The photos are slowly trickling in.... I am sure there will be more coz some of us are always ALL there.

Also please let me know of any other photos or thoughts you come across on the internet. Doesn't have to be on a blog. It can be in either language. Just want to collect as many first person accounts as possible. Thanks.

Yeah. I know Jovi was last years, but it's sooo good! I had to put it in. And the set link. I couldn't decide if you wanted it on flick or your blog. I went with blog but will add flick.

Why are we up at 5:22am. We should be asleep.

Here's my blog entry on 7.1 (relatively short, just some random thoughts):

I noticed the photo of the woman w/mic presumably on stage during the protests: what's up w/the El Che t-shirt?

Seems sort of strange to sport a communist leader on a t-shirt during a democracy in China. Unless the t-shirt has no political significance, but only has standing in pop culture. Or is it not in support of Che's ideology, but rather the idea of revolution to which he was party?

Hmm.

here's my blog post...I'm looking for more blog on HK politics too

Ummm... that's not a woman. That's Leung Kwok-hung, aka Long Hair {Cheung Mo}, directly elected LegCo representative from New Territories East.

[tom]

Not familiar with him, never having stepped foot in HK. The long hair threw me off.

Thank you for correcting my mistake.

But why is he wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt? Is there political significance, other than "viva la revolucion"?

Hiya tom, here's the skinny:

btw, how's your time for the mile these days?

o-genki de..>;^)..

[tom]

Hi David, genki desu, arigatoo. Still stuck at about the six minute mark for the mile - can't seem to get past the wall.

Thanks for the link. Good article. I understand (who he is and) why he wears the Che t-shirt, now; respect for Che's adherence to a principle, not necessarily Che's adherence to a communist principle.

[Glutterbug]

I dunno. I always see Che as a playboy rich kid who had a lot of fun and was good looking enough to become an icon.

I REALLY need to learn about him but actually I am more interested in the story of how his image became what it is.
