Village/Settlement — 過咗大埔呢個我都已經唔係幾解得返嘅站之後，跟住呢個Canada Water站，我可以解得清楚D嘅。 首先，都係要講少少歷史。Canada Water呢度本身係叫Canada Dock，喺以前船運好發達嘅時候（即係Victorian era），呢個碼頭係主要負責來往加拿大嘅貨物嘅。Canada呢個名就係咁樣嚟。 不過去到後尾，空運開始慢慢取代船運嘅時候 …

A person disguised as food, or food became a person? — As you can see in the picture on the top and the title, you know I’m going to introduce you lobster (龍蝦, Jyutping: lung4 haa1, literally: dragon shrimp) and what it means to Hong Kong people. The crustacean was a kind of luxury food in Hong Kong some decades in…

The name says it all — 跟住呢個站叫Green Park。我哋睇地圖先。 Green Park地鐵站喺Green Park嘅北面，而Green Park嘅南面就係白金漢宮。如果以白金漢宮嘅坐向嚟睇，Green Park就會係王宮嘅左邊。而睇地圖都見到，其實喺Green Park地鐵站出嚟，穿過個公園去王宮都係一條直路嚟嘅啫，所以都真係可以話去睇下都好方便。 Anyway …

新鐵金剛之黑日危機 — 跟住嘅呢個地鐵站，係英國版大富翁第三貴嗰格：Bond Street。呢個站都係銀禧綫（Jubilee line）同東西綫（Central line）嘅轉車站。 Bond Street呢個名嘅來源自然就係附近嘅Bond Street喇吓話？ 講明先：我冇深究過Bond Street地鐵站嘅實際位置（即係個月台係邊條街下低，不過好似話Central l …

同救傷隊有關？ — 跟住呢個站叫St. John’s Wood。呢個地方名第一次嘅紀錄其實係拉丁文，意思應該冇變到啩。 咁見到St. John呢個名，可能第一下會諗到嘅係St. John’s Ambulance聖約翰救傷隊？查過先知，原來可能有關係，因為呢個area係俾咗the Order of St. John嘅。 巧合嘅係，而家喺St. John’s Wood地鐵站出 …
