I really f**king love Hong Kong, and Funassyi! Bluesky user #55,617 -- joined in May 2023! -- but am also "over there" too. Yes, I'm still straddling between Twitter and here (because there still are not enough Hongkongers and Funassyi fans here!).
Wow... a Leon Lai fan admission!😅 (I am too, actually. For years/decades, I was mocked for maintaining that he's actually a good actor. And for those who don't think so, check him out in "Comrades, Almost a Love Story", "Fallen Angels", "A Hero Never Dies" and "Infernal Affairs III"!)

Among the few things I enjoy about rainy Hong Kong days: (successful) yellow umbrella spotting.
57AJH#Hongkong July’s weather - it’s getting tedious
Recently a Malaysian friend shocked me by asking me "How come it was foreigners, not locals, protesting in Hong Kong in 2019?" I guess she saw those grainy photos of random gweilo but she realised how wrong she was when I showed her a video of the 2 million (+1) march of June 16th, 2019...
Ryan Ho Kilpatrick 何松濤Anecdotally, it’s a motte-and-bailey approach I’ve gotten used to from the more pro-establishment people in my life, who used to claim CIA agents were handing out cash at marches and giving orders because someone in their WhatsApp group shared a grainy photo of some random gweilo near a protest site
Both nice themes to me -- but the truth of the matter is that I have far more photos of egrets and herons than outright, or even mainly, yellow birds!
CheechRob's theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #EgretsAndHerons or #Yellow. #JamaicanVireo #LittleBlueHeron #YellowWarbler #CanonR5ii #BirdPhotography
Funassyi can speak Mandarin! It's self taught and became interested in learning Mandarin thanks to being interested in a "The Three Kingdoms" video game! (The Pear (Fairy) is a video gamer and history buff who also is interested in Japan's Sengoku/Warring States period.)

1/ Food also tends to invariably look amazing in Japanese films. A foodie friend recounted how after watching "Departures", she told her husband, "I want to eat shirako!" Whereupon he retorted, "You KNOW you just watched a film about death, right?"
Shelly Kraicer“and all the food looks horrible” (my favourite line from @emilyrcwilson.bsky.social ‘s glorious review) seems like one of the worst things you can say about a film. Total downer. Fortunately, in my field, Chinese language cinema, all the food always looks amazing. Even in the worst films. 🥟 🥢
There are authoritarian regimes that don't hold elections. Then there are authoritarian regimes that hold "elections" that they want people to think are genuine elections. And one way of getting (gullible) people to think that is for the "elections" to have high/respectable voter participation.
Ai-Men Lau 劉羿雯"Myanmar courts have sentenced nine activists to up to 37 years in prison for participating in a protest that urged the public to boycott last December’s elections."
One reason why I HATE the "Hong Kong is dead" allegations is that the insinuation is "The story is over. Let's move on". But since the story ISN'T over, those who persist really could do with people's support and their voices really could do with being amplified.Thanks to those who do this. Ga yau!
Xun-ling Au 歐迅灵 🏴Every candle, paper crane, bunch of flowers, every graffiti, every slightly wrong translation, every umbrella, rain coat, every time there are too many police at a place on a day... those things show Hong kong isnt dead, That there that is someone who remembers & indeed many people who persist🖐☝️
What a jumble of an article that actually discusses cha chaan teng outside as well as inside Hong Kong. Also, fact check: "Mido Cafe, which opened in 1950 and was one of the oldest, shut its doors earlier this year." Mido Cafe is still open for business actually (except on Wednesdays).
SAVEURHong Kong’s cha chaan teng face an uncertain future, but young people are determined to keep the diners’ spirit alive.
I've not seen this piece by Japanese journalist Waka Ikeda shared here or any coverage of Albanese's mocking of Takaichi. Think it merits attention. www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2...
Ten years ago, Funassyi starred in a TV movie entitled... "Detective Funassyi". The Pear (Fairy) didn't actually appear in a deerstalker and trenchcoat in the show but did so when doing PR on TV news shows... 😂
