Before we leave Hong Kong in July I'd like to give one last talk, looking at some of the highlights of running Gwulo since I posted my first page about Hong Kong's history back in 2006.
I'll show some of my favourite photos and tell their tales, and we'll revisit some of the other stories which Gwulo has been involved with that I've found most memorable. I'll also take us on a quick whistle-stop tour of how the website has changed over the years.
We've booked two theatres that have sharp projectors and tiered seating, so that everyone gets a clear view of the photos:
8 May, 7:30 pm - Lecture hall, HK Science Museum, TST - $150 / $75 - Book tickets
22 May, 8 pm - Louis Koo Cinema, HK Arts Centre, Wanchai - $200 / $100 - FULLY BOOKED
(The photo above shows the ticker-tape departure of the RMS Empress of Russia from the Kowloon Wharves in 1928.)
