Pictures From Hong Kong Pt 3

I took around 500 pictures while I was in Hong Kong over the summer, but I never really got around to sorting/processing those photos until this weekend. Obviously 500 is too great a sum for any sane person to want to look through here, so instead here are around 35 (give or take a few) shots that Ana Kim helped me pick out.

Almost everything was shot with my Nikon D60; a few shots were taken with my dad's Sony DSC T-100.

Since there's so many pictures in this post, I've split it up into three parts. This is part 2, and here's part 1 and part 2.

Taxis in Hong Kong are red! They also drive on the wrong side of the road, just like in the UK.

The older parts of Hong Kong are AMAZING to visit, simply because there's so much to see.

So many people, so many advertisements!

The malls in Hong Kong make the ones back in the US look puny.

There was some celebrity holding a press conference in this one mall. This guy was videotaping it.

"Times Square" is an odd name for a mall.

Incredibly, this subway car can be considered relatively empty in Hong Kong. The subways get CRAZY packed during rush hour.

HAIR POTATO! MEEHEE. ^^

Two random people caught in the downpour from the typhoon.

Lantau Island has this mind-bending cable car system.

Ana says this shot doesn't even look real.

At the top of Victoria Peak, there's this big mall/tower called Peak Tower that offers amazing downward views of Hong Kong's Central Business District. A great place for panoramas!

That really tall blue tower that isn't the under construction one in the far background is International Finance Centre Two. Cool place.

At Dian's request, high res version available here.

Even the apartment buildings in Hong Kong are taller than most skyscrapers in Philadelphia.

The Hong Kong Convention Center has this crazy amazing rainbow light-up wall thing. I'm using this shot as my desktop wallpaper right now. If you want the full res gigantic file: click here.

The view down from my dad's friend's apartment. "Apartment" isn't really a good description... condo might be better? At any rate, it was a huge condo. I had this as my background for a while too. Full res here.

Go on to part 1 and part 2.

I'll post more pics from Shanghai and Beijing later, perhaps. If you guys want full res versions of any of these, give a holler down in the comments and I'll post 'em. :)
