Excerpt from taipingkoon.com.hk/index.php/en/about/milestone:
Tai Ping Koon Restaurant (TPK) was founded in 1860 (Qing Dynasty-10th year of Xianfeng) by Mr. Chui Lo Ko who originally worked as a Chef for a western trading company in Guangzhou and his specialties were western dishes. He left the company and became a hawker. Created a fusion of Chinese and Western dishes, which were appreciated by his customer. In 1860, Mr. Chui started up his own restaurant in Tai Ping Sha of Guangzhou and he named it according to the venue. It was the first restaurant in Guangzhou specializing in western cuisine.
The most special dishes such as roasted pigeon, smoked pomfret, Baked Coconut Chicken in Portuguese Style were created by Mr. Chui and renowned in Southern Guangdong. The Marinade invented by the successors became an incomparable classical dish as well. The historic customers include Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Zhou Enlai, Chiang Kai-shek. In 1938, successors of Mr. Chui started up the first TPK in Hong Kong and became the first ancestor of Hong Kong Style Western Restaurant. TPK obtained an important status in the culture of Hong Kong Diet. Nowadays, Hong Kong Tai Ping Koon restaurant is still run by the Chui family. (No branch in Mainland China)

Arriva pulled out of Guildford at the weekend, the only surprise to me is that it wasn't sooner. I spent a few months of 1999/2000 working out of Cranleigh depot where for a while the allocation included these lovely Dennis Lance East Lancs buses. LS22 (N322 TPK) was seen at the Ewhurst terminus of service 53 on 3rd December, 1999.

Like so many Caribbean islands St. Vincent is a very colorful place!
We made it back to St Vincent with little time to spare so the only shot I got of the place was from the balcony and this is it.
As I said before St. Vincent is a great place for scuba and snorkeling, not such a great place for gawking tourists so I'm pretty sure we didn't miss anything!
BTW, I happened to do a YouTube search and found 4 different songs with the title "After The Rain". Didn't know it was such a popular phrase!

PS:
For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. For some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!
