BEER Asia

Beer lables that I kept from Asia. There are however some notable absenties to mention a few Blue Girl, Kingway (occasionally drank in Hong Kong), Beer Hanoi (obviously Vietnamese) and Leo, from Thailand. There were others which were not even worth keeping, lables for, i.e. Blue Ice, Anchor and Hong Kong Beer.

Bought them in; Skol-Hong Kong, Halida-Vietnam, Singa-Thailand, Kirin-Macau, Tsingtao-China, Tiger-Thailand, Gold-Vietnam, Yanjing-China, Chang-Tailand.

HONG KONG Cheng Chau

The Island of Cheng Chau hosted it's 2008 annual bun festival, which culminates in a midnight scramble up a bun tower in a race to grab as many buns as possible, unfortunatly didn't see that because the last ferry left at half eleven. But it was still a good day, although very busy, with an estimated 20,000 visitors (about twice the island's population).
