Events and photos

So glad that I attended this event, I've learned so much (though still know so little) about the painting of 齊白石 Qi Baishi. With the excellent presentation delivered by Mr. Marco Szeto, curator of Xubaizhai Gallery of the Hong Kong Museum of Art, followed by the guided tour.

Some of us also took the opportunity to appreciate the Masterpieces from the Centre Pompidous, Paris

Event full! Thank you for your great response!

Irene's Review:
Salade de Crabe et Papaye, Pave de Saumon a la Beaujolaise are very good. Poire Pochee au vin rouge is a very delicious dessert. The pear was soaked in wine with honey and other favours for 1 - 2 days, j'adore! We used the area at the back of the restaurant. Very nice atmosphere. Recommend here for business or causual group functions.

A fun and informative talk by Bonnie, it was attended by 25 people. we have all learned so much about Nepal, its history, geography and culture. If you are interested, check out the tour itinerary.

Thanks to Nancy for organising the event!

An expectedly high turn-out of 80+ people left Queen's Pier Central on an unusally hot Saturday in November. After 1.5 hours boat ride, we reached Poi Toi Island at noon time and had a yummy sea food lunch before our 2.5 hours walk on a small round trip trail. The initial uphill track proved to be quite demanding for some of our fellow hikers, especially with the wild planets that were 4-6 feet tall. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful view and a cold drink at a store near the end of the track. It was a lovely event with good exercise and the opportunity to meet new friends.
