Cityscape By Night

---

Our day was spent at Ocean Park, an amusement park and aquarium in Aberdeen on the south side of Hong Kong Island. We hit the rides all day long and had a contest to see who could make the best silly face for the ride cameras. I, of course, made a standard-issue cripple face - complete with clasped hands and drool all while trying to lick my ear, and on the last ride pulled such a stern look that you'd think I wasn't having any fun at all. My vote goes to Denise though, whose hair was flying straight back, and had such a terrified look on her face you'd think her skin was about to peel off.

But the highlight of the day was the clear(ish) skies at night allowing us an illuminated view of the skyline, and a close second was me getting propositioned by two prostitutes on a pedestrian overpass while Denise was off taking pictures. So we jumped at the opportunity - to view the skyline of course (get your head out of the gutter!) - and rode the ferry across Victoria Harbour to the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade in Kowloon. All in all, it was a low-key day, and we enjoyed the late night amble looking across at the best skyline in the world.

From the Star Ferry
Out on the water, the best 7 minute boat ride anywhere.

Wan Chai
This was the overpass where the two ladies of the night offered me their services.

Traffic
Cars, all the time, everywhere.

Street Scene
The city stays busy very late, but unlike New York it actually sleeps.

Feeling Artistic
Denise has been playing with the settings on the camera and has come up with some cool shots.

Bank Of China Tower
Third tallest in Hong Kong, and definitely one of the most distinct.

Downtown Light Show
Thirty buildings participate in the world's largest light show every night at 20:00, set to music too!

Central Plaza
In the Wan Chai district, on the right is the second tallest in Hong Kong.

Black & White
Something to be appreciated in person, we spent about 3 hours taking pictures and just looking across the harbour.

What a city by night - captivating skylines - glad Chilly saw it all. Camille - didn't your father have "that talk" with you years ago? Denise, you must have been LYAO at the whole thing - did you feel invisible? Love to both.
