travel journal</a><br /><i>by Lena Sin and Nicholas Tay </i></p> <p>In this joyful travel sketchbook, Hong Kong is captured through the hearts of a writer and an artist. </p> <p>From the winding, incense-filled streets of Sheung Wan to the pandemonium of a wet market in North Point to the sleepy island backwater of Tai O, Lena Sin and Nicholas Tay take you on a wonder-filled journey that shines a light on the softer, more romantic side of this chaotic city. </p> <p>Filled with tales of growing up in Hong Kong, Lena weaves personal anecdotes and conversations with locals with richly-illustrated watercolours and photographs by herself and artist husband Nicholas. The result is an intimate portrait of a city that is at once vibrant and energetic as well as charming and nostalgic.</p> <p>Click on <a href="http://app.streamsend.com/c/27919053/1185//mhgR?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blacksmithbooks.com%2Fbooks%2Fhow-to-hong-kong-an-illustrated-travel-journal%2F">this link</a> to see some images from the book! </td> <td valign="top" width="180" style="padding: 0px 0px 16px 16px"> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="right" style="border-collapse: collapse"> <tbody> <tr> <td align="right" style="padding: 0px"><a href="http://app.streamsend.com/c/27919053/1187//mhgR?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.blacksmithbooks.com%2Fbooks%2Fhow-to-hong-kong-an-illustrated-travel-journal%2F" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='180'%20height='127'%20viewBox='0%200%20180%20127'%3E%3C/svg%3E" border="0" width="180" class="user_uploaded_image perfmatters-lazy" style="display: block" height="127" data-src="//www.blacksmithbooks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/how_to_hong_kong_em-679c50a816fc6bbc1239ac10d4795485.jpg" /><noscript><img decoding="async" src="//www.blacksmithbooks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/how_to_hong_kong_em-679c50a816fc6bbc1239ac10d4795485.jpg" border="0" width="180" class="user_uploaded_image" style="display: block" height="127"></noscript></a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <div style="clear: both"></div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="273" valign="top" align="left"> <img decoding="async" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='1'%20height='29'%20viewBox='0%200%201%2029'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt style="display: block" width="1" height="29" class="perfmatters-lazy" data-src="http://app.streamsend.com/images/templates/1051/spacer.gif" /><noscript><img decoding="async" src="http://app.streamsend.com/images/templates/1051/spacer.gif" alt="" style="display: block" width="1" height="29"></noscript> </td> <td width="277" valign="top" align="left"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div style="border: medium none" data-type="block"> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" valign="top" height="24" align="left"> <p> <span style="color: rgb(220, 171, 57); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold"><br /> </span><span style="color: rgb(61, 133, 198); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold"><span style="color: rgb(61, 133, 198)"><span style="color: rgb(61, 133, 198); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold"><span style="color: rgb(61, 133, 198)"><span style="color: rgb(61, 133, 198); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold"><span style="color: rgb(61, 133, 198)"><font size="4"><font face="Arial">Book launch: <span style="color: rgb(39, 78, 19)">Sheriff of Wan Chai</span></font></font></span></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(56, 118, 29)"><font face="Arial"><b><span lang="en-au"><font size="4"><font face="Arial"><b><span lang="en-au"><font size="4"> <span style="color: rgb(61, 133, 198)">at the Fringe Club</span><br /></font></span><br /> </b></font></font></span></b></font></span></span></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" valign="top" height="10" align="left"> <img decoding="async" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20width='534'%20height='2'%20viewBox='0%200%20534%202'%3E%3C/svg%3E" alt style="display: block" width="534" height="2" class="perfmatters-lazy" data-src="http://app.streamsend.com/images/templates/1051/divider.gif" /><noscript><img decoding="async" src="http://app.streamsend.com/images/templates/1051/divider.gif" alt="" style="display: block" width="534" height="2"></noscript> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px" valign="top" align="left"> <div> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; mso-table-lspace: 0; mso-table-rspace: 0"> <tr> <td valign="top" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 20px" width="354">In 1976, <b>Peter Mann</b> left a gloomy England for the last corner of the British empire: Hong Kong.
