Hong Kong at a Glance

I haven't posted as frequently as usual the past couple weeks. I'm going to blame it on our recent trip to Hong Kong. We had to leave the country for a few days since we don't have Japanese visas, yet. We figured we might as well visit Heather's cousin, Spencer, given the opportunity. He is working as an investment banker and living on Hong Kong Island.


This is a picture of the area where he works and lives from the other side of the harbor. The tall building to the right was in the new Batman movie, and the second tallest building, in the middle, is I.M. Pei's Bank of China building.


This is a picture of the sun coming up over the east side of Hong Kong Island, where there are more residential buildings.

There is a walk of fame along the harbor that is similar to Hollywood's walk of fame, but scaled down and all but completely missing camera-bearing tourists...

This was one of my favorite parts of Hong Kong. Bruce Lee is one of the most intriguing people I've ever read about. It was fun to see his statue on the walk of fame. I read that the building in the background can be disassembled and reassembled elsewhere relatively easily.


Bruce Lee!
