Museum of Coastal Defense

The Museum of Coastal Defense was interesting and, if nothing else, had a great view over the water.


There was also a clear view of a local boat yard. Notice the combination of Chinese and Hong Kong flags.

Everybody struck a pose in front of the cannons... except for me. I had no idea what was going on.

It was later agreed upon that I would have to strike a solo pose to make up for the incident. Behold, my artillery pose.

Why on earth would I post this?

As a final addition. Here's a video of a narrow Hong Kong Mountain Road.

Another Boat Ride and a Trip to Sha Tin

This here is the entrance gate to a Taoist temple that we visited as a tour group.

Paul and I took the Star Ferry back to Kowloon.

Here is Paul waiting for Barry and Ashley (no actual relation) at the Sha Tin rail station.

And here is some idea of the ensuing action upon their arrival.

Wan Chai? Yes, please.

In our quest for visas to enter mainland china, several students, George (Germany), Yusef (France/Morocco), Edgar (Mexico/Canada), Steven (North Carolina) and I headed off to Wan Chai on Hong Kong Island. Things on the island are very energetic.

Market

On our ferry ride back from the island back into Kowloon, there was a magnificent view. To give people a better understanding of what it was like on the boat, I've posted another short video here.

I still took many pictures, and here are some of my favorites.

The pictures about are of Hong Kong Island. The next picture is of the horizon outward from the bay.

And here is a picture with me in the harbor of Kowloon facing toward the island.

Hong Kong Subways?

So I've been riding in all of these trains and I'd like to share the experience with everyone as best I could. The following is a link to a twelve second video of a Hong Kong train. It is incorrectly titled, "Hong Kong Subway."

Oh, and here's a picture of Paul with a sad lego-esque gentleman.

This place is crowded.

I'm tired so this'll be quick.

I went to Mong Kok today and traversed numerous electronic shops and bootleg-filled market stalls. Here is one of the main roads of Mong Kok.

Much of my time was spent today in the ridiculously large shopping mall in Sha Tin. The spirit of father's day was all around. It was almost as if I was at home with my parents...
