How much do you know about the Chinese White dolphins #中華白海豚 ? See if can answer all correctly 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
1. What is the colour of baby Chinese White dolphin? Grey or Pink?
2. Why do we call them Chinese White dolphins but not Chinese “Pink” dolphins?
3. What is the nickname of Chinese White dolphins?
It was easy to spot the Chinese White dolphins in Hong Kong water. Dolphin watching is a popular tourist activity in Tai O fishing village.
With one construction project following after the other in the nearby water, including the construction of Hongkong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge #港珠澳大橋 , the Airport third runway #機場三跑 and the upcoming Lantau Tomorrow Vision reclamation Plan #明日大嶼 , the number of Chinese White dolphins has been on a sharp decline going from 188 dolphins in 2003 to only 32 in 2018. The number is expected to drop even further.
Again the question is - development and conservation, which one is more important?
@HKDCS organizes regular dolphin research trips. I have joined their research trips earlier this year and it is highly recommended 👍🏻 Did I see any dolphins? Yes! A few! And the trip was very informative and these are what I have learnt 👇🏻😏
𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫:
1. Grey! Chinese white dolphin is grey and spotty when it is young. Its spots fade and body colour changes to pink when it grows older.
2. Adult chinese White dolphins have white skin. They look pink as there is an increased blood flow to the skin when they swim.
3. Fishermen in Hong Kong call them Sea Pig 海豬!The reason is simple - it is a pink mammal living in the sea.

construction of hong kong airport 在 旅行熱炒店Podcast Facebook 的最讚貼文
特別篇:巴塞隆納,與回程的飛機上
Bonus post: Barcelona, and the flight back
有看日劇的人應該都知道,本篇播完之後有時候還會推出特別篇,劇情接續在結局後面,常見的公式就是疑似出現小三,後來男女主角發現一切都是誤會,最後變得更加相愛(好老哏啊)。而這次,摩洛哥連載完之後我也要來推出個特別篇,主角是西班牙巴塞隆納。
回程在巴塞隆納轉機六個小時。身為一個總是將時間最大化利用的旅人,當然不會放過這麼好的機會;尤其上回來巴塞隆納時都在下雨,今天趁著天氣晴朗,更要好好把之前拍不到的晴空美景好好拍一下。我從機場出發,完全無縫接軌的轉了三趟地鐵、一趟電纜車和一趟公車,來到可以俯瞰全市的山頂教堂(好羨慕歐洲便利的大眾運輸呀)。從這裡看去,連鼎鼎大名的聖家堂都小得像是城市裡一個不起眼的工地,後方的地中海湛藍的很,沒入迷霧中的地平線引起我對於對岸非洲阿爾及利亞的無限想像(又是一個想去卻不能去的國家,唉)。
從語言學的角度來說,巴塞隆納和加泰隆尼亞是個有趣的地方。西班牙境內各地文化差異不小,除了加泰隆尼亞,還有其他好幾個地區也有著自己的語言,使用者人數也都相當可觀;然而,由於巴塞隆納這個城市的文化影響力,使得這裡的獨特文化與獨立運動更容易被全世界注意到,其他地區的獨特性反而就相對被忽略了(舉例來說,現在迪士尼動畫都會有Catalan的配音,但其他地方就只能看西班牙語版)。類似的例子還有華人文化圈裡的廣東話,即使把所有廣義粵語加起來,使用人數其實仍不到全中國人口的1/10,但因為其使用者在全球經濟文化上的影響力(同樣也是普通話以外迪士尼唯一會特別配音的語言),讓一些外國人以為它是普通話以外唯一規模較大的漢族語言。
Barcelona is the special sequal to my Morocco series. I had a 6-hour layover here. As a traveler who always utilizes time to the most, I didn't waste these hours at the airport. Instead, I entered the city while it was sunny, to visit a couple of spots and take photos that I didn't get last time when it was rainy. From the airport, I smoothly transferred 3 subway rides, 1 cable car and 1 bus to a mountain top that overlooks the entire city (and felt so jealous about the convenient public transit in Europe). La Sagrada Familia seemed as tiny as a random construction, and the Mediterranean sea dimmed into the blurred horizon, leaving me plenty of room to imagine Algeria on the other side (anther country I cannot visit. *Sigh*.)
Linguistically Barcelona and Catalonia are a special case. In Spain, a culturally diverse country in Europe, there are many other regions and languages like Catalonia/Catalan, distinct from Spanish and with millions of speakers; however, due to the strong cultural impact of Barcelona, the distinctiveness of Catalonia and its independence movements are more noticeable than other regions. For example, Disney now offers Calatan dub for its animations, but other groups in Spain can only watch them in Spanish.) A similar example is Cantonese in China, while not the largest non-Mandarin language, its cultural impact makes some people think it's the only sizable Chinese language after Mandarin.
傍晚返回巴塞隆納機場,準備飛回波士頓。記得出發前公司同事問我,你這麼常在全世界跑來跑去,都怎麼調時差呢?我說,我唯一的秘訣就是飛機上儘量不睡覺,等到了目的地晚上就可以累到睡著;但這有個前提,就是飛機上必須找得到事情做啊!印象中自己做過最誇張的大概是2012年1月在香港飛紐約的16小時班機上,連續看了12小時不間斷的《我可能不會愛你》,從Maggie勾搭上大仁哥一路看到丁立威找程又青強行復合。就是需要這種會一直讓我追下去的東西,才能幫助我撐過經濟艙裡的漫漫長夜。
而這次飛越大西洋的路上,除了看了幾部老電影,更多時間是在做回到現實生活的心理準備——如同之前遊記提過的,有時候回家比起出來需要更大的勇氣。路上我一直想著,我為什麼旅行?
或許小時候純粹就是遺傳了家父,有事沒事就要跑到不同的地方去走走;但當年紀越來越大,我越來越意識到旅行對我而言不只如此。每次在路上邂逅的人事物,都成為平常生活的養分,讓我更明白如何和不同文化、族群的朋友相處。像是上次旅行回來之後,我和教會裡那些來自前蘇聯國家的朋友就多了一些共同話題,也更理解他們只是比較慢熱,絕對不是不顧情面的戰鬥民族。
因此,雖然很不甘心就要這樣回到碼農的生活,我還是期待著回到家的那一刻;回到現實生活的我會帶著旅行注入的養分,繼續一大早向朋友們熱情、大聲的喊著:
Good morning.
Buenos dias.
早安/早上好。
доброе утро.
おはようございます。
안녕하세요。
Selamat pagi.
Back to the airport before the sunset to fly back to Boston. I still remember before I came on this trip, some coworkers asked me, since you traveled so much, how do you usually deal with jet lag? My answer is: simply stay awake during the entire flight, so you'd be tired enough of sleep at night in the destination. But, how do you keep yourself alive? You need to find something to do. The craziest thing I've done is probably in January 2012, on a 16-hour flight from Hong Kong to New York, I watched the Taiwanese TV show "In time with you" consecutively for 12 hours. Only this kind of things is attractive enough to make me stay awake for that long.
On the transatlantic flight, other than watching some old films, I had been preparing myself to go back to the real life. As said before, sometime it requires more courage to do so than to head out. Throughout the way, I asked myself: why do I travel?
Initially it was probably inherited from my dad, who always likes to go around during his spare time. However, as I grew older, I realized travel means more than that to me -- every person and every matter I encountered on the way became nutritions of my regular life. The more I traveled, the more I knew how to make friends with people from various cultures and ethnicities. For example, after the central Asia/north Asia trip, there has been more things I can talk about with friends from former Soviet Union countries. And I also realized that their are not the people of battles. I simply takes more time to build trust, haha.
Therefore, while still reluctant to go back to my "code farmer" life, I'm still looking forward to arrival. Starting the next day, I'll bring the nutritions from travel into normal life, and greet friends loudly and passionately with:
Good morning.
Buenos dias.
早安/早上好。
доброе утро.
おはようございます。
안녕하세요。
Selamat pagi.

香港10大無人能及的優點
Here are 10 things this great city does better than anywhere else.
1. 摩天大樓全球最多 Building into the sky
香港現時有1,251幢摩天大廈,數量全球最多,比新加坡要多一倍,形成叫世界讚嘆的維港景觀。除了高聳在城中,中銀大廈及香港國際金融中心等亦很具設計特色。
When you've got a heck of a lot of people and very little land, what do you do? Hong Kong's solution is to stack them up on top of each other, inside tall buildings.
2. 敢死的建築技巧 Daredevil construction
其他地方都是用鋼和鋁築棚,香港的竹棚技術讓各國驚訝。CNN甚至用「敢死(Daredevil)」去形容現時超過1,700位註冊竹棚工人呢。
Daredevil scaffolders dangling precariously on bits of bamboo suspended in midair are a common and heart-stopping sight in Hong Kong's streets.
3. 說廣東話的都是語言人才 Tonal talents
內地媒體日前傳言「說廣東話會生癌」,論點極具創意,而 CNN 卻從欣賞角度去看我們的語言 - 廣東話多達 9 個音,比普通話(4音)、泰文(5音)、越南文(6音)要多,每個音都有不同意思,足以讓外國人驚嘆其精細。而在香港,每日更有創新潮語豐富我們的日常對話。所以,識講嘅,一定係講廣東話。
Check out Carlos Douh's YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/carlosdouh), the Internet's most entertaining Cantonese language teacher, for quick and easy Cantonese lessons.
2. 極低罪案率 Staying alive
這裡不單只是全球罪案率最低的城市之一,還是全球最少兇殺案的地方之一,絕對是全球最安全地方。
Hong Kong - with an intentional homicide rate of 0.2 per 100,000 people in the last 16 years - only lost out to Monaco and Palau, where there have been zero recorded murders.
3. 交通發達 Getting you there
香港公共交通系統之方便享譽全球,相對歐美國家,香港對私家車的依賴低得多。CNN 亦讚港鐵的運作表現優良。
Hong Kong is really good at getting you where you need to go.
6. 低稅制 Letting you keep your money
薪俸稅只在15%-17%之間,而香港亦沒有消費稅(GST),是工作生活的好地方。
As a financial center that's historically been seen as the gateway to the Chinese market, Hong Kong is a great place to make money.
7. 武打電影 Kung fu movies
香港出產了李小龍、成龍、周潤發、張曼玉等國際巨星,而武打電影更能打入荷里活市場。外國人都能數得出多部知名武打電影如「臥虎藏龍」、「精武門」、「黃飛鴻」等作品。香港電影業的輝煌,有賴邵氏的貢獻。
Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat, Maggie Cheung, John Woo, Wong Kar-wai ... the list of Hong Kong's cinematic heavy hitters goes on.
8. 優秀的國際機場 Soft landings
香港國際機場由1998年運作至今已取得逾 40 項國際大獎,更一直屹立於Skytrax的全球國際機場排名之中。縱使近年受到新加坡樟宜機場的挑戰,香港國際機場的載客量依然大幅拋離對手。
One of the most impressive sites for Hong Kong visitors is the airport. Sure, it's recently been toppled from the throne by Singapore's Changi Airport.But Hong Kong handles more passenger traffic, 53 million passengers in 2011.
Take that, Singapore.
9. 美食天堂 Foodie-ism
七百萬人,萬五家食府 (實際數字應該更多),其多樣性和創意亦叫人目不暇給。雖然只是彈丸之地,香港有多家米芝蓮星級食府,這裡絕對是覓食的好地方。
Ever tried a syrup-slathered French toast filled with satay beef slices? Or instant noodles dressed in a cheese sauce?
No? You haven't lived.
Take it from this city of people who are very good at eating.
10. 喜愛夜蒲 Partying so hard the neighbors want in on it
中環蘭桂坊有超過 100 家酒吧蒲場,本地及外國人都集中在這裡狂歡。蘭桂坊的成功更被中國其他城市借鏡。
First time visitors to Hong Kong's party area, Lan Kwai Fong, might think they've entered a time warp, suddenly appearing in Ibiza or Cancun at 9 p.m. on a Friday night.
