I spent the better part of my day on the water in Victoria Harbor on a pretty cool looking ferry. It was $350 HKD for a four hour tour around Kowloon, Hong Kong, Wan Chai, Tsim Sha Tsui, HK Shipping yard, and some other little areas. If you are not a fan of shipping yards or large city buildings, just go ahead and wait for the next one as that is the only thing I took pictures of today. It was pretty hazy, but let's face it, there are very few days here in the summer when it is not hazy. I had a ticket for the HK Laser light symphony for tonight, but a massive T-storm came in and cancelled the trip. I will have to hit that one some other time. All of the building in HK and Kowloon are light up with lazers synchronized to a symphony that is blared out over the water. Supposed to be a pretty spectacular event. I will send pictures of that when I get to do it.

There is something wrong with the flash viewer on the website tonight. I can't rearrange the pictures of comment on them. So I can't give you the information I would like to. The pictures of the shipping yard don't do it justice. I am sure you have all seen a shipping container before, but the look like lego blocks on these enormous ships. This is the third largest port in the world, behind Singapore and Shanghai meaning that three largest shipping ports are relatively near each other. There is lots of stuff made and shipped through here.

Anyway Enjoy the pics, sorry I can't get it right this time!
