So trivan mentioned pushing and shoving...that happened to me twice - the second time was far worse and it happened on the way to Victoria Peak.
the line went around the corner...this was the few days that was bright/clear - it had been overcast most of our trip - but highs of 80, low of 70...
One other big change that you cannot tell is that people in HK are extremely "efficient" and want to move quickly. You thought grand central station in NYC is crazy. The escalators/man movers in HK move about 10x the speed of the fastest escalator I've been on in the US. After 10 days of...
Check it out folks - Pizza hut is like GOURMET dining in HK:
Thanks man! Your thread on your trip to the carribean is what inspired this thread!!! I tried to pick up the lobster but there were some sharp barbs on the antennae!!!

Finally - who could go to HK without having chinese dim sum food right?
well we decided to hit a local joint (literally a hole in the wall) but was rated on the Michellin Guide with 1 star. For those of you unaware - 3 stars is the best, and having 1 star is an astonishing feat for a place...
more off-topic stuff....
we also went to a seafood market...no not like the fulton fish market or the seafood section in pricerite. I mean like a town where most of the stores are open stalls selling fresh and LIVE seafood. you have the option of bringing it home live to clean yourself (what a...
Angry birds is very popular...there were all kinds of accessories (e.g. iphone covers, ipad covers, etc) - but i couldn't resist snapping a photo of these huge stuff animals. we probably have them in the states too.
Here's a display in the japanese department store called Sogo - i thought it...
As we are in "open water" - i wanted to post some other stuff...like the largest toys r us in hong kong...and while that's not much compared to US sized things - it had some impressive displays:

They had a beautiful bird on display here, considering the bird flu epidemic from years ago in asia - i was impressed:
jellyfish exhibit was pretty neat - they used LEDs to light up plain old jellyfish into some pretty funky looking aliens:
So...of course I wanted to go to Tung Choi...
Pics from Ocean Park - an amusement park type place similar to seaworld. We went on a monday and unfortunately I guess so did all the schools because I had a very hard time taking pics without getting elbowed.
First of all - i think there is some stereotype about asians and cameras - well I...
