A close up of the intricate carvings on the walls in the Angkor Wat temple. Almost every wall surface was covered with something, which was quite impressive in and of itself!

Every other Wednesday night at the Hong Kong Jockey Club in Happy Valley is beer night (though not during summer since it's too hot). It's definitely a winning combination.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club is one of the oldest institutions in Hong Kong, founded in 1884 to promote horse racing.

The HKJC conducts nearly 700 horse races per year at its two race tracks at Sha Tin and Happy Valley.

It is a non-profit organisation providing horse racing, sporting and betting entertainment in Hong Kong... The organization is the largest taxpayer in Hong Kong, as well as the largest private donor of charity funds, contributing an average of over HK$1 billion (approximately US$130 million) annually over the past ten years.
