Bugs and Creatures in Hong Kong
Hong Kong Culture 101
Being English and from Yorkshire and of a certain age I have what is called a very well developed sense of humour and never shy away from getting up close and personal with bugs and creatures, it comes in very useful particularly when it comes to bonding with kids on a private experience.
One does have to be careful though, I have spent quite a bit of time in snake shops and I actually had a cobra bite my camera lens and leave behind it’s venom when I got too close to it, it was in the hands of snake handler whose sense of humour was even stranger than mine and yes, I was holding the camera at the time.
Living in Hong Kong for 52 years I have come across many strange creatures, some of which you just would not think existed in a city like Hong Kong but we have 430 sq miles of mainly green and rocky land and like everywhere we have a thriving “pet” culture where people collect the strangest things, mainly I might add for bragging rights.
I do not write dry, educational blog posts, you know what I mean, the sort written by academics, I let the picture do the talking.
Amazingly many of the images where taken at Victoria Peak in Hong Kong which is my second home, sometimes I just keep my mouth shut if I know someone has a bug phobia (which is very common) what you can’t see won’t hurt you and in any event I would take one for the team if it came to a stand off.
