Transportation
To most people, transportation is simply what they do everyday. However to enthusiasts, we treat it as an important part of local culture and history. We believe such ignored daily stuff should have more attention, as it is part of our life but people simply ignore it.
Airplanes are interesting. You know it but you are not aware of it, for example, most of you are fascinated by the Eva Air Kitty Jet or ANA Star Wars livery, or even the farewell flight of Cathay 747. We are the group of people who record these memorable moments - that's plane spotting.
​
Spotting is a healthy hobby and you can indeed learn from it, for instance, you study the structure of aircraft, and also learn about different countries and cultures when you spot the airplanes. Of course, with courtesy and willingness to learn, you could master good photography skills.
Recently, I also start spotting trains as IT IS something we all are familiar with. I have spotted trains in Japan and I love that cuz they are my childhood memories from the console game "電車go!". Nevertheless I feel bored when I do so in HK... Anyway I will still do it.
Sometimes I also go ship spotting as I quite like high speed ferries - Boeing 929 Jetfoil the most.
Their motion is unique and I quite enjoy seeing them. I feel grateful that TurboJet has the largest Boeing 929 fleet in the world :).
