Artsy or just a bad picture? You decide.

Trip to Kowloon to see the Avenue of the Stars, then a bus ride to the other side of Hong Kong Island to shop @ Stanley Market |
For transportation, the Octopus card is for travel on
the subway and buses. It's also accepted at McDonald's, 7-Eleven, etc.
You can also buy a watch and recharge that with money too for transportation.
Cool!
|
On the way to Kowloon via subway
|
And where are we?

Anybody know where we're going?

I'd love to live here

I loved that old 70's show. What was the theme? "Spader Man, Spader Man. He can do all the things a spader can." |

Visit to Lantau Island to see the Big Buddha and the nearby Po Lin Monastery |
We took a ferry across the gulf to Lantau Island

The ferry ride from Hong Kong Island to Lantau Island
is 30 minutes

A hydrofoil -- I've never seen one in real life

Friday |

It's not only Friday, but my last workday in Hong Kong. For dinner, we went to Jumbo in Aberdeen, a large floating restaurant |
Jorge just did something very inappropriate. I'll let
you guess.
|
The new Chinese New Year is coming up Feb 6th or something
|
Uh, a cool outside shot of the streets of Hong Kong?
Okay, I've taken better, I admit it.
|
Check out that billboard. Some people just have too
much money.
|
The Jumbo floating restaurant in Aberdeen
|
How do you get there? Oh, by boat.
|
Olivia, Mary, Wayne, Jorge, Juan
|
Oooh, now we're zoomed in
|
It's so gaudy, you gotta get a picture
|
Okay, so do I
|
|
It's friggin' huge
|
Now, on to dinner!
|
Kitschy, kitschy, ya ya, da da. Mmm yeah.
|
Just one of the large dining rooms
|
Juan and the world's saddest margarita
|
|
Olivia doing her "thumb" song. Hey, beats
the hell out of me, but she just started doing it in public.
|
Could this be the most boring picture ever taken? Who
took this photo?
|
Everyone wants to be in a photo. Hmm, I guess I've never
met a photo opportunity that I didn't like.
|
Okay, this is getting ridiculous
|
"Ipe, you think this is funny? Real funny, huh?"
|
|
Jorge finally rectified the situation by the proper
use of an angry elbow
|
I think Wayne is letting his new promotion get to his
head
|
I'm not sure if this is comical, or gay. You decide,
but keep it to yourself.
|
Group photo [warning: large] in the Emperor's Throne
|
Bad photo outside Jumbo, or bad photo? You decide? Also,
who's that girl? Does she want me? These are the questions that demand
an answer!
|
|
|
|||||
Someone came to eat at Jumbo in their Porshe. Asshole.
|
Then again, a Lotus was parked right next to it
|
Damn, it's tiny
|

Saturday |
|||||
After going out for "one drink" with Jorge, I went to bed by 4:30am. I figured I'd get up by 7am, pack, and leave by 9:15am. Unfortunately, I snoozed, and woke up by 8:45am. Nice. Still, no worse for the wear. |
Damn, Hong Kong Int'l Airport is huge
|
Burger King & Popeye Chicken. Hmm, what to eat at
10:30am?
|
All a geek needs: free internet and Diet Pepsi
|
I'm on my way! Hong Kong -> San Francisco -> Newark
NJ
