A samba through LKF

Lan Kwai Fong is lively entertainment district consisting of a variety of international restaurants, bars, and lounges in the midst of the former hawker`s neighourhood. I always find the walk through the windy roads of LKF along the cobble stone lanes to be more exercise than I'm use to out in TKO where the roads are quite flat.

I had fun walking around the Lan Kwai Fong Carnival which is running this weekend in LKF. Many of the local bars had booths outside sellng beer and snacks, and traditional Chinese snacks like the dragon beard card were also being sold. I thought it was a smart idea to set up performances along the different streets. But unfortunately the small stage areas made it very difficult to get a clear view of the performers (whether Brazilian drummers, Kung Fu masters, or Jazz saxophone players).

Today was a great day for the Carnival and I enjoyed spending the time outside since it was such a nice breezy autumn day for an outdoor event.
