My first (and maybe only) piece, a little ditty on my adopted hometown of Tai Po, was published in Time Out Hong Kong this week. Not exactly a high-brow publication we’re talking here, so expect adequately amateur level writing. But hey, I’m not complaining - it’s fun seeing Hong Kong through the eyes of a tourist-cum-resident jounalist. And publishing? I’ll take any chance I get.
No online version yet, so here’s a jpg.
Reader beware: there are a few editorial additions that really amp up the cheesy factor (i.e. “All aboard!”) for which I take no credit.
