The most annoying thing about living in HK for me was the fact that I was rarely able to work in the garden for more than an hour without getting heatstroke or being bitten by thousands of mosquitoes and other insects. At the moment, I am so glad that they are a thing of the past. </span></div>

<span style="color: #2d0a1c; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Spring is not only a tourist season but also the wedding season for Japanese people. On a visit to a Shrine (“Shinto Shrine” in Japanese), where people worship and pray for good fortune as well as hold wedding ceremonies, I witnessed several traditional Japanese weddings in progress. </span></div>

Unfortunately, the singing talent of this bird makes them one of the most popular cage birds in China. </span></b><br />
