The Kowloon Flying Monkeys

Today my husband and I went walking around Kowloon Reservoir, where there are wild Macaque who are not supposed to be fed (cuz they are wild and all) but generally hang around grooming or follow people hoping to be fed. Occasionally they make faces at your or even try to chase you, but today we saw a load of younger ones playing in a tree and pushing each other into the water - needless to say it was hilarious!



This one is a macaque making faces on a bridge over the high way near Kowloon Reservoir.  As you can see behind him there is an idiot in a car holding the whole lane up so that his wife can take pictures of the "cute" little monkeys - crazy lady!

We also got a really great picture today of them jumping - but actually it looks more like the monkey is being expelled from the water - either way I find it entertaining:

Before we started this walk where we found the entertaining monkeys we were waiting at a bus stop to get to the reservoir - along with two post men.  Now this may just be me but I find it hilarious that (apparently) the post men in Hong Kong use the bus - I wonder if its any faster....probably not.

Lastly in case you wanted more - there is another video on you tube of the monkeys which is slightly different but I personally find no less entertaining: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBj0xXWourU

Hope your Saturday was as ridiculous as mine!
