New pictures uploaded

PicasaWeb now offers 1 GB free space so I uploaded some more albums - most of them are not part of the blog:

PicasaWeb

Enjoy!

I also added all my pictures from Macau, which now also has a blog (as you may have seen in the comments). Macau is a gambler's haven and now is making even more money than Las Vegas. I'm not a gambler so Macau can get a bit boring when the weather is bad.

I will try to find a better logo for my sidebar link to Picasa...

Symbols of Hong Kong

This one here is a good symbol of Hong Kong. I looked at this tower from my hotel room. There are a lot of quite ugly skyscrapers in Hong Kong (my hotel can be included).

A symbol of modern Hong Kong - the Bank of China tower. A tower in Pudong/Shanghai actually looks similar.

This one is next to the BOC tower - it is the ICBC tower (afaik).

HK Disneyland - The Lion King Show

Nice (indoor!) and in English/Cantonese with Chinese subtitles (there are screens with the text).

Some Impressions from Hong Kong Disneyland

It is really small - you can walk from one end of the park to the other within less than 5 minutes. It's still quite nice and there are some good attractions, though when the weather is bad it's boring. Be aware that Hong Kong has a lot of rainy days...
