Lantau Island

So the news coverage of these otter and koi incidents make human koi owners out to be victims of financial loss.

Here at Lantau, owners of this home were out when an otter struck.

Their neighbors saw it squeeze past the gates, making a beeline for the pond.

In a matter of minutes, all six koi fishers were gobbled up.

Sure.

So on Friday night, some friends and I joined in the Moon Trekker event, and we walked 35 kilometers across Lantau, braving the heat, braving the conditions.

And we did that to support the Karen Lung Foundation, which is the Hong Kong-based charity which raises money to promote awareness of women's cancers, gynecological cancers, HPV, this kind of thing.

And it's a really good cause, one that's very personal to my wife and I.

Sorry to any Cantonese-speaking listeners.

But it's now on Lantau Island, which is where I grew up.

Huge airport, three one-ways, all reclaimed land.

But Kai Tak was unique in that it was very central to hong kong and at the time when it was built it wasn't actually that central but considering what hong kong is now it's like surrounded by skyscrapers it is still it's in the bay of like when you look at a picture of hong kong and you see the little like um harbor and you've got all the skyscrapers not that far around that harbor kaitak is there

Right.

He will only be participating in the Battle Royale on Lantau Island after the round robin is over.

So we can't even compare his performance against other Gundam fighters who Domon also

fights.

Domon fights various people, overcomes them, encounters some strong new opponents who really challenge him.

Maybe somebody like Schwarzbruder is built up to be this impossible challenge that Domon is going to have to face someday.

Then they get to the finals at Lantau Island, and Domon is like, arrives a little bit late, maybe delayed by something, and finds all of the other Gundam fighters already defeated.

The island is just strewn with wrecked mobile fighters, and there, standing in the smoke, the master Gundam.

Lucky enough, we had one day to travel there on our own, and it was my birthday, June 25th.

I decided to go to an island called Lantau that my Chinese religious studies professor had told me about.

It has the largest sitting Buddha in the world and a wonderful vegetarian restaurant.

Best of all, there is a walk around the island near the temple that he told me I had to take.

That's an example of an airport which moved out of the busy city center.

It closed in the late 90s and it moved to a new airport, a big airport out on Lantau Island.

But some cities have kept their convenient city airports.

So you mentioned Haneda for Tokyo.

Cathay

780R, on your present heading, there will bring you a close base around Lantau Island.

I'll advise if this is any, if you're too close.

Cathay 780R, I can't see Lantau for cloud, but we've got this island just to the south-east of the airfield.

780R, your present heading is the most efficient to miss the Lantau Island and still make the right base.

Cathay 780R.

Having tested each of the thrust levers, Captain Waters discovered that engine 1 still responded somewhat, so he decided to use this engine to keep the aircraft flying.

He immediately hoisted the mainsail, and the fleet weighed, apparently in great confusion.

They worked to windward all night and part of the next day, and anchored about one o'clock in a bay under the island of Lantau, where the head admiral of Ladrones was lying at anchor about 200 vessels and a Portuguese brig they had captured a few days before, and murdered the captain and part of the crew.

Saturday the 23rd, early in the morning, a fishing boat came to the fleet to inquire if they had captured a European boat.

Being answered in the affirmative, they came to the vessel I was in.

In this action, very few prisoners were taken.

The men belonging to the captured vessels drowned themselves, as they were sure of suffering a lingering and cruel death if taken after making resistance.

The Admiral left the fleet in charge of his brother, the second in command, and proceeded with his own vessel towards Lantau.

The fleet remained in this river, cutting paddy and getting the necessary supplies.
