Long Live the King (introduction)

We visited an exhibition of social activist and graffiti artist Tsou-choi (1921-2007) aka King Kowloon. Considered a bit insane, he lived a pauper's life despite his belief that his birthright made him the King of Kowloon. His street graffiti was a life long expression that HE was the true monarch and not the Queen of England. His unwavering conviction in this belief and courage to make these very public statements was quite moving and inspiring.

    Loving the photos, commentary, food, fashion, history/art/culture lessons all rolled into one! Thanks for sharing girls! Sounds - and looks - like you're having a FABULOUS time......I'm sure you're wishing you had a few more days to explore and discover and experience all things Hong Kong! Haven't heard any complaints about the weather - very lucky (as opposed to yucky!) for HK I believe! See you back this side of the planet soon - hopefully without the megadose of jet lag! xoxox
