... it's a jellyfishy incandensa. Its protrusion lights up in the dark.


There are also signs indicating the presence of humungous clothes-pegs. Maybe they are for hanging out to dry the elusive exotic creatures -- if they can be caught.


I can't make this one out too. Poor man; it does not look like a pretty picture. Meanwhile, after the ship ended its cruise in Hong Kong, we spent three days there. I could not resist looking out for traffic signs like those in these two pics...



Is that the way to hail a cab, Hong Kong-style? And lorries are driven backwards, guided by pedestrians? No wonder there are two people watching it all.


This way to get to Snake Mountain?

Walking around Hong Kong is actually quite easy, with a good map. We also went on guided day tours. One of the coaches we took had this sign:


Indeed, Hong Kong and Singapore share at least one common feature: the proliferation of "Do Not.../No..." signs:




Hmmm, just what is "destructive fishing"? Does it mean robbing fish of their fish-hood, as in this picture below?...


Finally, Singaporeans will be familiar with this... Yes! You can find Kopitiam stalls in some Hong Kong foodcourts (at least in this one that I found inside a mall)...
