朋友租下了丹竹坑一塊農地，我便柴姐姐地去八掛一下，順便練一練生態攝影。

Well ….. Someone said they need a quick escape from exhausted work. So I drive them to Pocket Bay, where is only 20 minutes drive from work. Pocket Bay is a nice little old fisherman’s village with good food.

Just a regular meeting with HK relatives.

每年重陽節前，各圍村都忙於煮盆菜。我住在圍村超過十年，吃最多是上水盆菜，也吃過錦田元朗的盆菜，大致上差不多。是年的大圍盆菜宴，用鹽水鴨、粉絲和蝦做的盆菜，跟北區人以豬肉為主的盆菜不同。

Pictures was shot around late January 2001 when Alan was in the New York. All pictures were taken by him with his Minox camera.  

Kitty’s wedding party at the end of February.  

不定期的 100fun 聚會，到 Conrad Brasserie on the Eighth 食 Sunday Brunch Buffet。

是次旅行比較即興，原因是 Joan 公司農曆年放長假，為免浪費了假期，便計劃到日本旅行。我對京都有一份情意結，原因是眾多日本都巿之中，唯獨京都的古蹟保存得比較完整。

受同行友人邀請，四月初到大阪參加業界學術會議，順道觀賞大阪櫻花。
