維港泳：比奧運更特別的體驗！✨

Kayton Tang on November 26, 2024

維港泳自1906年創辦，雖然曾經停辦多年，但近年重新復辦，成為香港最具代表性的游泳盛事之一。歐鎧淳@stephaniehsau 亦都曾經參加了這個盛事，與千幾名泳手一同在維港中暢泳，體驗這個「香港不一樣」的瞬間。🏊🏻‍♀️

「維港泳和我平時的比賽完全不同。當我跳入維港的那一刻，心中湧現的興奮感💓，是我在其他比賽中無法體會到的。能夠在維港海中心游泳，同時自拍，欣賞兩岸的壯麗景色，這種感覺真的很特別！和這麼多人一起在維港游泳，彷彿我們都成為了香港🇭🇰這個城市的一部分，這種連結和氛圍是無法用比賽來形容的。」

這不僅是一場比賽，更是一個獨特的文化體驗，讓參與者感受到香港的活力與魅力——在這座城市，每一次的體驗都是獨特和充滿驚喜。

NOTHING LIKE A BIG, WARM HUMCHUK HUG

Kayton Tang on November 26, 2024

Humchuk is here to give all people in Hong Kong a warm, big hug.

Hong Kong illustrator Ricky Luk, who goes by the name Humchuk, abandoned his career in architecture in 2014 and has since then created works inspired by stories from people he meets in Hong Kong.

Known for his iconic character “Mask Man”, he captures the everyday experiences and emotions of ordinary people, transforming conversations into artworks that provide solace, seeking to reveal hidden emotions in typically monochrome, minimalist works. Condensing his stories into short lines accompanied by healing affirmations, his work addresses the cycle of joy and sorrow, meeting and parting. Humchuk encourages his audience to take a renewed look at the meaning of loss and farewells.

See stories of You and I come to life under Humchuk’s brush.

Why HongKongers Still Turn to Print

Kayton Tang on November 26, 2024

They say print is dead. 📰☠️🪦

At least, that’s the common belief. But in Hong Kong, print isn’t just surviving; it’s thriving.

PostMag, the Sunday magazine of the South China Morning Post, has been a shining example of this for decades.

For many Hong Kongers, reading it is a cherished Sunday ritual—a moment to pause amidst the bustling city.

As Lee Williamson, Executive Director of Specialist Publications, puts it, part of the magazine’s appeal lies in providing a rare moment of stillness in a hyperstimulated world.

“When you read a magazine, it gives you a moment to recentre, where you don’t get a push notification—isn’t that blissful?”

This appreciation for print reflects Hong Kong’s spirit, where the past is celebrated alongside the new.

In a world dominated by screens, do you still read print?

「靚仔」

Kayton Tang on November 25, 2024

去茶餐廳，你會發現「靚仔」比「鏡仔」更受歡迎。因為白飯喺茶餐廳有個專屬title叫「靚仔」，想當年呢個係侍應間嘅暗號嚟，只係地道香港人都耳熟能詳！聽到「靚仔」出場，個個香港人都知道有飯開！偶像？行埋一邊啦！

呢啲茶餐廳達文西密碼，你又識幾多?
