Hong Kong Pt 2

Here are some more good photos from my trip to Hong Kong. This first one is from a cable car ride we took in Lantau Island on my last day, a few hours before I had to catch my plane back to Spain. This was the same place that had the mile-long line when we tried to go on Saturday. This day (Tuesday) there was maybe a line of 5 people, which was really good considering we were on a very tight schedule.
This is Shelley standing in the middle of her school, Hong Kong PolyTechnic University (I think). It's a cool campus with some really cool classrooms/labs for textiles. She showed me one of her classroom buildings for a few minutes.

Here's some food from a Vietnamese restaurant we went to. Shelley of course got hot milk tea to drink.

A view of the city at night during the 'light show'. Several of these huge buildings have special lights that are synchronized together with some very entertaining music. This light show lasted about 20 min and happens every night. Seeing the city lit up at night by itself is pretty amazing, but why not have a nightly light show?

Pork knuckle in noodles. Not the best choice for lunch... but I had to try it.

This staircase (in the middle of the picture) has a tv screen on every step, which makes the effect of one big tv screen from the street. I think it was showing ads for some apparel company.

A very intricate carving that was on display outside a fancy store we walked past one day.

The view from the 15th floor of the biggest mall I will ever see in my life. Each floor was filled with all kinds of different shops.

A good shot of the city during the day and a huge cruise ship docked in the harbor.

Shelley being scared standing on the edge of the 15th floor of the biggest mall I will ever see.

Some cool lights hanging down from the ceiling of the biggest mall I will ever see.

The mall had escalators that took you up 5 floors at a time.

Pig intestines that we bought from a street corner chef. Not bad, but not particularly great either.

Fried sushi roll from KFC in one of the malls. We had to see what Asian KFC had on their menu, and decided that we had to try this. It was delicious.

Another mall we went to had an indoor ice skating rink on the 5th or 6th floor.

Some really cool escalators in a different mall.

Here's some more skate footage from a skatepark that we found in Hong Kong. It was really hot and humid that day, but fun to skate on the other side of the world.
