My first stop was Bentota, where the railway runs right along the beach and the world feels wonderfully still. I found a quiet moment on the empty tracks, surrounded by palm trees and warm tropical air, and it felt like the perfect beginning to a new adventure. Sound on for the video! 🔊

Something from the trolley dear? 🐾 For my last plu Something from the trolley dear?
🐾
For my last plushie meetup in Hong Kong I joined @alpacarjandfriends at one of the city’s few remaining steam-trolley restaurants and it felt a bit like dim sum theatre. The trolleys rattled past with bamboo baskets full of surprises, and I inspected each one very seriously before deciding what to devour.
🐾
The best part? She brought along her two vintage Paddingtons to meet me. We compared hats, swapped stories and agreed that steamed buns taste better when shared with friends. A perfect Hong Kong farewell.

A day in Kowloon always feels like stepping into a A day in Kowloon always feels like stepping into a film set
🐾
I crossed the harbour on the Star Ferry with the breeze in my fur and the Hong Kong skyline sparkling on both sides, then wandered along the Avenue of the Stars to say hello to some familiar silhouettes
🐾
By nighttime the skyscrapers lit up like a giant glittering stage and I couldn’t help but stop every few steps for another photo

When planning an antiques heist in a Shanghainese When planning an antiques heist in a Shanghainese restaurant, it’s important to start with a full tummy
🐾
@it.bearbear2 and Paddington had slipped past “security” (our assistants smuggled us in expertly) and were moments away from nabbing the antique vases when disaster struck, plates of drunken prawns, hairy crab dim sum and bowls of spicy noodles arrived
🐾
Naturally we abandoned the mission immediately and tucked into a plushie-sized feast. Zero regrets!
🐾 
Afterwards we journeyed  through the streets of Hong Kong to find some milk tea and a de-brief, but as usual we couldn't resist posing in front of the lovely Christmas decorations (with very full tummies) until the next #plushimeetup 🐻🐻🥪😋

Mario Travel Monkey and Paddington met at the historic Blue House in Wan Chai, one of Hong Kong’s last remaining wooden tenement building
🐾 
After monkeying around inside we posed for photos like true plushie professionals and then wandered off to admire some of the sparkling Christmas decorations
🐾 
Mario showed Paddington a proper plushie Hong Kong brunch with French toast, pineapple buns and plenty of chatter, though Paddingtons idea for fried marmalade sandwiches was politely declined 
🐾 
Until the next #plushimeetup 🐻🐵💼🌏🐾🍌🍊🥪🍍🇭🇰😋

Riding the Peak Tram in Hong Kong feels a bit like Riding the Peak Tram in Hong Kong feels a bit like being pulled up the side of a mountain by magic
🐾 
This little tram has been carrying passengers to Victoria Peak since 1888, climbing so steeply that the skyscrapers outside look like they’re leaning
🐾 
I loved the views, the breeze and the thrill of reaching the top… although I do wonder if marmalade sandwiches taste better at high altitude

Monster hunting in Hong Kong 👾 🐾 So apparently Ho Monster hunting in Hong Kong 👾
🐾 
So apparently Hong Kong’s Monster Building isn’t really full of monsters (slight disappointment there), but it is one of the city’s most famous architectural beasts, a dense cluster of 1960s apartment blocks built to house thousands during Hong Kong’s rapid urban growth
🐾 
Standing in the courtyard feels like stepping into a living canyon of balconies and colours, and although I didn’t spot any actual monsters, I did meet plenty of friendly faces

Hong Kong’s trams are living history on wheels 🐾 Hong Kong’s trams are living history on wheels
🐾 
Running since 1904, these double-decker 'ding ding' still rattle faithfully along the tracks of Hong Kong Island
🐾 
I spent the afternoon hopping on and off, learning that they once carried cargo, mail, and even had first and third-class sections 
🐾 
And the best part? A new friend here in Hong Kong snapped a BTS photo of me and one of my assistants (unbeknownst to us) . I must say, I look very focused on my posing.. I mean sightseeing! Paparazzi much? 
🐾 
Hong Kong’s trams may be old-school, but they’re full of charm and apparently perfect for accidental photoshoots 🚃🇭🇰✨

Time flies when you’re having fun and two months i Time flies when you’re having fun and two months in Japan is never long enough
🐾 
From the shrines of Fukuoka, the island gardens of Nokonoshima, retro charm of Mojiko, quiet streets of Masuda, sacred Izumo Taisha, castle views in Matsue, old towns of Kurayoshi, sea-kissed Tottori Dunes, countryside rides on the Kibiji Bike Path, canals of Kurashiki, peaceful Sakunami Onsen, and temple climbs at Yamadera
🐾 
And of course, visiting my Japanese family in Sendai, sharing meals, stories, and so many laughs that my little bear belly still hurts
🐾 
Japan, you’ve given me gardens, shrines, trains, sunsets, festivals, friends, mischief, and memories I’ll treasure always
