Desde Hong Kong: Hoy me bebo una cerveza Tsing Tao o dos para celebrar el cumple de mi Habana, o mejor escrito, de nuestra Habana. La ciudad pertenece a quien la habita y a quien la camina, aunque sea por unos pocos dÃas, como también es del que siempre la lleva en el corazón. La Habana […]
This last year of travels has been very rewarding and memorable for us but there is always a bitter feeling every time we have to say goodbye to a city that has been our home for a month or two. By the time you start to create a routine you have to think of packing […]
This past weekend we visited Lantau Island again. We jumped on the cable car that takes you to Tian Tan (The Giant Buddha), passing over the mountains and the ocean.

Tanga was composed by Mario Bauzá, considered by many the father of Afro – Cuban Jazz.
The last blog entry about seafood in Hong Kong put me in a strange mood. Am I really an islander? I am not the only Cuban who ever wondered this, right? Perhaps I should rephrase the question because growing up on a piece of land surrounded by an ocean DOES make me an islander by […]
The more I see Hong Kong the more I love it. All the different districts have so much to offer! Today we went to Sai Kung with our HK friend.
