If you'll be in Hong Kong between June 19th and July 2nd, and if you enjoy travel, photography and hanging out with creative people, read on... The much anticipated 3rd annual Travel Photo Cafe has been organized, and this year, it's better than ever.

Our friend Patrick Ng sent in this information:

Travel Photo Cafe
19th June - 2nd July 2009

c!ty'super and LOG-ON will host Travel Photo Cafes at these Hong Kong locations: Times Square, Harbour City, New Town Plaza and APM. The events will feature travel gear like luggage, locks, pouches, pillows etc.

Festival Walk store will be the main Travel Photo Cafe site. It will feature gear for photo and journaling lovers: KOLO Essex Travel Books, Moleskine journal exhibits (showing travel hacks), Midori's Traveler's Notebook, MT Masking Tapes, Lomo and Polaroid cameras, rubber stamps, staz-on inkpads, Canon photo printer, Fuji instax camera etc.

In the Festival Walk store and only in this store, you're invited to play a little game. Pick up a postcard and follow the instructions to find out 4 different icons on the event backdrop. Find beside each of these icons parts of a travel quote written by G.F. Chesterton. If you correctly assemble the quote and write down your contact info, you'll be entered into a lucky drawing with small but interesting prizes, including KOLO Essex Travel Book, etc.

In other stores, if you spend over HK$300 you'll be entered into a lucky drawing for prizes like luggage. In the Festival Walk store, it's free to enter as long as you're interested in playing this little game. Prizes are different, but it's fun.

Three different talks will be held on 20th June. We are accepting registration in any concierge counters in our c!ty'super stores. Speakers will share their journaling and photography experience. Free wine and snacks will be provided, thanks to our friendly wine and snacks buyers. (I'll be the one to clean the glasses, however.)

On Koloist last fall and again on Valentine's Day, we published some of the travel-album pages created by a couple of last year's Travel Photo Cafe participants using Kolo Newport album pages. Check 'em out here and here.
