I wrapped up my happy three-week trip in Toronto with a fond memory of delicious Asian meals, long overdue gatherings and autumn-like nice weather – and returned to Hong Kong. Still jetlagged, I was able to meet some good old friends – first day from the United States, second day from the United Kingdom and third day from Australia - who made a quick summer visit to this city.

I had the pleasure of watching ‘Barbie’ - by myself - earlier this week. Truth be told, I went in with relatively low expectations.

A lifeless blob, a landmass of shredded tissues held together by a briny coagulant, a wreck crawling with mealworms. A whale carcass was found earlier this week in Hong Kong’s eastern waters. Experts have suggested that this was the same specimen that was first spotted two weeks ago - a rare Bryde’s whale, a baleen whale known for its moderate size, twin blowholes with a slow splashguard, and teethless-ness. Bryde’s whales are fairly long, and are dorsally dark, smoky grey.
