Lights of Hong Kong

Here are a few more evening pics. Below is a view of HK we haven't shown yet . . . let the partying begin!





Buildings of the International Finance Center . . . you may recognize from Batman!



And M's favorite building - named The Center - at night, it is constantly changing colors - think ROYGBIV!

Home Decorating - HK Style

We recently went out and about with our visitor P (thanks for coming - we had an awesome time)!! Due to the rain, we ended up doing some mall ratting, which is generally not that difficult given the malls are more predominant here than pizza places in NYC! Anyway, we came across a lovely home goods store and felt we had to share. Someone will be getting one for xmas this year . . .

Armani Galore

The building where M works is known as Chater / Armani house. The Armani name is a recent addition and reflects the fact that most of the stores on its 2 retail levels are outlets for various items Armani. See below - you'll note that Georgio is involved in more enterprises than commonly known. And according to Wikipedia, we can expect an Armani airline in 2010 (NY - Milan - Dubai)!



Armani Florist



Armani Creme Nera - for all your cosmetics needs



Armani Dolci - for designer pigout sessions



Armani Casa



Armani Libri - a mind is a terrible thing to waste. To hell with Oprah and her bookclub!



Armani Bar - picture coming shortly.

And finally, you can't miss out on the biggest movie of the year!

Nerd Alert

F went to the Sam Tung Uk Museum which is a rebuilt walled Hakka village with her friend P . . . one of the "activities" was to try on a traditional Hakka hat . . . enjoy the nerditude!

Sudden Storm

So we were out on our balcony enjoying a nice breeze. Since it is the rainy season, it was a bit overcast . . . however, in the course of 3 or so minutes, our view changed quickly . . .











By the way, the building in most of these pictures is the International Commerce Center which will be the tallest building in HK and the third tallest in the world. At the top will be a Ritz-Carlton, expected to be the highest hotel in the world.

Fleeing Hong Kong

A couple of days after Typhoon Fengshen, there were a large number of boats in Victoria Harbor. We presume they had come closer to land to stay safe in one of the typhoon shelters . . . anyway, here is a glimpse of the mass exodus.
