Hairy

A bit of a catch-up post: On Friday we walked around Hong Kong park as we do, and have done, many times. This time we went into the hothouses, which I could swear used to cost a few dollars, but are now free. They have some nice cactii!

Then Saturday we went over the harbour to the Art Museum. It's ludicrously cheap (10HKD). A few of the galleries were closed in preparation for some big shows they have coming up, but we saw some of the usual Chinese type exhibits: scrolls, jade, gold and various ancient objects. The modern gallery was hosting a huge installation made of human hair. Visitors were encouraged to snip off some of their own locks attach them to cards and write a message about what hair meant to them. Many people partook, and in fact seemed to be cutting off huge lengths, rather than just a few hairs.
