on this day we visited the Columbarium where the ashes of Poly's dad are kept. It's like a memorial hall or mausoleum for cremains. It's not far from the lam tin district where Poly's mom lives; it's on the other side of a mountain. The place is like a huge multistory complex where the walls are lined with thousands of plaques; the cremains are behind. Each plaque has a photo and the relevant data. It's hard to explain unless you've seen one. Space is valuable in Hong Kong so everything is stacked up like skyscrapers. Poly didn't want any photos taken.
In this pic Skye is holding a type of shuttlecock that is used in China like a hacky sack for a kicking game. Real feathers are attached to a padded disk of paper layers. I've seen groups of hong kongers kicking these around in parks.
