A few more shots of the side streets of Hong Kong. A delicacy from one of the street markets.

This sign made me laugh. Was it a rough Grand Opening or a sign that is long overdue to come down?

I was asked what HK is like the other day. I am far from an expert on the city as my travel there involves the usual; airport > hotel > office > meetings > hotel > airport. I did, however, take my camera and wander around one lunch time that I had free.

My opinion, Hong Kong is a city of poles. Multi-billion dollar, ultra modern buildings with extremely old buildings and farmers markets squeezed in-between. It is interesting to see.

Durian anyone? I can always smell it in a market.

A Hong Kong scaffolding truck. They will build a 50 story building with bamboo scaffolding.
