hong kong

if you live here, you can take the tram to your house every day.

this is the view of downtown hong kong island from victoria peak. a little foggy. i'm choosing to believe it isn't smog because hong kong is so wonderful.
this is jane's neighborhood near the central line. it is suuuper fancy.
and there's a little market down the street in the mornings.
this is the laser light show you can watch from the avenue of stars, where we were.
this is a bad picture but i was trying to capture the memory of these juice stores. you can get whatever blend of juice you want. and for 10 HKD which is like a dollar and 20 cents.. how can you go wrong? it's delicious, you watch them blend it in front of you, it's cheap.
dim sum at this place anthony bourdain went to in hong kong. that's shrimp wrapped in a rice noodle and tsa xiao bao, bbq'd pork inside a rice flour bun, which are my favorite things.
this is the gondola ride to the mountain with the buddha on it. it's a 26 minute gondola ride over all of those mountains and a bit of water.
see the buddha?


and that is hong kong.

i am sooo sleepy. andy and i went to first thursday in austin which is when a bunch of stores and restaurants on this one very walkable, cool street are open late. it was just chilly enough to walk arm in arm, but not quite glove weather.
