A Poets View

Even though I was only in Hong Kong this last trip for about a week I had my daily routine.  Unlike at home where I would sleep in and get up around 10:00 a.m. while in Hong Kong my day would start at 7:00 a.m.  I’d leave the hotel around 7:45 and take the Star Ferry over to Kowloon.  At that time of the morning it was usually crowded with people going to work.  When I arrived in Kowloon I would walk over to the waterfront promenade which was only about a three minute walk.  At 8:00 a.m. each morning there are Tai Chi classes held which encourage tourists to join in and take the class, all free of charge.  Well, I tried the class and although it was much fun I do have balance issues at times so I wasn’t very good.  However I was able to take some video which you can see above.  My camera is not high quality so you can only get a glimpse of Victoria Harbor and Hong Kong Island in the background.I really marvel at the expertise and conditioned athleticism of the Tai Chi Masters.  It is such a serene and tranquil scene and along with the traditional Chinese music I was simply mesmerized to say the least.  Even though I only participated once, I visited and watched the performance every morning.  These classes are also held on Hong Kong island.  Even though this last trip I was staying on Hong Kong island my preference was taking the Star Ferry and experiencing the class from my favorite spot on Kowloon which is the promenade along the waterfront.   It was the perfect start to each day.  I can’t wait to experience it again.
