In this post, the Monkey explores Hong Kong’s history from a rooftop in Kowloon and the waterfront of the city’s magnificent harbor. Great views and a bit of learning guaranteed…
While visiting Macau, the Monkey found the worship of some rather divergent gods—from traditional deities to the priesthood of croupiers—competing for space in the tiny territory.
Volunteering makes a difference. Even an hour of volunteer work per week can help nonprofits and community causes achieve success. Why not look for a volunteer opportunity by searching Idealist.org, Global Volunteer Network, or UN Volunteers?
No time to volunteer? Even a minor donation to GlobalGiving.org can support critical projects in communities around the world.
Or why not become a microlender via Kiva.org? Lend to a person in need, and watch as they achieve their aims and repay your loan.
