Fotografía: 'Invasion' de Paul Tsui.

Esta fotografía no ha sido retocada. Fue nominada para el premio Fotógrafo de viajes del año de National Geographic en 2010, y muestra el Hotel Grand Lisboa en Macao, China.

La imagen de Tsui fue tomada desde una calle en la región administrativa especial china de Macao.

El casino Grand Lisboa, de 47 pisos, fue construido en 2008 y diseñado por los arquitectos Dennis Lau y Ng Chun Man.

"Se dice que su extraña forma, que sobresale en la base y se extiende a medida que se eleva, se inspiró en los tocados de plumas que se usan en el festival Mardi Gras de Río de Janeiro, un guiño arquitectónico a la cultura de influencia portuguesa de Macao".

The lovers 1994 english subtitles srt

THE LOVERS 1994 ENGLISH SUBTITLES SRT MOVIE

The shrink is also having a sexual relationship with someone young enough to be his daughter and the film goes like this…. However, their short love affair ends in disaster. There, she falls in love with a poor, but industrious young man. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, parents dress a pretty girl like a boy, so she may be educated in a local boarding school. This involves Bruce Willis playing a shrink whose patients are getting bumped off one by one. With Nicky Wu, Charlie Yeung, Carrie Ng, Elvis Tsui. Whether it’s Bruce Willis’s hairpiece or the overblown pool sex scene (although Paul Verhoeven topped that a year later in SHOWGIRLS), COLOR OF NIGHT is frequently amusing. It’s one of those films you can put into the so-bad-it’s-good category of entertainment, in that it’s filled with unintentional laughs and funny scenes that showcase some OTT acting from most of the cast.

THE LOVERS 1994 ENGLISH SUBTITLES SRT MOVIE

Still, despite the paucity of imagination and the silliness of the script, watching this movie turns out to be quite a lot of fun. He recalls initially being in love with Su-in, but she rejects him. He shares his memories with his friend Cheol-hyeon (Park Young-woo). The most annoying thing about the production is that the plot hinges on a crucial twist that will be obvious to even the most shortsighted viewer, right from the outset, but we’re asked to suspend our disbelief until the very end before said twist is revealed. Lee Ji-hwan (Cha Tae-hyun) receives photographs in the mail that reminds him of how he met two girls, Shim Su-in (Son Ye-jin) and Kim Gyeong-heui (Lee Eun-ju), one summer five years ago. COLOR OF NIGHT is a dated, cheesy, film, a ’90s misfire that attempted to ride the wave of psycho-sexual thrillers in the wake of FATAL ATTRACTION and BASIC INSTINCT and failed from the outset.

Day 1 - 9 November 2003 - Flight to Hong Kong from SFO terminal "A"

Sunday 9 November 2003

Konnichiwa, Ni Hao and Ola!

Today marks fifteen years since my visit to East Asia, particularly the Hong Kong and Macau special administrative regions of China, plus a partial day at Tokyo Narita airport. Actually I would not stop at Narita until Thursday 13th November 2003. This would be the first time in my adult life, and so far it is the only time, that I would cross the international date line. You may have heard in the news about the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge that was opened recently. When I visited in November 2003, this was not even an idea (at least to most US citizens) that this could be built. Without crossing into the PRC, the only way to go between Hong Kong and Macau, was by boat.

I would like to break up my visit into four parts as there is so much to tell.

- 9th to 10th SFO to HKG nonstop, coach from Chek Lap Kok airport to hotel via Kowloon, 7 Eleven at Queen's Road West near Hill Road (Shek Tong Tsui district).

- 11th Breakfast at hotel, Hong Kong to Macau ferry, lunch on Coloane, St Paul cathedral, and ferry back to Hong Kong, with a journey on the MTR subway and tramway back to the hotel.

- 12th Breakfast at McDonald's, bus to Central, Repulse Bay, Stanley Market and Aberdeen, MTR to Sheung Kwan O, Tung Chung and Kowloon

- 13th Minibus to HKG airport, flight to Narita, afternoon and "beef bowl udon", flight to SFO, arrival the "same day"

Let's start with why I went to Hong Kong and Macau and back via Narita. Instead of my usual journey to Europe as I did in August of that year, I was suggested to give Hong Kong a try, and not worry that I speak very little Mandarin or Cantonese. United Airlines at the time, had a special package of roundtrip airfare to Hong Kong, three day's accommodations and offers of touristic interest for a good price. I had to renew my passport from 1994 as it would expire in any case.

Sunday 9th November was my flight, nonstop from San Francisco Terminal A to Hong Kong. It was in a Boeing 747 and in the economy class when economy class at least had decent legroom. Before the flight, I wanted to try some "congee" with shrimp. Congee is a savory rice porridge, about the same consistency as an average bowl of Quaker Oats. A little soy sauce can give it a nice flavor.

I think the flight departed around 1:10 PM Pacific. It would not arrive in Hong Kong until at least 8 PM the next day (Monday 10th November), so that makes the flight about 15 hours long, not quite as long as a flight from the US west coast to Auckland, New Zealand. On the plane, you cannot automatically perceive crossing the international date line. At the time, the 747 did not have individually controlled entertainment in economy class as a 777 would, it was all centralized, I have no idea about the situation in business or the still-existent first class. I remember watching four films in total, including "Whale Rider" from New Zealand, I remember distinctly that traditional Chinese subtitles were on-screen for that film. During the flight there was a snack and then supper. At some times, the flight attendants would serve Chinese tea, where you would not add sugar or anything else, just tea leaves and hot water.

It seemed like for the most part, the day went on "forever", until the plane approached Japanese airspace - and then the 9th turned into the 10th, kind of like it's 4:30 PM on the 9th, and then suddenly it's 4:31 PM on the 10th, that's what crossing the international date line westward sort of feels like. The sun was getting low, and the plane made a southwest turn, to just touch the eastern Chinese coastline for the next two hours. As the plane approached Hong Kong, the sun set and the sky was getting dimmer. The plane touched down about 7:30 PM. Everyone alighted the plane to be processed by Hong Kong SAR customs.

If you remember Autumn 2003, you might remember the SARS epidemic. SARS was defined as "severe acute respiratory syndrome". The epicenter was Hong Kong, and Macau also was taking precautions to minize the effects. At passport control, you had to make a declaration that you had to state your health condition, namely stating any health symptoms if any, in addition, there were body temperature sensors, to make sure that travellers did not have a fever. The Hong Kong entry passport stamp allowed US Citizens a visa-free stay of 90 days, I think Macau it was down to 30 days. After passport control, I had to go to the baggage claim and meet the tour bus that was booked in addition to my hotel stay. While the tour bus had not yet arrived, I went to the MTR sales booth to buy a subway pass. It was called the "Octopus Card", and allowed three days of unlimited subway travel, plus a HK $200 stored value for bus and trolley rides. It even could be recharged at the local 7 Eleven stores for cash. I withdrew about US $ 100.00 to start, and I think the rate was around US 1= 8.20 HK. The Macau Pataca, I would find out, would be at par with the Hong Kong dollar, and local banks would be reluctant to exchange Hong Kong dollars for Patacas. More on that in the following chapter.

The bus came around 8:30 PM and the bus dispatcher had to tally up who was staying in Kowloon and who was staying in Hong Kong Island. The bus drove along Route 8 which passed through Tsing Yi, Disneyland Hong Kong, Tsing Yi and ended up in Kowloon. The bus dropped a few people off somewhere along Nathan Road or some side street closeby. Then the bus went under Kowloon Bay in tunnel to Queen's Road West, though the bus made a stop after leaving the tunnel. I did not arrive at my hotel until at least 9:30 PM. I was staying at the Novotel in the Sai Wan district, which currently now is the Hotel Jen. There was a McDonald's and a 7 Eleven store close by. For maybe $ 6 US, I bought a couple of curry buns (pulled chicken or pork) and a can of Sprite and a bottle of Lucozade. And I topped up my Octopus Card for bus fare if needed later.

My room was on the 22nd floor, and I think the outdoor pool was on the 25th floor. My room did not have the best view but it was okay. I had a room looking at the ramp of Hill Road, leading to Connaught Road. The room had a remote control to control the radio, TV, alarm clock, and many things imaginable. The bathroom was pretty much similar to those I knew in the US, Canada and Europe. Electricity was the same as in the UK, namely the "G" type plug. I found the next day that Macau also uses the "G" plug. I did not watch TV but I had my Aiwa HS JS 479 and could listen to and record the local stations, most of them were in Cantonese, there was also the BBC World Service in English.

I think I went to bed about 11 PM after enjoying my curry bun and Sprite. The bed was firmer than most that I remembered, was not too bad. Somehow or other, I thought, if the hotel has a free shuttle to the Hong Kong-Macau ferry terminal, why not go? I did not plan to visit Macau but thought, as long as I am in that part of the world, there was no better time to go. Looking back 15 years on, I am glad I did.

So that was all for the 9th and the 10th November 2003. Next chapter, ferry ride to Macau, and views of its Portuguese past.

Thank you and good night!

謝謝，晚安！! (Xièxiè, wan'an!)

Obrigado e boa noite!

ありがとう、おやすみなさい! (Arigato, oyasuminasai!)

Wing Chun Dao My Mission Statement, by Sifu Paul Fernandez,

My journey in the martial arts begun when I was a little boy, in the early 70s where I was greatly influenced by the brilliance of the great Bruce Lee.

Being a son of Italian immigrants, we landed in the shores of Australia in late 1965, son of three children my father was a professional soccer player, he was captain of the A grade division team of Catania in Italy for many years before towards the end of his career he was offered an opportunity to develop soccer in Australia in Melbourne. We then later moved to Adelaide Australia where he concentrated his professional coaching career for the rest of his days.

It was ingrained into myself and my older brother Maurice to excel and succeed in sports and to always look at sports as a way of life and wellbeing as a form of high-level concentration. I will always be grateful to my father for having instilled this mindset into us from when we were born. It is without doubt one of the most powerful driving factors in our lives. Needless to say my father was an advocate for boxing and adored the great Ali, I still remember him taking me to an Aussie pub where we watched via Cable TV the fight between Foremen and Ali, the Rumble in the Jungle, I was 9 years old and I can still remember my fear that Ali was going to lose.

As a child I was very affected by the martial arts as was my older brother, mainly because at school there was always problems of racial integration and bullyism, the Italians along with the Greeks or the Vietnamese were never looked upon with great affection, so it was pretty normal to get into daily scraps even when going to primary school. So, it was in that period I was deeply affected seeing Bruce Lee. A powerful image that represented a sort of superhero image that would fix up thugs, bullies and the big guys. What an image!

So! In 1971 My brother started taking lessons from Sifu Jim Fung, a teacher who was connected to some master I had never heard of called Sigung Choy and apparently they both had contact with Yip Man who at the time was alive. Which to me was really exciting because I thought wow, these guys must be something really special cos they probably know or had some sort of training with Bruce Lee…Lol hey how does a 6 year old supposed to think?

At the time he was teaching at the Adelaide University and then I started after a while learning from my brother. In 1972 Sifu Jim had opened a school in Gouger Street Adelaide on the 3rd floor above a ballet school. And I had just turned 7 years old, I started going and I was really wide eyed and truly excited to be learning this art, I just gave it my everything to become really good.

It wasn’t until the year after in 1973 that Sifu Jim opened his official school next door which became the definite school for the remainder of the time.

So, in my formative years I would follow my brother religiously to all of Sifu Jim’s lessons and met many of the instructors there at the time and just trained really hard with my older brother who is quite a few years my senior. Almost like an older uncle lol… At the time I never understood or realised the importance of lineages or realised that maybe I should have taken selfies to prove I was there,lol, thank God a couple of photos were taken, and plus many of the old and most important instructors of the lineage still remember me. However What was the most important thing was the value we got out of it, the importance of what we studied, the people we met, meeting GM Tsui Shung Tin and so on.

I never would have thought especially in the 70s how the world would have viewed Wing Chun today through the eyes of this internet, which can be a wonderful tool as much as it can be equally destructive. All I can say about this tool is that if it is not used wisely it can take away the one thing we strived for and took for granted. The willingness, the sense of anticipation, the methodology of forcing your mind to remember instructions, the attitude of getting out to meet people especially new people from different parts of the world and more importantly, having fun and connect with others!

A lot of this with internet seems to be disappearing and Wing Chun is DEFINITELY NOT ABOUT THIS.

In any case, I will continue with my journey.

Many people will judge my journey as being incorrect, or not being faithful to the wing Chun principles but that’s fine, Wing Chun has always been my home regardless of where I have been and it’s easy to explain why.

People will also accuse me to have copied Bruce Lee but my response to that is Ni…in the sense I was greatly inspired by many many people who had the balls to do their own thing and stand on their own feet BUT I definitely took my own Path, and yes Bruce Lee was definitely a great if not my first inspiration. But so was Mohammad Ali, so was Joe Louis, so was Anderson Silva, so was Bas Rutten, GM Tsui Shung Tin, Mike Tyson, Wong SHong Leung, so was Ip Ching, Ip Chun, Marco Ruas,Leung Ting, Tim Witherspoon, Lyte Burley, my good friend Vince Palumbo and his Grand master Cacoy Canete, Emin Boztepe, Sifu Salih Avci, Fedor Emiliankov, Steven Seagal, the Stories of GGM Yip Man, my brother his colleagues,My pops, my friends and students who sacrifice their lives in the police and military forces constantly

The list actually continues I have many more intimate friends I could include who are not well known to the public who are as equally important, but my point is that all these people have broadened my mind and helped me grow in different areas of COMBAT and especially in Street combat which cannot be denied. THIS Has helped me grow in over 5 decades of experience.

A lot of this knowledge I have cross trained over many years and trained it back against wing Chun. It has helped me greatly improve my Wing Chun.

More importantly it got me to my actual mission statement. Which was to broaden, expand and adapt my Chi Sao. This occurred after many many years when I had a much deeper understanding of Chi Sao, Long pole Chi Sao, my sword, and much deeper connecting factors which include internal work. When I then started cross training with people who did Tai Chi Pushing hands. I saw a much deeper connection of Wing Chun with many combat systems and the internal arts.

I connected this type of chi sao work and started globalising it with many forms of Combat, my first being Boxing which was easy for me because I started doing it in the late 70s. I connected it with my weapons work, my grappling work, with what my Greek Roman wrestling teacher has taught me in the last few years, with my Clinching, elbow and Knee work, with security or police control work and close quarter combat work.

The work is very intensive and rewarding and you need to understand wing chun to progress.

I have a very structured system which follows the Wing Chun structure,

Without Wing Chun you cannot progress that’s your starting point.

My system was founded in 2005, it always had the 3 Chinese Emblems called Wing Chun Dao, but initially alongside those emblems was the writing WingTchunDo, then eventually I discarded that and it retained its original name format. This is what I teach and have been teaching to my personal students for years.

Whoever likes these ideas and wishes to follow or learn about Wing Chun Dao can message me privately on messenger thank you.

Hong Kong is a vibrant and exciting city with a unique blend of East and West, and there is plenty to see and do during a 5-day trip. Here are some suggestions for a 5-day travel plan in Hong Kong:

Day 1:

Arrive in Hong Kong and check into your hotel. Spend the afternoon exploring the city's main attractions, such as the Victoria Peak, the Hong Kong Museum of Art, and the Star Ferry.

In the evening, head to the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront for a stroll along the promenade and some stunning views of the city skyline.

Day 2:

Take a day trip to the nearby island of Lantau, home to the Giant Buddha and the Po Lin Monastery. You can take a cable car up to the peak of the mountain for some breathtaking views of the island, or visit the nearby Tai O fishing village to see the stilt houses and try some local seafood.

In the evening, head back to Hong Kong and enjoy dinner at one of the city's many international restaurants.

Day 3:

Spend the day exploring the vibrant neighborhoods of Hong Kong, such as Causeway Bay, Mongkok, and Central. Each of these areas has its own character and charm, and you can find everything from bustling street markets to trendy shopping malls.

In the evening, head to the Lan Kwai Fong area for dinner at one of the many restaurants and bars in the area.

Day 4:

Take a day trip to the nearby city of Macau, which is known for its casinos and colonial-style architecture. You can visit the Ruins of St. Paul's, the Macau Tower, and the Macau Museum, or simply take a stroll through the old streets and try some of the local Portuguese-style pastries.

In the evening, return to Hong Kong and enjoy dinner at one of the city's many local restaurants or street food stalls.

Day 5:

Spend the day exploring the outdoors in Hong Kong. You can take a hike along one of the many trails in the city, visit the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens, or go beach-hopping on one of the many outlying islands.

In the evening, enjoy your last night in the city with a farewell dinner at a local restaurant.

I hope these suggestions help you plan your 5-day trip to Hong Kong. Have a great time exploring this amazing city!
