Exploring Hong Kong

I had to wake up early in the morning and ride the bus to Hong Kong. It was a 3 hour ride and the whole time I was listening to another lady barfing on the bus ewwww

My gross ant bite. It was throbbing and painful. It was like I had a heart beating in my finger. I could even see it pulsating from red to white to red lol

Time to explore Hong Kong!

Hong Kong
Went to the waterfront where the Avenue of Stars is located. It's like Hollywood's Walk of Fame but Chinese version.

Olympic Torch

Beijing Olympic Torch. Did you know the Beijing Olympics logo is the Chinese character for Beijing?! I thought it was just a stick figure of a dude running until my mom told me. So creative!

Li Tit o_O; I didn't know who 95% of the stars were. Hong Kong/Chinese/Taiwanese entertainment, you're so foreign to me!

Hong Kong at night

Hong Kong
The light show - "A Symphony of Lights" the world's largest permanent light and sound show. All those buildings have lasers coming out of them. It's pretty crazy that this happens EVERY night.. so it gets this crowded every night as well?? I tried my best to take a decent picture lol fail. Darn my shaky hands!!!

Hong Kong
Aw why so cute

Hong Kong
I wish I stayed at that hotel. Is that just a Canon sign or is it a store?! I wanted to go there and see if they had the 5D Mark II.. but good thing I never made my way over there. Doesn't matter anyway since I eventually bought it a couple of months later ^_^

Hong Kong
Shiny reflective pole. I couldn't help it.

Time for dinner!
