  • Kuan Yin (Guanyin) (not a postcard)

    Simplistically called the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy and Compassion, this deity appears in many Asian religions under different names.  However because we obtained these items at the Man Mo Taoist temple in Hong Kong, we list them here.  First, they are not postcards, but rather 5-1/8″ x 8-1/4″ glossy single-sheet tracts fully preprinted in Chinese on the reverse.  If you’d like to read what that says, we can scan that for you.  By their nature, they are unused.  Four are available.  Grades: 1

  • Facinating (sic) night views of Wanchai & Admiralty

    Not only is there a spelling error in the caption, we need to tell you that Admiralty only starts behind the tall, well-lit Bank of China Building; and Wanchai is even further behind that.  This photo mostly shows the area near what is now the Macau Ferry terminal.  We would never know this if we didn’t live here.  Grade: 1
