- [Mark] I also got a curry with tendon.

Oh, that looks fantastic.

Okay, I'll get a little bit of everything in this bite.

(light music)

Good morning, everyone.

It's Mark Wiens with migrationology.com in Hong Kong.

Ying and I didn't have the best sleep last night.

We woke up at about 2:30 am and have been awake since,

but that's not because the bed isn't comfortable,

the bed is ridiculously comfortable, it's like a cloud,

but just due to the traveling and the jet lag.

But the good news is it is a fresh day in Hong Kong.

We're gonna go have breakfast right now.

Oh, that's the other thing.

We woke up hungry too,

so we've been waiting for breakfast.

And right now, it's 6 am.

(coffee machine whirring)

They have a real mix of food,

from all the different cured meats and salmons

to jamon, (snickers) more ham,

and then also some Chinese things as well.

This is ham like being back in Spain.

And then we got ham, some salmon.

I got some nuts, some Chinese food,

and this is what I need to try first,

is the shumai.

Mmm.

Oh, huge pieces of shrimp in there.

Then also some braised eggplant, I think.

Mmm.

That is really creamy.

This is Europe and China on a single plate.

And then we got some dill salmon.

I think I've had my share of salmon on this trip so far,

and I don't regret any bite of it.

This is a different type of salmon here.

This is so good though

I'm gonna have to go back for more of these.

Mmm.

It's packed with shrimp.

Breakfast was a wonderful success.

And I like how they also have coffee you can take to go,

so I wasn't gonna miss the opportunity.

Right after breakfast, I was thinking of going up

to Victoria Peak, at least that's what I was

thinking about doing this morning,

but it is rainy, it's cloudy.

There's zero visibility, so I guess

that's not gonna happen this morning.

(ticket machine beeps)

Sheung Wan.

(ticket machine beeps)

(fare machine beeps)

The weather has not let up.

It is still raining, so we are jumping on the subway.

We're heading up a couple stations

and on our way to go eat.

(light music)

It looks like it's just gonna drizzle all day long.

(light music)

(diners buzzing)

We made it to Lin Heung Tea House.

This is one of the classic dim sum restaurants in Hong Kong.

And what I love so much about this place

is you're just walking along the street in Hong Kong

and then you come up the flight of stairs.

No matter what time of day you come here

or no matter if it's raining or shining,

there could be, like, horrible weather outside,

and this place will still be packed.

So you just walk in here, you find empty tables,

you share tables with wherever you can find empty seats.

(exhales)

And for ordering here, they push the dim sum around on carts

and every now and then, they will bring out a fresh cart

full of steamed dim sum.

And you do have to kind of be aggressive.

So right now, I'm waiting for a fresh cart

of dim sum to arrive, and I'm gonna pounce upon it.

And then they mark down all that you order

on this check sheet here.

(diners buzzing)

(man speaking in foreign language)

(diners buzzing)

It's just an awesome environment in here,

but it is kind of challenging because right now,

it seems like they're not bringing that many dishes out.

So as soon as they bring out a cart full of food,

you have to run up,

and you're not sure exactly what they'll have.

I managed to get rice, and this is in a lotus leaf.

And I don't think it's the sticky rice that I normally,

like glutinous rice that I normally really like for dim sum,

but this is maybe a different version.

Rice, looks like there's some ham in here

and some shrimp and egg.

Mmm.

That's just like fried rice

and then maybe re-steamed in the lotus leaf.

(diners buzzing)

- You want?

- [Mark] What?

- You want?

- [Ying] Get one, get one.

- I managed to get one of my lo mai gai.

These are not exactly the ones I really wanted,

but the demand is so high right now

that you cannot be too choosy.

You gotta just take what comes.

But luckily, ah, this is what I wanted in the first place.

I didn't really want that fried rice in the lotus leaf.

What I want is lo mai gai, which is glutinous rice

steamed in a lotus leaf,

and it's one of my absolute favorites.

(snickers) That glutinous rice.

The lotus leaf is so fragrant.

And in here should be maybe a mixture

of meat and also maybe some Chinese sausage.

Oh, that gooeyness.

Since I've been a kid,

I have always loved to eat dim sum,

and I always used to go to eat dim sum

with my parents and my relatives,

and this has always been

one of my absolute favorite things

maybe in the entire world.

And I'd really like some chili sauce,

but it is very challenging to get a hold of anyone

to try to get some chili sauce,

so I'm gonna take my first bite

and then I'll see if I can get some chili sauce.

Oh.

That sums up

comfort food to me completely.

The rice is so gooey,

and it's almost like saucy.

But what I love so much about it

is how that lotus leaf is like...

The flavor of that lotus leaf

is embedded into that rice,

giving it like a little bit of an earthy green taste.

This is some kind of feet.

And I'm pretty sure it's not chicken feet.

It's either like duck feet or goose feet

because you can see that entire web.

And these look like they are very soft and tender

and braised for a long time.

That's definitely a web.

It's very soft.

It almost has like a noodle texture to it

because it's so soft.

And then it has that very long slow braised flavor to it.

That web.

Oh, knuckles.

And then you do have to remove all those little

foot bones.

This is a huge wrap.

There's, I think, some...

I think it's a Napa cabbage,

and then there's some sausage in here.

There's a mushroom, there's something.

I'm not totally sure what's all in here,

but that is a huge cabbage wrap.

This is gonna be really hot.

And it's kinda falling apart.

Mmm.

It has a little bit of a ginger taste to it.

I think this piece is fish cake.

I managed to get some shrimp dumplings.

I think these are har gow fresh out of a steamer.

I need to go look for some chili sauce though.

Okay, that was only partially successful.

I kinda ran around the restaurant for the last 10 minutes

trying to find chili sauce,

and I got some kind of red sauce,

and then I also came away with some mustard.

Mustard I do love.

I'll go for one of the shrimp har gow.

And I'm gonna dip into the mustard.

Mm.

Mmmm.

Just filled with shrimp

and then just with a glutinous wrapper.

Now I'll try some of the chili sauce,

put some of this onto the rice.

Mmm, mmm.

Oh, that is a little bit spicy and sour.

Okay, I've got one final foot to go.

I think I like it better than chicken feet

because there is more skin

to this web than a chicken foot.

I would call that semi-successful with the dim sum.

And then once you're done,

you take your check card,

and these are all of the dishes that I ordered

that she marked down.

And then you go up to the front and pay.

This place just has so much character.

The thing is it can be a little bit challenging

to eat here because you have to really be

both patient and aggressive,

and sometimes you don't get to eat

the different dim sums that you were really hoping to eat

because, number one, they just don't come out

and you might have to sit there for a long time

and wait for it, or, number two,

you get to the cart and they're already gone.

They've just been pounced on.

But anyway, how can you not appreciate

that exciting atmosphere in there?

Today was one of those days that I didn't exactly get to eat

all of the dim sum that I wanted to eat, but that's okay.

You just cannot beat that classic atmosphere.

From here, I was thinking it would be a great idea

to go have some brisket noodles next.

(light music)

And they are very, very well known

for brisket noodles and brisket curry.

And they open at 12:30.

It's about 12:15 right now,

and there is a line of about

maybe like 100 people.

(snickers) I'm now trying to decide right now

if I should wait in line.

I guess we don't really have anything else to do.

(machine whirring)

(diners buzzing)

We made it inside and we came upstairs.

The wait to get in here did not take too long,

but luckily, they have a bottom floor and then a top floor,

and then they really pack you in here on round tables

and just sharing tables.

And then I just ordered one of the brisket noodles,

and then also, I got a tendon with curry and noodles.

(diners buzzing)

It is extremely tight quarters in here,

and we are all eating family style,

but I will do my best to vlog all about it.

We got two different dishes to share, Ying and I.

One of them is the brisket noodles,

which is one of their classic dishes,

and that's what they are very well known for.

But then I also got a curry with tendon,

and I think it came with some shredded brisket as well

and yeah, I'm about to dig in to both of them.

I'm gonna begin with the tendon and the curry,

and then there are rice noodles on the bottom here,

and also there's pieces of, I think this is brisket as well.

Oh, that looks fantastic.

Okay, I'll get a little bit of everything in this bite.

Mmm, yeah, you can smell a little bit of the curry powder

and like a little bit of a maybe cinnamon aroma to it.

Mmmm.

Okay, that is awesome, yeah.

Wow, that's good.

Okay, so it's just a little bit spicy.

You can taste that curry powder.

Maybe there is like a star anise in there as well.

There's also some kind of an herb taste to it as well.

Yeah, that is ridiculously good though.

That is awesome.

Let me try one of those pieces of tendon.

That is a pretty significant nugget of tendon.

Yeah, that is good tendon, and it has a,

a gelatinous texture of course,

but it's like it soaked up all of that curry flavor.

- [Ying] Oh my God.

- [Mark] Let me try to dig down now

into those noodles below there.

Mmm.

That has a really nice, like,

herb curry flavor to it as well.

The classic brisket noodles now.

I just gotta have a piece of that brisket first.

Oh wow.

That brisket is amazing.

It's tender, but it has like a little bit

of a stringy texture to it.

You can taste the beef in it,

and then it just tastes like here,

with the green onions and then...

And I think that broth is just a very kind of

plain soothing broth, but it's all about that brisket.

(slurps)

Let me grab that spoon

and I'll just taste that soup.

Mmm.

Okay, actually tasting the soup on its own,

it has a very, very rich flavor to it.

I think it's beef-based.

I'm not really sure, but it does have

like an umami component to it.

It's salty.

It's a little bit sweet.

And yeah, you can taste that meatiness.

I'm gonna try some of this chili sauce.

Mmm.

Oh, that chili sauce is good.

It's salty and a little bit spicy.

It goes great with that beef.

- [Woman] Okay?

- [Ying] Yeah.

- [Mark] Okay, thank you.

- [Woman] Buh-bye,

buh-bye, buh-bye. - Thank you.

- Exit is on the right side.

I'm glad we waited in line.

And the line didn't take too long.

So even if you see a line when you come here,

don't be intimidated.

It goes pretty fast because

they just cram people into the restaurant.

I think we were sitting at just a little round table.

It couldn't have been more round than my arm span.

And they put six of us on that table,

and then the entire place was just packed.

And then people mostly just go in there

to slurp down their bowl of noodles and then leave,

so the line goes fast.

I think I would go for the...

Actually, I liked both of them,

how they were so different,

but the curry noodles with that tendon,

that was the winner for me.

(light music)

Since we are in this area,

I thought we would stop by a temple next,

which is just down the road.

(light music)

This is the Man Mo Temple,

and it was built between the years of 1847 and 1862.

It is a Taoist temple, and it's just surrounded

by sky-rise buildings rising through the sky.

And I'm gonna go take a look inside real fast.

It's very peaceful and quiet in here.

And on the top ceiling there,

there are just coils of incense

that just continuously burn.

(light music)

It's not a huge temple,

but on that plaque board behind me,

it says that it's a monument because it demonstrates

traditional Chinese vernacular architecture,

and especially the ceramics and the murals

and the architecture of the temple.

Form here, Ying and I have decided

to go back to the metro,

and we're gonna head back to the hotel for a little while

and try to maybe rest.

We're starting to get sleepy.

Maybe it's that food or maybe it's the jet lag.

But we're going back to the hotel for a little while

and then going out again for dinner tonight.

(light music)

(fare machine beeps)

We made it back to Admiralty,

and all at once, I am feeling extremely groggy.

(light music)

I slept for two hours.

It was so hard to wake up.

But when I got up, the sun is shining.

It's pretty clear.

So Ying is back at the hotel, still resting,

but I'm gonna use this opportunity

to go to the top of Victoria Peak

for the view of Hong Kong.

(light music)

My happiness to go to the top was a little short-lived.

I have been met by a line

that literally stretches down the highway.

There must be thousands of people before me.

I'm not sure how long it's gonna take.

I would just walk to the top of the hill

because I like to hike,

but I wanna take the funicular, the Peak Tram

for the experience to ride up

because it's a real classic funicular.

So I'm gonna stand in line,

see how fast the line goes.

I guess I am not the only one

who waited out the rain this morning

and waited for sunshine this afternoon.

I have decided to ditch the tram.

That's gonna take hours to wait in line,

and I think I can make it up by walking

maybe in less than an hour,

so I'm on my way hiking.

Plus, I could use the exercise.

Hello.

- Hi.

(light music)

- It is incredibly humid in Hong Kong.

I'm starting to drip with sweat.

But I am very glad I made the decision to walk.

I'd much rather be hiking and getting a workout

than standing in line waiting for the tram.

(light music)

The sign back there said I have a 30-minute walk to the peak

but I'm not so sure I took the most direct route.

I was trying to follow the funicular at first,

but then it got all confusing in the lanes.

But anyway, I am on the right course now.

(light music)

I made it to the top of the peak.

I am just dripping, covered in sweat right now.

But I am very glad that I did not wait

for the tram, the funicular.

That took me exactly 35,

in between 35 and 40 minutes to get to the top.

I did make a wrong turn,

but then I really did kinda huffed and puffed it

all the way to the top

because I wanted to beat the light,

and there is still a little bit of light.

It's not quite as clear as it was when I started,

but the view is still pretty spectacular.

This is one of the most iconic views of Hong Kong

from Hong Kong Island on Victoria Peak,

and you can see all of downtown Hong Kong Island

as well as the other side, which is Kowloon.

(light music)

- Okay.

- Nice to meet you, Jeffrey.

- Yeah, nice.

- [Mark] And once you're up here at the peak,

you can walk around on the edge

and just enjoy the amazing astounding views of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong really has one of the greatest skylines

in the entire world.

(light music)

That was excellent.

It felt great to get some exercise

and fantastic views of Hong Kong.

And now time to head down before it gets dark.

(light music)

What's so amazing about Hong Kong

is that you can actually hike yourself out of a city.

(light music)

After the hike, I went back to the hotel, had a shower,

and now we are walking on our way to have dinner.

(diners buzzing)

Came to this restaurant, yeah,

and I wanna say thank you to Tim

for this restaurant recommendation.

This is a restaurant that serves

all sorts of different dishes.

I ordered three different dishes.

I went up front there and saw a fish.

I think it's a little red snapper possibly,

and it looks maybe steamed,

so I got one of those,

and then I also ordered a vegetable dish

as well as Hong Kong-style eggplant.

I'll begin with the fish,

maybe dip that into the sauce.

This looks like a fermented bean sauce.

Put that onto my rice,

or maybe I'll just take a bite out of it.

Mmm.

That sauce is very salty.

That needs to be eaten with rice.

(man speaking in foreign language)

(food steaming)

This is the next dish that I ordered.

It came in a flaming hot skillet.

And what type of vegetable is this, Ying, you know?

(speaking in foreign language)

- [Ying] Yeah.

- [Mark] It's either the vegetable,

I think it's the outer leaves of cabbage.

Yeah, I think that's what it is.

I'm not totally sure.

And then oh, you can really smell

like a fishy kind of aroma to it.

I think these are dry shrimp,

and there might be some salted fish in here too

and then minced pork.

Let me just taste a bit of this.

Mmm.

The vegetable is still crisp,

but you can taste that seared flavor to it.

And I think that is like dry,

dry fish or just dry shrimp,

but it definitely has a little bit of a fishy taste to it,

but that complements it.

It makes it salty, and that provides all the flavor.

Mmm.

(Ying snickers)

Whoa.

I didn't know I ordered that.

(Ying snickers)

I have to say in all honesty

that I thought this eggplant dish

was gonna be like a braised eggplant dish

in a pot as well, but it's actually slices of eggplant

which are then coated and battered and deep fried.

(snickers) And this is quite a beautiful plate,

and then all sorts of crispies on top.

There are, it looks like dried chilis

all mixed in and green onions.

I'll go for this guy and maybe black beans.

Oh wow, these are like eggplant...

Oh, it's very light.

I will dip into, I think this is just soy sauce maybe,

I'm not sure.

(food crunching)

It's really, really crispy on the outside

and then really creamy

and just fall apart tender on the inside.

And as I, like, sucked in,

I could taste those chili seeds.

They have like fumes, chili fumes coming off of them.

Mmm, it is a little bit spicy.

Those are deep friend eggplant fritters.

Mmm.

All of those green onions and those chilis

and maybe that's garlic on there too.

Definitely the winner of the meal is that vegetable dish.

It's flavored so nicely with those dried shrimp.

And on the bottom,

there are just big huge cloves of garlic

which have just been fried in the oil below there,

and they are barely identifiable as garlic

because they're so soft.

Oh yeah, it just melts in your mouth.

That was a great dinner

friendly staff and great ambiance.

It's a Hong Kong busy environment,

but it was kind of spacious for Hong Kong

at the same time, not too hectic,

good food, especially that vegetable dish,

that was the winner of the meal.

(speaking in foreign language)

Okay, the restaurant is called

(speaking in foreign language),

and they just have me their business card.

(light music)

We're in a taxi and heading back to the hotel.

I'm gonna end the vlog for today right now.

Where Love Is Illegal: Chronicling LGBT Stories of Love and Discrimination (Part 1) | Nat Geo Live - Duration: 17:38.

- I'm really grateful to be here,

and the reason I'm so grateful

is actually, you're really helping me out.

I made a promise to the people

whose photograph ... photographs

who you'll see tonight.

I promised them that their stories

would be heard,

and you're helping me to fulfill that promise.

And so, for that, I'm deeply grateful.

The last time that I was here in the US,

talking about Where Love is Illegal,

was soon after the shootings in Orlando.

And, that event was, you know ...

shocking, of course,

as it was to everyone here, I'm sure.

But, it wasn't until a couple of days later

that it really hit me.

I received a post on my Facebook page

from a friend of mine.

He sent me this clip of CNN's Anderson Cooper

reading out the names of the deceased.

Maybe some of you saw that.

He read their names, and they showed a photo

of each of those who were killed,

and they had a little story about them,

and what they meant to their families and friends.

It was really, really deeply moving.

And suddenly, those ...

The numbers became people,

and suddenly I felt a connection to them,

and the victims were made real.

The mission of this project,

Where Love is Illegal,

is about making connections.

It's about amplifying

lesbian, gay, transgender, queer, intersex, voices that have

been silenced by bigotry.

And by hearing their stories,

we get to make real their survival.

By understanding what they have survived,

we maybe get some insight and some understanding

of the true ugliness and impact

of homophobia and transphobia.

So tonight, I'm going to talk to you

a little bit about Where Love is Illegal,

the campaign,

I'll talk to you a bit about the making

of the photographs,

because I know there are some people

in this audience that are interested in that.

But what's just as, if not more important, to me

is that you meet some of the individuals

who are brave enough to be involved in this work.

This is Buje.

Now, Buje is covering his face

because he is afraid.

In fact, Buje isn't really his name.

He asked that we hide his identity

because who he is means that

he can be put to death.

I met Buje and four other young men

shortly they had been released from prison.

They had languished there for 40 days.

They were tortured in jail,

and they were lashed with a whip in court.

Fortunately, their case was dismissed,

but the community in which they lived

were not satisfied with the verdict.

They waited outside the courtroom,

armed with rocks intending to stone

Buje and the other young men to death.

Buje went back into the courtroom.

His place of torture,

now a sanctuary until the crowd dispersed.

But, his suffering didn't end there.

They went back to their families, who,

in turn, ostracized them.

Buje fell ill, and a relative came to him and said,

"God should take your life

because you've caused such shame to the family."

You know, their physical scars would heal,

but that rejection from their own flesh and blood

cut deepest.

So, what was the crime that Buje committed?

What could possibly have him tortured by the State,

nearly lynched by his community,

and abandoned by his family?

He's gay.

And, you know, one would think that

we would've moved past this barbaric notion,

that one should be killed

for who they are attracted to.

That to be LGBT is unnatural, immoral, or unholy.

And while, there are now,

thankfully 780 million people

living in countries where same-sex

relationships are legal,

there are 2.8 billion people

living in countries where consensual

same-sex acts are a crime.

So, prior to starting this work,

Where Love is Illegal,

like many people, I was a appalled

by homophobia and transphobia,

but like the Orlando shooting,

it wasn't until these abstract concepts,

the abstract concepts of homophobia and transphobia,

it wasn't until they became real that,

through meeting these people,

that I had any real understanding.

Of course, hearing their stories

cannot be compared in any way

to living their experience.

But in a small way,

when I heard what they've been through,

I felt it.

So, trying to get people to feel

is what I've been trying to do

with my work for the last 15 years

since I left my home country of New Zealand.

I've been trying to do that through

photography as a storyteller,

and as a human rights campaigner.

I've done many different kinds of work,

like sexual violence,

work about street children and famine,

and conflict,

and dictatorship,

and displacement,

and environmental degradation,

and illegal mining,

and drugs,

and prisons,

and disease,

and large body of work,

which I've been doing since 2011,

on mental health in African countries in crisis,

which I called 'Condemned.'

Now, prior to starting this work

during all that other work that I showed you before,

seeing this work here ...

You know, I was starting to question

my role as a documentarian.

I felt that I had made the beginnings

of strong, important, and work

that could have purpose.

In fact, it was one of the great

motivators for me when I

started out as a photographer,

I had this belief, like many young photographers

who go into photojournalism,

that my work could be important

and that my work could make a difference.

And I thought that maybe,

naïvely perhaps that my work,

by being published would make people sit up and take action.

And sometimes, my work did that.

But, mostly it did not,

and that made me deeply frustrated.

It was really important for me

that my work felt like it was meaningful.

So, when I started this work

on mental health in African countries in crisis,

I started it with a mindset that

my work could no longer be made solely

to raise awareness,

that it couldn't just be

to illustrate an article alone.

I was determined that it would make a difference,

and I started this work on mental health in South Sudan.

I went there to cover a referendum for independence,

and came away with a story about a country,

which was in a time of hope,

had massive challenges to deal with,

not least of all,

the psychological impact of 20 years of conflict,

and almost completely destroyed infrastructure,

and a country where there are next

to no medical professionals,

and no facilities where people

with mental health problems.

And I will move through this ...

And this environment,

the prison had become a place

to warehouse people with mental health problems.

And I move through this nightmare of a place,

understanding that I was seeing

a really devastating human rights issue.

That was really a crime against

society's most vulnerable and voiceless people.

And I moved through here thinking,

"If the world could see what I was seeing,

they wouldn't allow this."

I was thinking, "I could stop this with my camera."

I came across one young man by himself

at the end of a cell,

naked and shackled,

with this thick colonial-style chain around his ankle,

to the filthy floor.

And as soon as I saw him,

"I thought this is the picture,

this is the one that will get people's attention."

Now, most of the people in the prison,

as I moved around, were able to let me know,

one way or another,

if it was okay to take their photograph or not.

But, he couldn't.

He neither looked, nor spoke to me.

In my mind, I was thinking,

"Okay, I'm here to document

a grave human rights offense,

and that's the most important thing."

But I paused.

Here was a vulnerable young man,

whose dignity had been taken away from him,

his liberty had been taken away from him,

and I was concerned, was I abusing

his human rights further?

If this was me,

if this was my brother,

or if this was my son,

would I be okay with this image

appearing on the front page of a newspaper?

So, all of these things went through my mind

as I was crouching down over this filthy floor

with a camera raised to my eye.

And the conclusion that I came to,

because obviously I took the picture,

is that the only way that this image

was going to be okay,

is if it was made to really make a difference

in the lives of this man

and the lives of people like him.

Not raise awareness,

not illustrate an article,

but really make a difference.

So that day, in fact that moment,

was transformational for me.

I moved from being a ...

My intention changed

from a photographer hoping to change,

to make change happen,

to a photographer making change happen.

I needed to say right now,

because I know there are photographers here,

that, and lots of people in the photo industry,

that I think there is great value in photography

and storytelling,

just for the sake of making pictures,

and for the sake of telling stories,

and for recording history,

and for raising awareness.

Those are all really valuable things,

but for me,

it wasn't enough.

I came to this conclusion,

and that is,

that with witnessing comes responsibility,

and with privilege comes the moral obligation

to people less fortunate than ourselves.

I decided raising awareness,

raising awareness was not enough,

and I decided that I could no longer pretend

that making change happen was someone else's job.

So, I tell you this story about this journey,

because ...

to provide some context and hopefully

some understanding of my mindset when

I started to embark on this work

called, "Where Love is Illegal."

So, while I was doing all this work,

mostly in Africa,

I was becoming aware of a rise

in homophobia and transphobia.

And this oppressive, sometimes violent, reaction,

I think came from these conservative elements

of many African societies,

which I believe was born out of, in large part,

out of the rise in visibility of equality rights

here in the US and in Western Europe.

In this globalized world,

increased freedoms here can be seen as a threat

to those who would deny the freedoms

for people in their own countries.

And then, we ...

You have to combine that with the

fact that you would have

conservative Christian elements in this country,

who were, perhaps, felt like they were losing sway

and started to pivot towards other parts of the world,

and starting ...

had these Evangelicals sadly going to places like Uganda

and fanning the flames of bigotry.

Encouraged by these Evangelicals in Uganda,

bills like

the Kill the Gays Bill,

was brought into court and passed into law.

But we shouldn't think that

this form of bigotry was entirely imported,

there were local newspapers,

like Red Pepper,

who delighted in trawling Facebook accounts

and taking people's photographs,

and putting them on the front page to expose, in this case,

Uganda's 200 Top Homos.

Unsurprisingly, it's happened in many countries

with this kind of reporting and with these laws.

There's a sharp rise in homophobic attacks.

The same homophobic arguments that, you know,

many of us heard in a less-tolerant

era in this country, were ...

Came out.

Things like the supposed threats that gay men

have towards children.

It was particularly disturbing to see

young kids marched out in support

of homophobic laws as well.

But, later when aid was withdrawn from the country,

and just a couple of days before

President Museveni of Uganda was due to come

to this city to meet President Obama,

the law was taken off the books by a technicality.

So, while we have ... a lot of people will say that

international pressure doesn't work, clearly ...

And the Ugandan Government would deny this too,

but clearly it did in this case.

So while Uganda got all the international attention,

other African leaders also saw some kind of benefit

in attacking a community that was too

afraid to be able to stand up for their rights.

So, the Gambian Government was particularly

vile and vocal.

But, sadly, across the continent,

there was wide spread support for

these homophobic laws,

and it became a very difficult topic

for me with my African friends.

Sadly, people that I respected

and who's time I enjoyed being with,

almost entirely held these views

that to be LGBT was somehow un-African.

That it was imported by the west,

that it was a threat to the family.

Most of ...

Everyone here will probably think that

those sort of arguments are repulsive and ridiculous,

but it's actually not that big a step

to understand why they might believe these things.

After all, there was only one narrative,

and that narrative was that LGBT people

were unnatural, immoral, and unholy.

Of course, you know,

we have to also remember that it hasn't been

that long that we've had more accepting ...

We as countries, have had more accepting views

of LGBT rights.

In fact, when I was 12 years old,

my mother came to me and said that,

if I turned out to be gay that

I would always be welcome in the house,

but my "special friend" never would be.

30 years later, my mum's really proud

that I campaign for equality rights.

So, there's hope there, right?

There's ... But you know, you have to think,

what changed her mind?

She was exposed to other narratives

that countered their views, those views.

Views that said that LGBT people were not

necessarily a threat to her sons.

So, my mum gives me hope

societies and people can change.

But, these LGBT narratives are very rarely heard

on the African continent,

and the community, in large part,

is silenced and hidden.

But, this is not just an African issue.

Clearly, half of the world makes

consensual same-sex acts a crime.

And, you know, many politicians see homophobia

as a way to garner support from

the conservative elements in their societies.

This is the Malaysian Prime Minister,

branding LGBT a ...

People.

LGBT people as the enemies of Islam.

Of course, Syria is a particularly dangerous place

to be LGBT right now.

One of the Syrian men I met in Lebanon

told me that about ...

The Islamic State, when they take over a new town,

or a new region,

one of the first things they do

is hunt down gay men or transgender women

and capture means almost certain death.

Russia introduced homophobic laws.

They made LGBT propaganda a crime,

which makes campaigning for equality rights

quite dangerous.

And what followed?

Again, was a spike in attacks on LGBT people.

One group became popular on social media

for baiting young gay men with hookup apps,

and filming them as they beat and abused them.

So, in all these places,

what we have is LGBT voices which

struggle to be heard.

Hate thrives where the perpetrators of hate

control the narrative.

So I saw this single, dangerous narrative

strengthen and become wider,

and I wondered, as a storyteller,

"How could I contribute?"

The Secret to Never Forgetting New Vocabulary - How to Remember English Words - Duration: 8:35.

hi there I'm Drew Badger the world's

number one English Fluency Guide and in

this video I'm going to be talking about

phrasal verbs but also about maybe an

important lesson for you as you're

learning and remembering things no

matter really what you're practicing in

this video actually I wanted to talk

about tools in talking about some of the

phrasal verbs that we use with that they

were quite a few things i wanted to

cover but more than the actual tools

themselves this idea of how you remember

things is much more important so I'm

always trying to get you to think about

the deeper like the things at the bottom

if you can master these things like how

to learn how to practice how to review

things kinda find people to practice

speaking with if you can master these

things at the bottom this stuff at the

top becomes much easier to learn so if

you understand how to learn vocabulary

then you can learn a ton of vocabulary

really quickly so let's say this is a

screwdriver and a screwdriver is a is a

tool that drives screws it's pretty

pretty interesting pretty simple name

right so it's screwdriver take those

little screws that have the little line

on the outside and we screw something

into some wood for maybe some people

that don't know the difference a nail is

something that does not have the line

around the outside and you hit that with

a hammer so you have a nail sticking up

and you hit and you hit the nail into

the wood but with a screwdriver you're

actually taking a screw and screwing

something into the woods so screw into

to screw into and this is our first

phrasal verb to screw something into

something else now when you're talking

about taking a screw out of something

this is to unscrew something but I'm

turning the screw in making it go up

so screw up become something where we're

talking about removing a screw or making

something loops now this is the

important part about the video where

this is kind of a story here where I

want you to not be shy about creating

your own stories to help you remember

things so as an example many words maybe

they have a specific origin like I was

explaining in a previous video all the

tools that I have now all digital

so they don't have little buttons and

knobs and other things like that but old

radios if you look

it's something electronic or like an old

TV you would have a button on there or

you would have liked a dial typically

that turns the turns the television on

and this is where we get the phrasal

verb to turn something on

so again all of these things just like I

explained before in a previous video

where I was giving examples of the

telephone and why we talked about

hanging the telephone up or dialing the

telephone because even though we don't

physically push buttons on that anymore

we're still kind of using that same idea

so often the the history of these things

becomes really important but the

important thing here is that even if you

don't know what the physical origin of

something might be you can create your

own story about that to help you

remember it so screw up is a really

popular very common phrasal verb that

native speakers use when they're talking

about making a mistake i was trying to

ask that girl out and I like I couldn't

speak I was like that

good i got really nervous and I screwed

up the situation so I screwed up my

chance or I missed my chance i made a

mistake and I wasn't able to ask that

girl out so I wasn't able to get a date

or you can screw up something at work i

was making some projects and then I

spilled some ink all over them and I

screwed up the whole situation so I

screwed something up now when you listen

to something like this and again try to

try to first look at the verb ok we're

screwing something and then we're

screwing something up like what what

does that really mean

and again it's it's really for you to

create your own story to help you

connect this and really make that idea

in your mind so don't wait for a teacher

or a native speaker to explain something

just like myself if I'm learning

something in Japanese I will often make

it like a story in my mind to help me

remember something that even might not

be exactly what a Japanese person might

do but it still achieves the same result

and so the the getting the result which

is remembering what that thing is is the

most important part so it doesn't really

matter if you take a different direction

to that than somebody else if you can

remember the word and use it confidently

when you're speaking that's the whole

point that's the whole goal so don't

really worry about how you get there so

as an example maybe we have something

like screw

and I'm talking about screw up now how

do i like if I think about like the idea

of screwing something up is making a

mistake maybe I create a story in my

mind of I'm unscrewing something so I'm

screwing something up and i'm making

that thing loser

so if I've got maybe two pieces of metal

together and i am holding them together

with one screw if I screw that thing up

then they start you know moving apart

and then if i remove the screw

completely then they come apart it

becomes a problem maybe I'm making a

mistake

so in this way i'm creating a story

about where a phrasal verb might come

from

so even if there's no logical reason

maybe some maybe like many years ago

people in the past they just created ok

we're going to call this screwing

something up even though there's no real

logical reason to do that but you create

that logical connection in your mind and

that's what helps you're under your

understanding developed especially for

using phrasal verbs in this way so for

things like the television where you can

either see the history of it like we

spoke about in a previous video where

I'm turning the television on I'm

turning it on

even though now we push a button to turn

the television on maybe on a remote

control or something else for the same

thing with the volume there used to be a

dial on the telephone where you would

turn up you would turn up the volume

were turned down the volume so that's

why now people say hey could you turn it

down

could you turn it down or could you turn

it up there talking about raising the

volume or lowering the volume but we

don't say hey could you slide the volume

up we don't use that even though that's

maybe what we're using now and the

reason is because we already have this

idea in our mind and it's really

difficult to remove that idea once we're

creating even if we have that maybe some

other way of explaining that the most

important point of this lesson is to

think about creating your own story so

that way if you have a problem may be

remembering how something works or you

don't quite understand why a native

speaker would use something in a

particular way

the first thing you should do is try to

think about the physical origin of that

phrasal verb and the second one is if

you don't if you maybe can't think of

one or you ask a native speaker and they

can't give you a good you know reason or

story

make up your own you can connect your

own ideas with whatever the meaning of

that situation is and it's much more

important to connect the meaning of

things in English than it is to try to

take maybe something in your native

language and connect that with English

so do not translate take the time it's

really important and it will help you

use these things in conversations when

you're speaking without having to think

about it if you create these stories in

your mind in English so just try to make

even a simple connection so to screw

something up maybe loosening something

and it doesn't go well i'm making a

mistake somehow if you have enjoyed this

video to click that like button and be

sure to subscribe if you're not already

have trouble understanding other people

in maybe movies or regular conversations

much faster so really like this is

probably the most important piece of

information even more important than

this idea about stories but when you're

thinking about improving your English

it's not about learning more vocabulary

Who Will Lead The Western World In 2017? - Duration: 3:58.

After a year of dramatic referendums and political upsets, it is clear that 2017 will be a serious

change of pace for the Western world.

The five largest western economies, being the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany,

France, and Italy, have all seen big changes in their governments within the last year.

And only one member: Germany has any chance of keeping its current leader.

So, who exactly are the new Western leaders of 2017?

Well, first let's take a look at who is leaving their role as head of government.

In the United Kingdom, a referendum to separate from the European Union passed, causing Prime

Minister David Cameron to step down after supporting the effort to stay.

The United States has seen a dramatic shift of ideology from Democratic president Barack

Obama to Republican Donald Trump in the 2016 election.

In France, current President Francois Hollande (Fran-zwa - Holand) has said he will not seek

re-election in 2017, following his tenure as one of the most unpopular presidents in

French history.

And in Italy, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi tendered his resignation after a referendum

on consolidating power in government didn't pass.

Even German Chancellor Angela Merkel is seeing some of her lowest approval ratings in five

years, around 45 percent.

This sweeping change in the highest reaches of global politics reflects one, ongoing theme;

populism.

Many of the the newest leaders, or potential leaders are either further right than their

predecessors, or rapid departures from the past few years of rule.

The new UK Prime Minister, Theresa May, is of the Conservative Party, just like Cameron.

However she did not push as hard to stay in the EU, and is considered anti-immigration,

with her administration floating plans to force companies to create lists of foreign

workers in their employ, an idea which some are calling "racist".

In the United States, President-elect Donald Trump is supported by the growing alt-right,

which has been associated with white supremacy, and even fascist sentiments.

While French President Hollande, of the Socialist Party, has not yet left office, the primary

opposition frontrunner for the April 2017 election is center-right leaning François

Fillon, who has been described as "the right of the right".

Polling behind Fillon is Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Front, a nationalist, anti-immigration

party that has been called racist and antisemitic.

As for Italy, the new Prime Minister, Paolo Gentiloni is of the same Democratic Party

as the former PM.

The country will likely see a new election in or before 2018..

However, the failure of the referendum that ousted Renzi pointed to the growing popularity

of the Five Star Movement, a populist, anti-establishment, Eurosceptic party, which has said it is neither

left nor right wing.

Still, the party's presence and success is a strong deviation from traditional Italian

politics.

But there are still parts of the world where the opposite is happening.

Austria, for example, will see a new left leaning candidate as President, Alexander

Van der Bellen, after years of centrist rule.

His defeated opponent, Norbert Hofer, is considered a far right nationalist, and has said that

Islam has no place in Austria, and that the country would hold a referendum on independence

is Turkey was allowed into the EU.

Austrian voters rejected this narrative in what has been called "a heavy defeat of

nationalism and anti-European, backward-looking populism."

Still, for most major Western powers, 2016 saw the unprecedented, and by many accounts

unexpected rise of anti-establishment sentiments..

Although there are still more elections to be held in 2017, this changeover represents

a break in the status quo for much of the world.

Brexit, the election of Donald Trump, Italy's Five Star Movements and many other recent

political shake-ups are all a result of populist sentiments.

But what even is populism?

Find out in this video.

In Europe, it's generally more popular on the ideological right, which believes that

socialists or left-leaning policies negate the collective will of the people.

This was the idea behind the 2016 Brexit referendum.

Law of Attraction - A New Year Means New Goals (Psychology) - Duration: 9:29.

Live Today With Passion: Jack Canfield "Make a list of a hundred and one things

you want to achieve before you die now

we're sharing this with someone last

night he said God that just seems like a

really big task I'm a single mom I don't

have any time when I'm gonna do that we

know that one of the things about high

achievers they all have goals only ten

percent of americans set goals every

year ten percent i'm going to sales

conferences people that are the learning

stuff hear it over and over how many

10-percent we also know the same three

to ten percent controlled ninety percent

of the resources of the world so

literally without goals your

directionless you will be used to people

without goals get used by other people

who have them people that don't have

goals work for people who do and so you

want to be someone who picks up and gets

clear about what you want

make a list hundred ones i want to go to

Paris I want to you know skydive I want

to bungee cord jump I want to play the

guitar I want to learn to juggle I want

to learn to magic tricks for the kids I

want to go to the olympics in beijing

whatever it is make the list and you'll

see there's a lot of stuff under there

that you kind of put down that you want

and you can have anything you want

let's talk about your life's mission

your life's purpose what you're here to

do if you know what that is phenomenal

that's incredible and and

congratulations so few people will ever

find that but I also want to grab a

little bit if you think you know what it

is and also make it ok if you don't know

what it is

there's this big mitt that all of us

have to have this one narrowly defined

mission on the planet and I'm not sure

that that's so true and if you track it

back into the times of philosophy or

trackback in times of no more of the

modern era you start to see it really

started to emerge as a big conversation

really around that time when you know

people were supposed to be apprentices

in little villages that time they're

really animated in in the popular

culture was when he was all about the

Industrial Revolution figure out your

niche your skill the thing that you're

supposed to do and I don't see that as

relevant today

we have so many people who are doing

multiple passion projects that they're

deeply engaged with they find meaningful

they find fulfilling and they're

difficult to put on a business card as

one thing I actually believe that as

cultures continue to become more

developed as the worldwide global sort

of phenomenon happens of freelancers of

very flexible workplaces and work ideas

that will start seeing more and more

people getting away from this idea that

they have to be one thing you don't have

to be or do just one thing a lot of the

great leaders scientists thought leaders

of the past they did lots of things they

have lots of goofy passions Einstein

didn't just do one thing he actually had

an incredible diversity of interests so

did Leonardo DaVinci and so did

Michelangelo so does Bill Gates I mean

come on it's like very few people have

just this one thing they might become

known for one thing but as you see the

more wealth someone gets or more

influence they get the more they tend to

diverge out into multiple areas of

interest that draw their passion and his

hardness is fine

what's their one mission today with so

many opportunities i think it's not

about just one mission because you have

lots of missions that you go on in your

life but rather it's about finding

messages that are important to you know

things that you say I believe in that

message and i'm going to support in

every way I can and I believe in this

over here too i'm gonna support in every

way that I can't and I believe in this

project i'm going to support in every

way I can

those are it's important have a

diversity of interests and admissions in

life I believe but to those who say know

that you got to have this one thing I

bring it i feel so lost and confused i

got to have a thing what's my thing well

here's some ideas for you

first and foremost if you're looking for

one defined mission in your life make it

this to live the best quality of life

that you can

and what that means is it's going to be

not just focusing on one thing it's

going to look at your overall life what

i mean by that well when you think about

your life there's so many areas of your

life right you've got your health

you've got your relationships you've got

your intimate relationship if you have

one you've got your finances you've got

your spirituality and your practices

you've got your hobbies

you've got you know your ability to do

something to to have a job or career or

mission or purpose

you've got all these seven or eight

major areas of your life

I think that everyone's mission should

be how can i grow in each of those areas

and live each of those areas by my own

standards by my own ambitions

contributing what I really desire in

this area

how can i optimize my health how can i

optimize what I do during the day

how can optimize my relationships is

that idea that we can all grow and

develop a greater level of self-mastery

in all areas of our life and often tell

people if you start optimizing all the

different areas of your life the mission

begins to emerge because we'll have to

go through to improve each of those

areas of your life will start connecting

with new learning new ideas new mentors

new role models and in that process

you'll start to see more things because

you know it's hard to have a mission in

life if you've never seen anything so

when I always telling high schoolers are

college graduates like go out and seats

up see the world go explore a little bit

it's hard to say well here's our

supposed to do if you've never seen

anything so go try a bunch of different

things i would say also follow your

interests if you're deeply curious live

in your off hours you're paying

attention to photography or use find

yourself always so fascinated by this

one topic whether it's fashion or music

or the arts or whether it's geeking out

and coding on cool stuff it's like

whatever it is that you're just

passionately interested in that interest

might develop into a calling

that interest might be worth exploring

that my interest like go down the

wormhole

don't be scared of it like oh wow I'm

really i'm interested in this for some

reason i wonder if i can do an

internship on that i would if i could

get a job in that and really or do

something to earn some revenue doing

something like that like really get

passionate about your interests and as

you do that you'll start to find out

what's really right for you and

sometimes after doing something right

for you long enough and being rewarded

for it you say this is my thing

this is what I'm supposed to show that

last idea is that if you can free

yourself at this point in your life to

allow yourself to transition from one

thing to another

you're more likely to find the mission a

lot of people never find the mission if

that really exists because what ends up

happening is they get stopped and

blocked and stuck into doing one thing

and they're scared to transition those

who tend to find their real mission if

you talk to them they transition to a

lot of different things they had a lot

of different interests and they weren't

scared to bounce from one job to another

one career or company to another one

passionate pursuit to another another

they tried a lot of things they had a

lot of resilience and a lot of

self-reliance and trying new things and

bouncing back from those things that

didn't work and so if you just feel

totally stuck and I just have no idea

i'm supposed to do then what you're

supposed to do is change if you're at

that place where just like I'm so

confused about what I'm supposed to do

you need to shift you need to get into

your heart into your head and your

spirit and say what would be something

that would draw my passion right now

what can I be really interested in and

bounce go to that thing

try that thing really get into it

because if you're stuck you're never

going to find it

oh and and bonus idea for you if you

don't know what your mission is you

pursued all your passions gone down the

wormhole of your interest you've seen

the world and you still don't know what

you're supposed to be doing a simple

thing

ask how you can help sometimes we think

we're going to figure it out and in some

esoteric amazing moment of who I found

my calling or my passion like sunday

we're gonna walk out the door and the

piano purpose lands on you it might not

happen that way you might not actually

be able to figure out your mission or

your purpose until you serve until you

help people so on your personal journey

to try and figure out what you're

supposed to do

don't forget to stop and ask others how

can I help do you need anything

sometimes in those moments of service

and helping other people we get our

greatest levels of transformation and

Clary i hope that serves you and i hope

that you find a little piece of your own

mission in this world whether it's

multiple missions or it's one message or

multiple message or it's one grand

unifying thing that enlivens you

everyday

whatever it is once you feel like you

have taste of those once you know you

have some of those follow them put your

whole heart into it go at with full

excitement and engagement and you'll

start to have a week all the charge life

Soy Luna Season 2 Trailer with English Subtitles NEW - Duration: 3:08.

This will serve to remind you that behind the moon, the sun will still rise.

That you will always have a light. My sun on this medallion contains your story.

What do you have in your hands?

The papers you requested. All the former employees of your villa in Cancun.

I have no doubt that one of the former employees of my villa has adopted my niece.

I insist that we should question Luna Valente, Mrs. Benson.

How can you invent such madness? The daughter of our employees.

I had a strange dream.

Good but you always dream of strange things.

Yes, but this time it was different. We were all on the rink. It was like a Party on skates, and Matteo began to disappear and the room was beginning to fill up with smoke. And I saw less and less

Do you know what smoke means in dreams?

I was told that there will be a Party at the Jam&Roller, what is it?

I will not tell you because it's a surprise.

Very good. You have something that isn't easy to have, Charisma, angle and potential.

I want a Applause for the Roller Band.

I think something is missing in your song.

And what is it?

A female voice. What would you say, if we sang together at the Open?

You told me that you wanted to talk to me, I Approach you and you go away. What is wrong with you?

What is your plan with Matteo?

Use him to take my place back.

Hello Lunita.

Imagine a group of freestyle skaters with the desire to go as far as possible. Wouldn't that be awesome?

Adrenaline.

I'm pretty busy. See you later.

No wait. Just one second.

And my song, did you listen to it?

Yes, by the way, I love it. I learned it quickly. Look.

People love it to see you sing with us.

#Lunasings is already a trend.

We must Change all that now.

I saw that you took the photo of Lili.

Dad please, It isn't good to dig into the past.

To deny it either

You were great.

Thank you. It's great that you liked it.

Like? I love it.

Then will you incorporate or not?

Ramiro skating is just a hobby. My father would never support me.

I must also know the connection between the parties. Aunt and niece. And I Need the results as soon as possible.

You shouldn't be eating chocolate.

This is a quality control.

It seemed to me as if you had said no. What is your dream?

Have you already asked yourself this question, by chance?

How soft your hand is Amanda.

It's mine.

We know each other.

New Season. Soon

Tracking Next Rain & A Brief Warm Up - Duration: 3:11.

WE ARE STAYING ABOVE NORMAL FOR

THIS TIME OF YEAR.

SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO.

MOST OF US SITTING ABOVE

FREEZING.

37 DEGREES IN BOSTON.

WE ARE SEEING A FEW SPOTS CLOSE

TO FREEZING AS WE MOVE WEST OF

495.

THESE ARE LOCATIONS WE CAN SEE

SLICK SPOTS.

AREAS LIKE SPRINGFIELD, EVEN

WORCESTER WHERE IT IS CLOSE TO

THAT FREEZING POINT.

WE SAW SOME SNOW WEST OF 495 AS

WELL.

SLICK TRAVEL IS SOMETHING TO

WATCH FOR.

THESE TEMPERATURES, ALTHOUGH

THEY ARE COOL, THIS IS NOTHING

COMPARED TO THE TEENS AND 20'S

WE WERE SEEING YESTERDAY

MORNING.

OUR 24 HOUR TEMPERATURE CHANGE

SHOWING WE ARE 15 DEGREES WARMER

IN WORCESTER AND 10 DEGREES

WARMER IN BOSTON.

WE ARE DRY AT THIS POINT.

THE SHOWERS AND SNOW SHOWERS

HAVE PUSHED OFF THE COAST.

WE SEE SOME SIGNS OF FLURRIES TO

OUR WEST.

THIS WILL BE HARD TO PUSH IS.

WE HAD THAT

LAKE EFFECT SNOW IN

UPSTATE NEW YORK, IT WILL TRY TO

PUSH INTO UPSTATE MASSACHUSETTS

AND VERMONT, BUT AS IT CONTINUES

TO MOVE EAST, IT WILL LIKELY

FADE.

WE WILL STAY DRY AND SUNNY

TODAY.

HERE IS A LOOK AT THE WINDS.

THIS IS A FACTOR THROUGHOUT THE

AFTERNOON.

THEY WILL BECOME STRONG AT

POINTS.

WE ARE SEEING WHEN GUSTS UP TO

25 MILES PER HOUR.

SUSTAINED WINDS NEAR 70 MILES

PER HOUR IN THE AFTERNOON.

-- 17 MILES PER HOUR IN THE

AFTERNOON.

THESE TEMPERATURES IN THE 40'S

WILL FEEL LIKE 30'S FOR MOST

SPOTS.

THAT IS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

THE THERMOMETER WILL BE 42 IN

BOSTON.

MID 40'S DOWN TOWARDS THE CAPE.

WE HAVE DRY CONDITIONS.

SUNSHINE PREVAILS.

THAT IS THE CASE TOMORROW.

HIGH PRESSURE IS IN PLACE.

THANKS WILL TAKE A TURN MONDAY

NIGHT.

CLIENTS WILL SHIFT IN FROM THE

SOUTH AHEAD OF THE NEXT CHANCE

OF RAIN.

WE ARE TRACKING RAIN TUESDAY.

THIS IS MOVING IN.

ALTHOUGH IT BRINGS WARMER AIR

INTO THE REGION, WITH THE

INITIAL ONSET OF THE RAIN, WE

CAN SEE MIXED PRECIPITATION.

ESPECIALLY FREEZING RAIN IS A

CONCERN WHERE WE COULD SEE SLICK

TRAVEL EARLY TUESDAY MORNING.

LET'S LOOK AT THE TIMELINE OF

THAT RAINFALL.

IT IS INCHING TOWARDS THE AREA

LATE MONDAY NIGHT.

THAT IS WHEN WE CAN SEE SLICK

TRAVEL.

AS WE MOVE INTO LATE MONDAY

NIGHT, THOSE TEMPERATURES ARE

DROPPING INTO THE 30'S.

AS THAT RAIN CONTINUES TO

THREATEN THE AREA TUESDAY

MORNING AND AFTERNOON, HEAVIER

SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED.

WE CAN SEE UP TO AN INCH OF RAIN

FALL IN SPOTS.

HERE IS A LOOK AT THAT RAIN.

THERE IT IS ALONG THE COASTLINE

AND AN INCH AND A HALF MOVING

ALONG THE CAPE

.

THE STRANGE THING ABOUT

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON IS THAT OUR

TEMPERATURES WILL START TO FALL.

DON'T LET THE HIGH TEMPERATURE

ON WEDNESDAY FOR YOU.

How To Fix A Scratch On Your Car! - Duration: 4:53.

good morning

so today i am going on a little field

trip man i just love laying in bed

are you the kind of person that when you

wake up you just immediately like get

out of bed and start doing things or are

you the kind of person wakes up and just

starts to i don't know think a little

bit about what you want to do that day

grab your phone do some things on your

phone before you know it's like one and

a half hours later and you're still in

bed

well that's who I am like when I have

vacation or when i'm free i usually just

I just love staying in bed for as long

as i can because it's so comfortable but

eventually started to get out and go in

the shower so let's do that and we're

clean

awesome oh yeah and another reason why I

don't like december the days usually

look like this

yeah Bobby Bobby misty misty day I mean

talk about depressing right this is the

kind of weather we have in December like

half of the time so remember my first

lexus video that one back then and also

shows you that there is a few dents and

a few scratches on the car now I have a

topic about my car on the also weak form

of us also week on a week so I got into

contact with you people over there and

one of those guys actually offered me to

help me out with the scratching door i

have this where is it wait one second

this stuff

lexus touch-up pink with this paint and

polishing machine today we're going to

try and fix that little scratch it will

be a little bit of drive because this

guy lives in the North Island the middle

of the country and even though I was a

very small country is still about 150

kilometers so it's like one of your

mouth but hey driving alexis is no

punishment

so let's do it

i am here in the north of holland we are

going to polish the lexus today

yes we are caught and scratch was

somewhere here and when you can't really

see it not because it's sort of stripy

but as soon as the policy begins we

shall see if there will be a result i'm

really curious what about a all the

two-hour drive over here and now look

very peaceful and quiet here

I mean my new car

I just bought this BMW no i didn't

this is the car of mr. lucky i'm going

to call mr. lucky because that's name on

the form

mr. lucky you have a very nice car

okay see the clouds coming out of my

mouth it's pretty cold here this is a

BMW set for i think a comparable but the

hood is up right now and man this is

like your this is really a sporty car

feels like really low when you're in a

dash and everything it looks like

brand-new

yeah it looks pretty pretty much brand

new to me

no this is be after shock we did not get

rid of all of it because there where is

it only only this little piece

yeah that's pretty much the only little

piece so that there used to be a scratch

like all the way over here and all the

things left is this and look how smooth

it is you can see my reflection now LOL

look at that

alright so now we're going to go for a

little Drive that was it the scratch is

pretty much gone and after that i'm

going to go home so I'm going to

conclude the blog here and say thank you

Dim Sum and Curry Brisket Noodles — Amazing Hong Kong Food and Attractions! - Duration: 26:37.

- [Mark] I also got a curry with tendon.

Oh, that looks fantastic.

Okay, I'll get a little bit of everything in this bite.

(light music)

Good morning, everyone.

It's Mark Wiens with migrationology.com in Hong Kong.

Ying and I didn't have the best sleep last night.

We woke up at about 2:30 am and have been awake since,

but that's not because the bed isn't comfortable,

the bed is ridiculously comfortable, it's like a cloud,

but just due to the traveling and the jet lag.

But the good news is it is a fresh day in Hong Kong.

We're gonna go have breakfast right now.

Oh, that's the other thing.

We woke up hungry too,

so we've been waiting for breakfast.

And right now, it's 6 am.

(coffee machine whirring)

They have a real mix of food,

from all the different cured meats and salmons

to jamon, (snickers) more ham,

and then also some Chinese things as well.

This is ham like being back in Spain.

And then we got ham, some salmon.

I got some nuts, some Chinese food,

and this is what I need to try first,

is the shumai.

Mmm.

Oh, huge pieces of shrimp in there.

Then also some braised eggplant, I think.

Mmm.

That is really creamy.

This is Europe and China on a single plate.

And then we got some dill salmon.

I think I've had my share of salmon on this trip so far,

and I don't regret any bite of it.

This is a different type of salmon here.

This is so good though

I'm gonna have to go back for more of these.

Mmm.

It's packed with shrimp.

Breakfast was a wonderful success.

And I like how they also have coffee you can take to go,

so I wasn't gonna miss the opportunity.

Right after breakfast, I was thinking of going up

to Victoria Peak, at least that's what I was

thinking about doing this morning,

but it is rainy, it's cloudy.

There's zero visibility, so I guess

that's not gonna happen this morning.

(ticket machine beeps)

Sheung Wan.

(ticket machine beeps)

(fare machine beeps)

The weather has not let up.

It is still raining, so we are jumping on the subway.

We're heading up a couple stations

and on our way to go eat.

(light music)

It looks like it's just gonna drizzle all day long.

(light music)

(diners buzzing)

We made it to Lin Heung Tea House.

This is one of the classic dim sum restaurants in Hong Kong.

And what I love so much about this place

is you're just walking along the street in Hong Kong

and then you come up the flight of stairs.

No matter what time of day you come here

or no matter if it's raining or shining,

there could be, like, horrible weather outside,

and this place will still be packed.

So you just walk in here, you find empty tables,

you share tables with wherever you can find empty seats.

(exhales)

And for ordering here, they push the dim sum around on carts

and every now and then, they will bring out a fresh cart

full of steamed dim sum.

And you do have to kind of be aggressive.

So right now, I'm waiting for a fresh cart

of dim sum to arrive, and I'm gonna pounce upon it.

And then they mark down all that you order

on this check sheet here.

(diners buzzing)

(man speaking in foreign language)

(diners buzzing)

It's just an awesome environment in here,

but it is kind of challenging because right now,

it seems like they're not bringing that many dishes out.

So as soon as they bring out a cart full of food,

you have to run up,

and you're not sure exactly what they'll have.

I managed to get rice, and this is in a lotus leaf.

And I don't think it's the sticky rice that I normally,

like glutinous rice that I normally really like for dim sum,

but this is maybe a different version.

Rice, looks like there's some ham in here

and some shrimp and egg.

Mmm.

That's just like fried rice

and then maybe re-steamed in the lotus leaf.

(diners buzzing)

- You want?

- [Mark] What?

- You want?

- [Ying] Get one, get one.

- I managed to get one of my lo mai gai.

These are not exactly the ones I really wanted,

but the demand is so high right now

that you cannot be too choosy.

You gotta just take what comes.

But luckily, ah, this is what I wanted in the first place.

I didn't really want that fried rice in the lotus leaf.

What I want is lo mai gai, which is glutinous rice

steamed in a lotus leaf,

and it's one of my absolute favorites.

(snickers) That glutinous rice.

The lotus leaf is so fragrant.

And in here should be maybe a mixture

of meat and also maybe some Chinese sausage.

Oh, that gooeyness.

Since I've been a kid,

I have always loved to eat dim sum,

and I always used to go to eat dim sum

with my parents and my relatives,

and this has always been

one of my absolute favorite things

maybe in the entire world.

And I'd really like some chili sauce,

but it is very challenging to get a hold of anyone

to try to get some chili sauce,

so I'm gonna take my first bite

and then I'll see if I can get some chili sauce.

Oh.

That sums up

comfort food to me completely.

The rice is so gooey,

and it's almost like saucy.

But what I love so much about it

is how that lotus leaf is like...

The flavor of that lotus leaf

is embedded into that rice,

giving it like a little bit of an earthy green taste.

This is some kind of feet.

And I'm pretty sure it's not chicken feet.

It's either like duck feet or goose feet

because you can see that entire web.

And these look like they are very soft and tender

and braised for a long time.

That's definitely a web.

It's very soft.

It almost has like a noodle texture to it

because it's so soft.

And then it has that very long slow braised flavor to it.

That web.

Oh, knuckles.

And then you do have to remove all those little

foot bones.

This is a huge wrap.

There's, I think, some...

I think it's a Napa cabbage,

and then there's some sausage in here.

There's a mushroom, there's something.

I'm not totally sure what's all in here,

but that is a huge cabbage wrap.

This is gonna be really hot.

And it's kinda falling apart.

Mmm.

It has a little bit of a ginger taste to it.

I think this piece is fish cake.

I managed to get some shrimp dumplings.

I think these are har gow fresh out of a steamer.

I need to go look for some chili sauce though.

Okay, that was only partially successful.

I kinda ran around the restaurant for the last 10 minutes

trying to find chili sauce,

and I got some kind of red sauce,

and then I also came away with some mustard.

Mustard I do love.

I'll go for one of the shrimp har gow.

And I'm gonna dip into the mustard.

Mm.

Mmmm.

Just filled with shrimp

and then just with a glutinous wrapper.

Now I'll try some of the chili sauce,

put some of this onto the rice.

Mmm, mmm.

Oh, that is a little bit spicy and sour.

Okay, I've got one final foot to go.

I think I like it better than chicken feet

because there is more skin

to this web than a chicken foot.

I would call that semi-successful with the dim sum.

And then once you're done,

you take your check card,

and these are all of the dishes that I ordered

that she marked down.

And then you go up to the front and pay.

This place just has so much character.

The thing is it can be a little bit challenging

to eat here because you have to really be

both patient and aggressive,

and sometimes you don't get to eat

the different dim sums that you were really hoping to eat

because, number one, they just don't come out

and you might have to sit there for a long time

and wait for it, or, number two,

you get to the cart and they're already gone.

They've just been pounced on.

But anyway, how can you not appreciate

that exciting atmosphere in there?

Today was one of those days that I didn't exactly get to eat

all of the dim sum that I wanted to eat, but that's okay.

You just cannot beat that classic atmosphere.

From here, I was thinking it would be a great idea

to go have some brisket noodles next.

(light music)

And they are very, very well known

for brisket noodles and brisket curry.

And they open at 12:30.

It's about 12:15 right now,

and there is a line of about

maybe like 100 people.

(snickers) I'm now trying to decide right now

if I should wait in line.

I guess we don't really have anything else to do.

(machine whirring)

(diners buzzing)

We made it inside and we came upstairs.

The wait to get in here did not take too long,

but luckily, they have a bottom floor and then a top floor,

and then they really pack you in here on round tables

and just sharing tables.

And then I just ordered one of the brisket noodles,

and then also, I got a tendon with curry and noodles.

(diners buzzing)

It is extremely tight quarters in here,

and we are all eating family style,

but I will do my best to vlog all about it.

We got two different dishes to share, Ying and I.

One of them is the brisket noodles,

which is one of their classic dishes,

and that's what they are very well known for.

But then I also got a curry with tendon,

and I think it came with some shredded brisket as well

and yeah, I'm about to dig in to both of them.

I'm gonna begin with the tendon and the curry,

and then there are rice noodles on the bottom here,

and also there's pieces of, I think this is brisket as well.

Oh, that looks fantastic.

Okay, I'll get a little bit of everything in this bite.

Mmm, yeah, you can smell a little bit of the curry powder

and like a little bit of a maybe cinnamon aroma to it.

Mmmm.

Okay, that is awesome, yeah.

Wow, that's good.

Okay, so it's just a little bit spicy.

You can taste that curry powder.

Maybe there is like a star anise in there as well.

There's also some kind of an herb taste to it as well.

Yeah, that is ridiculously good though.

That is awesome.

Let me try one of those pieces of tendon.

That is a pretty significant nugget of tendon.

Yeah, that is good tendon, and it has a,

a gelatinous texture of course,

but it's like it soaked up all of that curry flavor.

- [Ying] Oh my God.

- [Mark] Let me try to dig down now

into those noodles below there.

Mmm.

That has a really nice, like,

herb curry flavor to it as well.

The classic brisket noodles now.

I just gotta have a piece of that brisket first.

Oh wow.

That brisket is amazing.

It's tender, but it has like a little bit

of a stringy texture to it.

You can taste the beef in it,

and then it just tastes like here,

with the green onions and then...

And I think that broth is just a very kind of

plain soothing broth, but it's all about that brisket.

(slurps)

Let me grab that spoon

and I'll just taste that soup.

Mmm.

Okay, actually tasting the soup on its own,

it has a very, very rich flavor to it.

I think it's beef-based.

I'm not really sure, but it does have

like an umami component to it.

It's salty.

It's a little bit sweet.

And yeah, you can taste that meatiness.

I'm gonna try some of this chili sauce.

Mmm.

Oh, that chili sauce is good.

It's salty and a little bit spicy.

It goes great with that beef.

- [Woman] Okay?

- [Ying] Yeah.

- [Mark] Okay, thank you.

- [Woman] Buh-bye,

buh-bye, buh-bye. - Thank you.

- Exit is on the right side.

I'm glad we waited in line.

And the line didn't take too long.

So even if you see a line when you come here,

don't be intimidated.

It goes pretty fast because

they just cram people into the restaurant.

I think we were sitting at just a little round table.

It couldn't have been more round than my arm span.

And they put six of us on that table,

and then the entire place was just packed.

And then people mostly just go in there

to slurp down their bowl of noodles and then leave,

so the line goes fast.

I think I would go for the...

Actually, I liked both of them,

how they were so different,

but the curry noodles with that tendon,

that was the winner for me.

(light music)

Since we are in this area,

I thought we would stop by a temple next,

which is just down the road.

(light music)

This is the Man Mo Temple,

and it was built between the years of 1847 and 1862.

It is a Taoist temple, and it's just surrounded

by sky-rise buildings rising through the sky.

And I'm gonna go take a look inside real fast.

It's very peaceful and quiet in here.

And on the top ceiling there,

there are just coils of incense

that just continuously burn.

(light music)

It's not a huge temple,

but on that plaque board behind me,

it says that it's a monument because it demonstrates

traditional Chinese vernacular architecture,

and especially the ceramics and the murals

and the architecture of the temple.

Form here, Ying and I have decided

to go back to the metro,

and we're gonna head back to the hotel for a little while

and try to maybe rest.

We're starting to get sleepy.

Maybe it's that food or maybe it's the jet lag.

But we're going back to the hotel for a little while

and then going out again for dinner tonight.

(light music)

(fare machine beeps)

We made it back to Admiralty,

and all at once, I am feeling extremely groggy.

(light music)

I slept for two hours.

It was so hard to wake up.

But when I got up, the sun is shining.

It's pretty clear.

So Ying is back at the hotel, still resting,

but I'm gonna use this opportunity

to go to the top of Victoria Peak

for the view of Hong Kong.

(light music)

My happiness to go to the top was a little short-lived.

I have been met by a line

that literally stretches down the highway.

There must be thousands of people before me.

I'm not sure how long it's gonna take.

I would just walk to the top of the hill

because I like to hike,

but I wanna take the funicular, the Peak Tram

for the experience to ride up

because it's a real classic funicular.

So I'm gonna stand in line,

see how fast the line goes.

I guess I am not the only one

who waited out the rain this morning

and waited for sunshine this afternoon.

I have decided to ditch the tram.

That's gonna take hours to wait in line,

and I think I can make it up by walking

maybe in less than an hour,

so I'm on my way hiking.

Plus, I could use the exercise.

Hello.

- Hi.

(light music)

- It is incredibly humid in Hong Kong.

I'm starting to drip with sweat.

But I am very glad I made the decision to walk.

I'd much rather be hiking and getting a workout

than standing in line waiting for the tram.

(light music)

The sign back there said I have a 30-minute walk to the peak

but I'm not so sure I took the most direct route.

I was trying to follow the funicular at first,

but then it got all confusing in the lanes.

But anyway, I am on the right course now.

(light music)

I made it to the top of the peak.

I am just dripping, covered in sweat right now.

But I am very glad that I did not wait

for the tram, the funicular.

That took me exactly 35,

in between 35 and 40 minutes to get to the top.

I did make a wrong turn,

but then I really did kinda huffed and puffed it

all the way to the top

because I wanted to beat the light,

and there is still a little bit of light.

It's not quite as clear as it was when I started,

but the view is still pretty spectacular.

This is one of the most iconic views of Hong Kong

from Hong Kong Island on Victoria Peak,

and you can see all of downtown Hong Kong Island

as well as the other side, which is Kowloon.

(light music)

- Okay.

- Nice to meet you, Jeffrey.

- Yeah, nice.

- [Mark] And once you're up here at the peak,

you can walk around on the edge

and just enjoy the amazing astounding views of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong really has one of the greatest skylines

in the entire world.

(light music)

That was excellent.

It felt great to get some exercise

and fantastic views of Hong Kong.

And now time to head down before it gets dark.

(light music)

What's so amazing about Hong Kong

is that you can actually hike yourself out of a city.

(light music)

After the hike, I went back to the hotel, had a shower,

and now we are walking on our way to have dinner.

(diners buzzing)

Came to this restaurant, yeah,

and I wanna say thank you to Tim

for this restaurant recommendation.

This is a restaurant that serves

all sorts of different dishes.

I ordered three different dishes.

I went up front there and saw a fish.

I think it's a little red snapper possibly,

and it looks maybe steamed,

so I got one of those,

and then I also ordered a vegetable dish

as well as Hong Kong-style eggplant.

I'll begin with the fish,

maybe dip that into the sauce.

This looks like a fermented bean sauce.

Put that onto my rice,

or maybe I'll just take a bite out of it.

Mmm.

That sauce is very salty.

That needs to be eaten with rice.

(man speaking in foreign language)

(food steaming)

This is the next dish that I ordered.

It came in a flaming hot skillet.

And what type of vegetable is this, Ying, you know?

(speaking in foreign language)

- [Ying] Yeah.

- [Mark] It's either the vegetable,

I think it's the outer leaves of cabbage.

Yeah, I think that's what it is.

I'm not totally sure.

And then oh, you can really smell

like a fishy kind of aroma to it.

I think these are dry shrimp,

and there might be some salted fish in here too

and then minced pork.

Let me just taste a bit of this.

Mmm.

The vegetable is still crisp,

but you can taste that seared flavor to it.

And I think that is like dry,

dry fish or just dry shrimp,

but it definitely has a little bit of a fishy taste to it,

but that complements it.

It makes it salty, and that provides all the flavor.

Mmm.

(Ying snickers)

Whoa.

I didn't know I ordered that.

(Ying snickers)

I have to say in all honesty

that I thought this eggplant dish

was gonna be like a braised eggplant dish

in a pot as well, but it's actually slices of eggplant

which are then coated and battered and deep fried.

(snickers) And this is quite a beautiful plate,

and then all sorts of crispies on top.

There are, it looks like dried chilis

all mixed in and green onions.

I'll go for this guy and maybe black beans.

Oh wow, these are like eggplant...

Oh, it's very light.

I will dip into, I think this is just soy sauce maybe,

I'm not sure.

(food crunching)

It's really, really crispy on the outside

and then really creamy

and just fall apart tender on the inside.

And as I, like, sucked in,

I could taste those chili seeds.

They have like fumes, chili fumes coming off of them.

Mmm, it is a little bit spicy.

Those are deep friend eggplant fritters.

Mmm.

All of those green onions and those chilis

and maybe that's garlic on there too.

Definitely the winner of the meal is that vegetable dish.

It's flavored so nicely with those dried shrimp.

And on the bottom,

there are just big huge cloves of garlic

which have just been fried in the oil below there,

and they are barely identifiable as garlic

because they're so soft.

Oh yeah, it just melts in your mouth.

That was a great dinner

friendly staff and great ambiance.

It's a Hong Kong busy environment,

but it was kind of spacious for Hong Kong

at the same time, not too hectic,

good food, especially that vegetable dish,

that was the winner of the meal.

(speaking in foreign language)

Okay, the restaurant is called

(speaking in foreign language),

and they just have me their business card.

(light music)

We're in a taxi and heading back to the hotel.

I'm gonna end the vlog for today right now.
