This was because the other museums I'd visited had English signs and I thought as a former British colony maybe there would be English signs. <br /><br />I would have been surprised and happy had sarah bailey knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08748376721447408580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-69855807950525038402011-06-26T00:25:54.249+08:002011-06-26T00:25:54.249+08:00i've always enjoyed visiting museums and galle...i've always enjoyed visiting museums and galleries but haven't been to one in HK. interesting take on the theme.<br /><br />I've been cooped up in work and didn't have time to find photos to play along this week. thanks for checking out my blog. happy weekend.LifeRamblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671888795238528513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-71912081623742511522011-06-26T00:07:13.434+08:002011-06-26T00:07:13.434+08:00I always need all the information I can get!!

Fortunately, there also are lots that do have English on their menu. Even more fortunately, I've learnt some Cantonese for when the former is the case. So know how to do such as order various kind of roast meat and noodle dishes now. :b<br /><br />Re museums in Hong Kong: the big YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-84859338846066868992011-06-25T15:45:06.670+08:002011-06-25T15:45:06.670+08:00Good choice of photos for the theme YTSL.
