A week in Hong Kong with Ramses the Roaming Ram™
My last few days in Southern China happened to coincide with the May Day holiday weekend, which also happened to coincide with my trip to obtain a new visa in Hong Kong. Appropriately, I dragged Ramses along to snap some photos at two of the SAR‘s more notable spots.
Atop Victoria Peak overlooking The Harbour. No, I did not look ridiculous holding a stuffed ram on the Victoria Peak Tram.
Catching some rays at Tai Long Wan (Big Wave Bay) in the New Territories. Thank God I'm not as pale as Ramses.
RECOUNT: Renaming the Roaming Ram™
The polls have officially closed and the name “Ramsey” has emerged as a clear winner. It appears as though Roaming Ram™ finally has a name
BUT… it has come to my attention that the name Ramses would be much more BA, on account of that awesome pharaoh dude with the same name. So I’m going to be democratic and open the polls again for a Round 2. But just this once.
Ramsey or Ramses?
- Dude, Ramses. It's, like, historical n' stuff. (Pick this one). (57%, 4 Votes)
- The tribe has already spoken. Ramsey. (Don't pick this one). (43%, 3 Votes)
Total Voters: 7

Introducing the Roaming Ram™
I recently received this stuffed ram as a gift from one of my students and immediately knew I needed to incorporate him into my everyday lifestyle.
BFF.
So, I came up with the not so original idea to take a photo with him in front of every cool destination I visit while traveling.
Unfortunately, Roaming Ram™ wasn’t around when I visited a few famous destinations earlier this year, but I was able to find these hypothetical photos of him traveling around Asia. (You think I used Photoshop? Please. This is the Internet. Ethics, people*.)
What the Roaming Ram™ would have looked like in front of the Great Wall when I visited in August. What do you mean his resolution seems sharper than the rest of the image?
What the Roaming Ram™ would have looked like in front of Angkor Wat when I visited Cambodia 2 months ago.
Always trying to upstage me, even hypothetically. What the Roaming Ram™ would have looked like blocking me in front of the Petronas Towers (Malaysia) when I visited in October. What do you mean Roaming Ram™ seems to have much better lighting than the rest of the photo?
The Roaming Ram™ would have come in handy for covering people who should have worn less revealing bathing suits in Phuket, Thailand during my trip there 2 months ago. Unfortunately, even he can't be in two places at once.
This is where I need your help. My new friend needs a name. Roaming Ram™ isn’t a name, it’s a breed of ram—an endangered but soon-to-be-mass-produced one at that. He can’t go along living his life posing awkwardly in photos without an identity. So, I’ve created this handy dandy poll thing (so meta!) to let you help me pick.
What should the Roaming Ram™'s name be?
- Ramsey the Roaming Ram™ (43%, 9 Votes)
- Rocky the Roaming Ram™ (24%, 5 Votes)
- Ignatius the Roaming Ram™ (19%, 4 Votes)
- Ricky the Roaming Ram™ (5%, 1 Votes)
- Ray the Roaming Ram™ (5%, 1 Votes)
- Other (add in the comments section) (4%, 1 Votes)
Total Voters: 21

*Okay, maybe I used Photoshop.
