Jun 13:  The Forum & Classifieds Need Your Help!

So many Lammaites have been selling & buying stuff, advertising their services and finding & letting flats via our free classifieds over the years, it would be great to make them community-supported.

Our forum is totally advertising-free and I'd prefer to keep it this way. I've been paying all the running costs myself, mainly the yearly webhosting of HK$1,440, but also various other smaller expenses. This forum is the most labour-intensive and by far the most troublesome part of this entire website (spam attacks, registrations, hosting problems, backups, maintenance, etc.), but it generates absolutely no revenue...

Jun 11:  Plastic Jesus

Frazer & The McGilvrays in The Island Bar, Apr 13, '13

Kelly Morgan: Groupie, err, ardent fan of this band:

(Photos by Lamma-Gung)

"I don't care if it rains or freezes
'Long as I got my plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through my trials and tribulations
And my travels through the nations
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far…"

How far, through how many nations?

One day a few years back in St Kilda, Australia, I happened upon a piece of plastic statuary in a gift shop. 16,383 kilometres away, in Washington DC, was the desk of Frazer McGilvray. There the little Lord duly arrived, packaged up with some Vegemite and Tim Tams.

Fast forward a few years, and an uncannily familiar spring-mounted savior appeared on the bookshelf in my spare room on Lamma, 13,128 kilometres from DC. Under questioning, Leigh Eggins admitted to ownership, and told him Frazer had given him the dashboard deity, little suspecting it would make its way back into my world, as Leigh and I had yet to even meet at that point.

In the intervening years the frequently airborne Almighty had made the journey from DC to Hawaii, a mere 8,954 kilometres, before journeying the 8,923 k's between Hong Kong and Honolulu.

And now, our back-packing bobble head is homeward bound again, returned to Frazer's tender mercies, and a home on the dashboard of an electric car in Honolulu. (Or is he?) Frazer's currently en-route to Bali 3,248 kilometres in the wrong direction. So I have to wonder, did the Lord actually make it into the luggage?

A quick addendum...

The blasted thing is now back at my flat, having enjoyed a brief sojourn behind the bar in the Island Bar. Its journey will, however, continue. Just trying to figure out which Cur gets it next.

Maybe Harry. We're awaiting the day when it makes a cameo appearance in the background of a Harry cartoon somewhere...

Jun 10:  The Bearded Ukuladies Expeditionary Triumphs and Travesties...

There are a small, but growing number of Lamma-specific groups on Facebook these days. For example the new open group above, with some of these members, so far mostly fine specimens of the endangered species Homo Lammapiens, with Living Lamma Legend Harry Harrison as their valiant and fearless (to embarrass himself) (cheer)leader, or should we call him their cute'n'cuddly mascot?

Wouldn't you want to belong to a great group that describes itself this way:

"Members are encouraged to post videos of themselves mastering or murdering their favourite songs to the strum of a ukulele."

Jun 8:  Beach Beancurd on Car-Free, Carefree Island

Smile, the in-flight magazine of Cebu Pacific Airline, The Philippines
(recommended by Honourary Lammaite Andy Maluche):

"Ferry Tales

In search of an escape from the high-energy exuding city, Mark Parren Taylor hops on a boat for a welcoming change of pace, and explores Hong Kong's rustic islands....

Yung Shue Wan is a busy little village. Its muddle of harborfront restaurants, expat pubs and an assortment of shops and stalls selling everything from local crafts to kitchen sinks, line Main Street. As it's a car-free island, the awkward meeting of a waiter carrying a basket of fish and an elderly lady with a shopping trolley is considered a traffic jam. Other than that, the odd tinkling of a bicycle bell is the nearest thing to road rage...

Many of the village's eateries have terraces that overlook Banyan Bay. Andy's Seafood Sau Kee, for instance, prepares some fine dishes, including steamed garlic prawns that go well alongside the ginger fried rice...

Hidden from the beach by shrubs and grasses, Herboland is a tranquil herb-stuffed garden with a shady cafe serving refreshing teas and snacks made from homegrown fruit and veggies. Owners Gary and Gavin moved here in 2003 to escape the rat race on Hong Kong Island, joining the island's small but active organic scene...

Back in Yung Shue Wan, for instance, there's a handy everything-under-one-roof organic store called Just Green and nearby Bookworm Cafe serves a good cappuccino alongside an eclectic vegetarian and vegan menu..."

Jun 7:  'Is Lamma Island open whole year?'

Lamma Gung on Facebook:

"May I know if Lamma Island is open whole year?"

I've just received this email at info@Lamma.com.hk. What do YOU suggest I should reply? — feeling amused at Lamma Island, Hong Kong.


This post on my Timeline received over 20 replies from my Friends within a few hours, with some really funny and very creative replies! I'll forward most of them to this future Lamma visitor!

It closes daily at 12:30 at night...

It's closed for a month in October to allow for the breeding season.

Any time is possible, but you need a written invitation from a resident.

Currently closed for renovations.

Only accessible to the public during off-peak hours.

Was it from a mainland tour guide?

Did she apply for a Lamma visa?

Maybe, what did you have in mind?

May I know if you will remember to pack your brain with your sandals?

Ask someone to slap your...

Only open during February.

Feb 29th...

Members only, pls.

Open to all nationalities.

Just reply 'No' and hope she doesn't pursue further information.

My three favourite replies:

Yes, definitely open all year round; and did you know about our many lethal snakes?

Non-residents must ring the bell in The Island Bar to signify their arrival.

Mandatory donation of $100 per visitor to the Lamma website.

I'd be very happy with $1 per visitor! Maybe my HK-Chinese wife and I should set up a multilingual Lamma Visitors Info Centre, charging for answers, or be financed through the local authorities or local businesses relying on visitors?
Just another crazy dream...

But I've been doing part of this job for free for years already, replying to almost all visitor enquiries received on this website. Being the top search result for "Lamma Island" on most major search engines, curious visitors find this site very easily...

P.S. Poster by Julie Hannaford and HK Memes, a very poisonous cobra in her front yard.
The "Cheap rent" line is totally out-of-date. It still applies to some remote parts of Lamma, but not at all anymore to Yung Shue Wan and neighbouring villages.

Jun 2:  Dog Poo Castles

Has ANYBODY EVER seen a dog use one of these Dog Latrines?

These faux-wood & broken-tiles designer sandboxes have been pooping, err, popping up all over Lamma Island. There must be several dozens of them by now, even in some of the most remote locations. But I've never seen a dog use one, or even saw a poop in there. So I posted this question above in the active Lamma Dog Owners Facebook group, getting some great, "Typically Lamma!" replies:

I think they're used by non-dogs late at night

I put my kids in them. They love it.

Lamma Gung: Your kids do their business in there? ;-)))
Are they wearing some of these China-style, open-at-the-bottom pants, so they can do their business anywhere?

They make poo castles.

No self-respecting dog would use such thing. Dog experts advise against training your dog to use one as they can be a source of infection (if used by other dogs!)

Lamma Gung: They look a bit like Poo Castles, with the walls around them and the towers and turrets. Let's nickname these overdesigned latrines "Dog Poo Castles".

I saw one dog use one!! Once.

They are just another excuse for 'jobs for the boys' i.e. they give the local contractors something to do.

My little dog pees on the faux wood railing sometimes...

I was once caught short!

My poppy managed to balance a very large pile of poo on the very decorative mosaic tile edge. She thought that the sand means beach and she knows that she can't poo on the beach.

Never.

A human concept for dogs - it's never going to work.

Maybe the dogs are so impressed, they don't want to mess them up.

My last dog used one once out of the blue, there was a very impressed gaggle of tourists. I didn't tell them it was her one and only time. I think that was before they added the fences and tiles, though.

My Laisee likes to use the one near us, because it's nice clean sand, untouched by dog.

This photo from today doesn't show a human caught short, using the wrong public toilet, but one of our wonderful FEHD cleaning ladies raking the sandbox.

Finally, after 3 days of searching, I found 3, only 3 people who admitted to their dogs using these fancy, expensive, public conveniences more than once!

New Dog Latrines: Any dog ever use them?

May 23:  Lamma Dragons Fundraiser

Up for auction this Sat night in The Island Bar, an original by Harry Harrison!

P.S. Harry's drawing went for $9,000 in the fundraising auction, an all-time record, I think. In case you wonder who the people portrayed in the dragonboat are, Harry writes:

"Margaret Thatcher, Sid Vicious, Mick Talbot, Boy George, Kevin Rowland, Wattie Buchan, Martin Fry, Mensi, Robert Smith, Morrissey, David Sylvian, Roddy Frame, Adam Ant...etc..."

May 17:  Rooftop Jungle Home Office

Once upon a time, 5 years ago, there was just a standard, empty, tiled rooftop when we moved in. The initially cute little veggie & flower garden has by now transmogrified into a subtropical jungle with mostly indigenous plants, bushes and creepers, surrounding most of my rooftop, its walls and much of the floor.

There's (almost) no weeding or pruning in this garden, err, jungle (except Mikania) and no pest control of any kind. Whatever is able to grow and survive naturally is welcome to do so freely, including bugs, birds, insects and assorted critters. No chemicals used at all, just occasional plant feedings. Surprisingly, there seem to be hardly any mosquitoes and other bothersome bugs?

Most of what's growing so abundantly right now, I didn't plant myself. It's been seeded to my rooftop by wind, insects and birds from the semi-wilderness and forests close to our home, or seedlings I plucked from the forest years ago. It's mostly HK native plants by now, adapted to HK's climate and surviving well on our exposed rooftop; plus a few decorative flowers and plants multiplying for 5 years now. Watering with a spray hose 3 times a week is fun and all the maintenance and gardening my personal rooftop jungle really needs to prosper.

It's so relaxing to sit up there in my ancient rocking chair, watching the welcome visitors - mostly birds, bees and butterflies - and admiring the daily changing flowers blooming. All the while, I'm reading and streaming music by 4G LTE from the millions of songs in Spotify's Cloud-based jukebox to my wireless headphones.

At the same time, I might handle some of the daily work for this website on my Samsung Note II in my "Rooftop Jungle Home Office", for example snapping and uploading the first photo above straight from my rocking chair. It's the Lamma Life and I'm still loving it...

May 15:  Solar Power Boost

HK Electric's solar power system now comprises 8662 PV modules
which are mainly installed on the rooftops and open area of various locations
at Lamma Power Station.

Where's Hong Kong's largest solar power installation located? Yes, just over the hill from Yung Shue Wan, atop and around the Lamma Power Station. Good news from our "friendly neighbour" HK Electric today, it's getting a major upgrade:

Hong Kong's Largest Solar Power System Gets Capacity Boost to 1MW
[15 May 2013]


By the way, anybody up for my yearly Lamma Power Station tour this summer, including the Solar Power System?

Email me, if you're provisionally interested. Date is Wed morning, Aug 7, 2013. Minimum age 15, maximum number for the tour bus: 35; details.


Talking of Renewable Energy, you've probably heard about HK Electric's planned windfarm 3.5km off Lamma's SW coast, or noticed the windmonitoring tower out there already? This has been discussed since 2006 in our forum in a number of topics. Here's the latest info, plus a map of the plans:

Marine Wind Farm off Lamma.

There's no reclamation involved, just around 35+ large wind turbines in the sea, directly connected to the Lamma Power Station. EIA approved, construction to start in 2015.

May 14:  Night Safari @ Sok Kwu Wan

The Green Hong Kong Green campaign (HK Electric & Conservancy Association) has launched new eco-tours a few months back. Guided by 150 well-trained eco-volunteers, 5 of these almost free, public, Cantonese-only tours are happening on Lamma every month.

I joined one of 3 "Night Safari" tours on Sat, May 4, in Sok Kwu Wan. But first I helped cleaning up a beach in the SKW estuary in the morning, hiked the Southern Family Trail (Mo Tat Wan, Tung O Wan, SKW), and hung out in SKW's restaurant strip (mostly in my new local favourite, LoSo Kitchen), waiting for the safari.

If you can understand Cantonese and would like to go on a safari, check out this new Lamma Eco-tour map first. Here's how to enrol.

The other 4 Lamma-based tours have been introduced in the Lamma-zine, Mar 1: Windy Wonder, Rock Ramble & Night Safari

Yes, South Lamma is becoming an even better and more fun place to experience for nature lovers! Here are a few of my photos:

May 13:  Animated Lamma Map, 1987 - 2012

Google has released fascinating timelapse image of how the Earth's surface has changed since 1984. In the HK map, you can zoom in and watch as Victoria Harbour shrinks through reclamation.

Explore the interactive timelapse Google world map.

Closer to our home, how has the map of Lamma Island changed since the 80s?

I've zoomed in on Lamma and created a little animation by cutting and pasting the yearly frames. Focus on the Power Station expansions and the greening of the ex-Lamma Quarry. View my animated Google satellite map (too large for this home page):
