The lions are back.
Stephen and Stitt are not just ordinary bronze lions, the 85-year old lions still bear injuries from the Second World War and the social unrest in 2020.
The lions have guarded the entrance of HSBC headquarters in Central since 1935.
During the Second World War, the two lions were sent to Japan to be melted down, but were saved at the sudden end of war. An American sailor recognised the lions in a dockyard in Osaka in 1945 and the lions were rescued and restored to their original positions in October 1946. Bullet holes can still be found on Stephen’s left flank. (𝘗𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰 𝟺)
During the protest on New Year’s Day in 2020, the lions were sprayed with red paint and set on fire. They were removed from public view for restoration since then for the third time in their history.
The lions are back on public view after first phase of restoration works. Welcome back. Many visit the lions today, taking photos and touching his head and paws.
Full restoration can be done only when British experts can fly to Hong Kong.

Stephen, the growling lion, was named after Alexander Gordon Stephen, the Chief Manager of HSBC in 1923, and Stitt, the quiescent one, was named after Gordon Holmes Stitt, formerly Manager Shanghai.

Meat-lovers, rejoice! Porterhouse has just launched their “Beef It Up” menu from Sunday to Tuesday featuring UNLIMITED portions of five different cuts of meat. 🥩
.
For HK$528, begin your meal with a beef consommé, then move onto your choice of starter (the tartare was fantastic) before having your fill of Italian Marango meat (topside, brisket, flank, rump) and Australian black angus (sirloin). 🐮 If you still have room left, this set comes with dessert too! 🍦

Ah; the good ol', regular Splattershot. It's a jack of all trades, and master of none. I remember when I first started playing Splatoon, and thinking a Bomb Rush of Burst Bombs was so fun, formidable, and intimidating.
I decided to go for a hip-hoppy recording-artist look like Studio Headphones, Green Zip Hoodie, and Shark Moccasins.
I don't like Port Mackerel's chokepointy nature; it's fun when one is winning, but not when one is not. I tried to flank without despairing or suiciding too much.
Although Museum d'Alfonsino is more open, it's hard to flank against a dominating team if they are playing defensively. Still, it's still one of my favorite maps because of the rotating, multi-level platforms.
I played one round on Saltspray Rig after a map-change.
The Splattershot was a comfortable loadout. Although its range and damage left something to be desired; its weak Sub and Special weapons didn't offer much added range or utility, it's well-rounded, allows for good mobility, and can go for a long time without having to recharge ink.
