You think THESE birds are packed in tight quarters?
Try these little fellahs. Hope they all have Arrid X-tra Dry.
Bird dinner.
For a limited time only, the shopping mall next to your hotel comes complete with your very own towering modern art sculpture of tangled wires and shards of glass. Cathy sold separately.
Owen poses in front of the iconic Peninsula Hotel with his first impluse buy of the trip-- an emerald green Bentley sedan!
Action shot of Cathy taking high tea at the Peninsula. The video I shot sounds basically like "slurrrrrrrrp!"
Do you suffer from an overabundance of blackcurrant scones and Jersey clotted cream? Need help facing down a menacing hoard of cucumber sandwiches? Never fear-- Owen! Is! There!!!
From the southern tip of Kowloon, looking across the skyline toward the skyscrapers of Hong Kong Island, just before our harbor cruise.
While on our harbor cruise, I had to use a slow shutter speed on my camera to get good photos of the skyscraper lights, meaning I needed to keep the camera very still to prevent motion blur. Unfortunately the water was a little choppy.
Although I suppose I could pass the blur off as an intentional, artsy effect.
Take enough photos, and eventually the stars will align just right on one of them and turn out like this. How on earth did anyone vacation before the advent of digital cameras?
Welcome to the world of the 6'4" guy on the crowded HK subway. Note that the other white guy on the train is not difficult to spot from this vantage point.
We stumbled upon this teen rock band playing in the shopping mall attached to our hotel on Halloween. From what we could gather, the "Hallow Queen" event they were playing for was some sort of fashion show, or maybe beauty pageant.
The Lippo Centre on HK Island looks like it was made out of Transformers. The owner of the building, Dr. Lippo, made his fortune in the fat suctioning business.
You think YOU'RE Impatiens? When the heck are we gonna get outta here and grab some lunch?
Sacramento: The Camellia Semiserrata Chi City.
It took us quite a while to find the Teaware Museum. Would that all of HK were littered with helpful Teaware Muesum signage like this.
Owen at the entrance to the Teaware Museum. All tea, all the time.
While in Boston, Cathy did a research project on signs like this; the message is "hey, how 'bout taking the stairs instead of the escalator out of the subway, chubby?"
We clogged up the stairway for a solid minute trying to get our cameras to take decent pictures of the his-n-hers take-the-stairs signs. No one minded... because they were all taking the escalator. Sigh...
