Description

A film by composer Havelock Nelson, that starts with a quirky title sequence.

The sound is low quality.

His travels begin with the bright lights of Hong Kong, and the traditional boats that were still in use.  Hong Kong was a colony of Britain until 1997.

On the Peninsula of Macau he sees traditional modes of fishing and Portuguese inspired architecture. 

He visits Japan, and sees Temples and the Dragon's Tail Waterfall.
