April HK meeting

It was truly a pleasure to meet Ciril on the afternoon of April 11th at HK Park. We had a wonderful conversation about a range of topics, including the HK tram rolling stock, other forms of transportation, and his past trip to HK in the 1970s.
Ciril is the father of Walter, First Counsellor & Head of Trade Section at the European Union Office in Hong Kong and Macao.
I was thrilled to be able to give him a copy of my book, ‘Hong Kong Trams – The City’s Heritage,’ and a magazine that would be helpful for him in drafting another transport article about HK. I am looking forward to reading it.
