Hong Kong Transport - Trucks
The Hong Kong Truck Culture
The number of Trucks, Vans* and Special Purpose Vehicles (Light, Medium & Heavy) registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 120,000 - 125,000 vehicles and presumably new trucks registered are offset by old trucks being retired or sold over the border in China.
*Vans are classified as Light Goods Vehicles and are not shown in this album
In Hong Kong Trucks are classified as GOODS VEHICLES By the Transport Department - see below
☛Light Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight not exceeding 5.5 tonnes.
☛Medium Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 5.5 tonnes but not exceeding 24 tonnes.
☛Heavy Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 24 tonnes but not exceeding 38 tonnes.
The major truck types you tend to see in urban areas are trucks carrying construction materials or waste, dump trucks, concrete mixers and all sizes of delivery trucks... outside of the urban areas it is container trucks and large trucks carrying construction materials.
The following brands of Trucks can be seen on the streets of Hong Kong and include:-
Beiben ✚ Bell ✚ CAMC ✚ CNHTC ✚ DAF ✚ Dennis ✚ Dong Feng ✚ FAW ✚ Fuso ✚ Foton ✚ Ford ✚ Hino ✚ Howo ✚ Hyundai ✚ Isuzu ✚ Iveco ✚ JAC ✚ Kato ✚ KIA ✚ Liebherr ✚ MAN ✚ Mercedes Benz ✚ Mitsubishi ✚ Nissan ✚ Renault ✚ Scania ✚ Shacman ✚ Sinotruk ✚ Suzuki ✚ Toyota ✚ UD ✚ Volvo ✚ Zoomlion
Hong Kong is a brand conscious place even for trucks (!) hence the popularity of the European brands, Scania and Man are very popular and even the older trucks look the business and they are utterly reliable.
Isuzu is the market leader in terms of sale volume for all types of trucks.

An image that was taken for my Final major project for BTEC ND Photography in year 2,. The Project was based on Youth Culture (mainly the behaviour of youth's) which I dubbed the project "Adolescence Behaviour".
J’ai voulu créer ce montage pour promouvoir les voyages dans le monde entier et inciter les gens à se forger leur propre opinion. En effet, beaucoup de personnes ont des idées préconçues des pays ou des continents alors qu’ils ne les ont jamais visités. On associe souvent des objets, animaux ou de la nourriture à des pays alors que la culture ne se résume pas à un seul point. J’ai décidé de mettre des images qui me faisaient penser à la première chose qui se rapportait au pays, selon moi. Par exemple, qui dit Russie dit matriochka, qui dit Chine dit Maneki-Neko (chat porte-bonheur), etc... J’ai également prit deux figures mondialement connues, Barack Obama et la Reine Elizabeth II, qui symbolisent la culture et le monde, et qui ont une forte influence.
J’ai été inspirée par un article qui parlait des clichés et cela m’a donné l’idée de les représenter sur une mappemonde. Ce montage pourrait être relayé sur les réseaux sociaux par exemple pour faire passer un message culturel, ou pourrait se trouver sur un site de voyage par exemple.
Pour se faire, j’ai utilisé le logiciel iPiccy pour faire mon montage. J’ai tout d’abord prit une image de mappemonde sur Google image pour servir d’arrière-plan. J’ai rogné les tours de l’image et j’ai réglé la saturation puis je suis passé en mode designer. Afin d’insérer les différentes images PNG (au fond transparent), j’ai ajouté les différentes photos téléchargées au préalable. A chaque insertion d’images, j’ai redimensionné à la taille souhaitée car elles étaient trop grandes. Ensuite, j’ai inséré les images de la Reine Elizabeth II et de Barack Obama (sans oublier de lui ajouter une couronne) puis j’ai utilisé les stickers pour ajouter des bulles de discussion. Etant donné qu’elles étaient tournée dans le mauvais sens, je me suis servie de l’outil pour retourner a l’horizontal la bulle. Comme la bulle était remplie de blanc, j’ai choisi d’estomper la couleur pour que cela reste doux. Ensuite j’ai ajouté du texte dans les bulles en les mettant au premier blanc pour qu’ils puissent être visibles et apparaitre sur la bulle. J’ai réglé la taille et le type de police.
J’ai choisi l’outil iPiccy parce que je trouve qu’il est simple d’utilisation. Une fois que les manipulations sont comprises, on maîtrise le logiciel. En plus, il est facile d’accès car on a juste à s’inscrire et notre travail peut-être sauvegardé sur le site. Le point négatif serait qu’il est en anglais mais les fonctions sont relativement simples à comprendre. Je n’ai pas choisi d’autre outil parce que j’ai déjà eu l’occasion d’utiliser celui-ci donc je maîtrisais à l’avance.

From 8-10 May, 2015, Waag Society and The Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision hosted the first of six Europeana Space hackathons. This was the main objective: come up with appealing ideas and applications to bring the rich archive of digitized European cultural heritage to the public.
The Europeana Space Project seeks prove that digitized cultural heritage material can be used in creative ways, and new business and sustainability models can be developed around these innovations.

A very popular event held in Queens Park Toowoomba each August. An aboriginal story and dance troupe from Oakey pictured here. I thought the didgeridoo player was pretty good, and I listen to a few.
