Words in Hong Kong.

By Koey Li – Hong Kong – China – February 2012

Thank you, Koey Li, for your lovely pictures and words. I really love her chinese writing, so beautiful.

What Koey li told me:
I chose to spread the notes along Shanghai Street because it is a special place which concentrates many special characters of Hong Kong. Along the street, while people and cars busily move around, you can find both old and short, and modern and tall buildings. So, I think it’s a good choice of place to hang your notes in this city. Here is more about it:[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Street ]. However, there are not many people riding bicycles in Hong Kong so I hardly found bikes to hang to notes. Besides, I wrote some Chinese proverbs about life on the four blank notes and hope your little notes and these proverbs can remind the busy people.

Preparations (3).

The letters are almost ready to make a journey all over the world. It took me a lot of time to finish them, but it’s worth all the work. I almost can’t wait to see how all those different people will spread the notes in their cities. So exciting.

Words for strangers by mail.

Inge – Gent – December 2011

Inge was the first person who spread some of my notes.

When I send people notes to spread in their cities, then there are some with a wish on, but there also are a few blanco tags, so then the people can write their own wishes down, in their own languages and hang it on bikes. So did Inge, she’s so good with words, so I was very curious about what she would write down.

I was so surprised when this envelope was in my mailbox. Inge send one of her own handwritten-notes to me, and it makes me smile. It feels like I find a note for myself. Lovely.

Thanks a lot.
More pictures follow soon.
