登山纜車2022 peak tram

Posted by guyaznpublic in habitat, plaisir visuel 視覺 and tagged with 香港, Hong Kong 2022/11/29

印象中上一代紅色的纜車也沒有運行怎樣坐過，眨眼間已變成第六代？（又再是兒時的）綠色纜車了。同樣是兩節車廂一起運行，否則正常時期本地人加上遊客是應付不了的。你知道中途可以呼喚停站的嗎？你又知否鋼纜是在纜車經過某一點才在軌道中露面？

hong kong’s peak tram, like the city’s shyscrapers at the same site, went through five incarnations already. the current, sixth, inaugurated 2022, brings back the retro green colour of my childhood. did you know you can request stop in one of the stations along the link between central and the peak just by pressing a button? did you also know that the (steel?) cable only makes its not-so-discreet entrance in between the tracks only when the tram reaches a lower elevation at whatever point you are standing / observing?

國泰餐牌 1970s menu de cathay

書展裏瞥見國泰航空七十年代的餐牌，除了英文外竟然有點造作之餘加了法文。中文係殖民時代是否欠奉是常態就不得而知。我倒是好奇這班連名稱皆印到餐牌上的 ” compassion tour group ” 乃何方神聖？另一張海報的亞洲女郎活像是蘇絲黃的世界跳出來一樣，嘴藐藐的但洗不掉那種西人對東方的迷戀。

à quoi ça sert le menu en français dans un vol de cathay pacific dans des années 70s? les lettres en MAJUSCULE de taille plus GRAND que celles en anglais, cela rend l’office québécois de la langue française jaloux hahaha. néaumoins, c’était un vol entre tokyo et hong kong, deux villes qui tiennent aucune relation francophone. la fille qui apparaît dans une autre affiche rappelle une caricature datée d’époque suzie wong!

社交距離 / distanciation physique / social distancing or even

distanciamiento físico, distanciamiento personal, o distanciamiento social,

no matter how you call it, for three quarters of a year, it is tiring, frustrating or even sad for many. If this photo I dug up from my cell phone which I believed to have arrived at my possession in march 2020 could lift your spirit up just a little..

How would you title / caption it?

para mi, es “star wars vs. covid-19“

康有為胡志明孫中山斯諾登以及其他許許多多這百多年來足跡遍佈香港嘅人，不論他們甚麼身份－革命家、知識分子、有良知的人、國父加上更多無明但又係佢哋拯救世界之時路過香港的英雄。這些在他們年代獨當一面的人物，想想現代的香港要政治打壓引導他們去別處受審？只能講句『送你條尾』！

rattrapant sur le sujet de l’extradition dans les derniers articles, je vous montre ces quartre noms parmi des nombreux

kang you wei, sun yat sen, ho chi minh, edward snowden

bloodily shot, a sad and sober reminder

the girl who lost the right eye to a bean bag round shot by the hong kong police on 11 August 2019 finally gathered some energy to give a brief statement. a lot of public anger in the past two weeks calling for “an eye for an eye”. i can’t imagine the courage and how poised she has been in the video. if i were put into the same situation, traumatized is an understatement.
