1. View from my apartment where I got to stay for a month! There is a large apartment building blocking the view if I were to turn the camera to the right a little bit. My uncle said they were new and a few years back you could see the entire harbor unobstructed.
2. And at night.
3. Stayed on the 14th floor for a month for free! My uncle came to teach here and I got to tag along. The school owned the apartment so I stayed for free, even had my own bed and bedroom. Supposedly it was a very large apartment for Hong Kong at least.
4. Found these in the medicine market. There was a ton of weird crap lying around. Smelled horrible but extremely interesting to see.
5. And these too! :Q
6. Minibuses are the sh!t. The drivers are maniacs and drive like a bat out of hell. The minibuses are soooo much better than the double deckers though, and the octopus card is great!
7. Here is Asia's largest outdoor Budha. I thought it was way too commercialized. They even had a Coke machine at the top.
8. After your excursion around the Budha, you get to go trade in your tickets for a snack! Boy was that good eating. :p
9. These guys were there. I saw some get on a bus wearing Nike's but didn't get a pic.
10. No comment.
11. Good Ol' Hong Kong! It is my dream to move there one day, i just got to figure out how.

Anywho, that was my trip to Hong Kong. Hope you have a blast! :beer:

damm man, those are some nic pics., what kind of camera do you have, were some of the pics. taken with a tripod?

I can't seem to get my a70 to take sharp pictures.

Why is the Canon A60/A70/A75/A80 so highly regarded? A lot of the pictures I've seen taken with these cameras hasn't impressed me with their sharpness...

cuz its cheap:p but no, sharpness it doesn't have.

Do not bring more than 10 pirated movies back home, 1 or 2, thats fine, the customs will just throw it away if they ever decide to check. If you bring a whole suitcase of them, and get caught, you are looking at selling your house to pay the fines, as they will think you are a big pirate and will be selling these in the u.s. market.

I thought the Fish District was a good place to go because you can see all the diff. types of fish they don't have in other countries.

There is also the Bird District. They're both in Kowloon.

Have fun getting everything confiscated in customs...
Who said anything about bringing them back? :confused:
