    It is not a march. It is a individual 'picnic for one'.

    June 12th Picnic Invitation lol

    According to the Chinese calendar, 12th June (Wed) will be a great day. It will be wonderful to have a picnic enjoying the fresh air! And among the picnic sites, Tamar Park is one of the best choices where you can see the Victoria Harbour just beside the Central Government Offices which were designed by a famous architect. However, you are always welcome to go outdoor and enjoy the fresh air. The government also encourages us to workout 30 mins evevery day for a happier life.

    As stated by Section 18 - Unlawful assembly under Cap. 245 Public Order Ordinance , "When 3 or more persons, assembled together, conduct themselves in a disorderly, intimidating, insulting or provocative manner intended or likely to cause any person reasonably to fear that the persons so assembled will commit a breach of the peace, or will by such conduct provoke other persons to commit a breach of the peace, they are an unlawful assembly."

    So you can go alone but you are also free to meet new friends there and discuss whatever you want while sharing your food. Please remember to bring a lot of water, sunscreen, snacks, mosquito repellent and a mat. If the weather forecast says rain is possible, please remember to bring an umbrella with you. You can go outdoor anytime anywhere whenever you want. You can draw, sit, meditate, or even play Pokemon Go.

    UPDATE

    Legco protest zone closed

    Legislative Council officials said on Tuesday that there is "high risk" that the complex will be stormed by protesters during upcoming meetings on the government's extradition law bill, and various security measures are being implemented to counter this threat.

    A note to lawmakers from the Legco Secretariat says the council's designated protest area has been temporarily closed to the public, with police officers patrolling the area.

    The note says the move is required because of damage sustained during violent clashes on Sunday night following the million-strong march against the new legislation, and because Legco staff are not equipped to deal with any similar trouble.

    And Jesus says...


    The Catholic Diocese of Hong Kong, which counts Chief Executive Carrie Lam as one of its members, on Tuesday called on the government not to rush through the controversial extradition bill.

    A statement published on the diocese's website said the government should not pass the bill "hurriedly before adequately addressing the queries and worries of the legal sector and of the general public".
    Lam is a devout Catholic and said she was answering God's call when she decided to run for the city's top job in 2017.
