This is a good shot of what the apartement buildings are like - the entire city is like this. It's hard to describe how dense the population is here, but it is still safe and friendly. Got to love the former British Empire!
Allen admiring a bronze of Bruce Lee on the "walk of stars" (the waterfront in the Kowloon District looks out at down town Hong Kong). Jakie Chan lives here too, though I didn't see him taking any pratfalls or running up walls, etc. (or using either of his two facial expressions!)

I tried to have the "Hong-Kong-iest" breakfast I could yesterday. The result: Fried noodles and chille sauce, scrambled eggs, grilled tomatoes, hashbrowns and toast. This was one of the best hotel breakfasts I have ever had, and this plate turned out to be only round one... (needless to say I didn't have much lunch yesterday)
Ok, that's enough for now, see you in Shanghai!

What a cosmopolitan breakfast, Pete! Chinese noodles, American hash browns. & good old British grilled tomatoes!
I can easily see how you enjoyed this one.

You've redeemed yourself with the breakfast picture. ;-)
That skyline picture is awesome -- I've always wanted to go to Hong Kong. Where to next? You might run into Jill!

Wow, how did your stomach hold up after that breakfast? I sure hope those were blueberries...they look suspiciously like olives.
I like how you take pictures of your food. That's definitely not something I do.
Love ya!

Loved the Jakie Chan paragraph!! Too funny. Beautiful photos once again! Thanks for sharing! (next time I post I'll be sure to use more exclamation marks!)
