more hong kong (a week ago) part one

Yesterday (Monday 1/7) I did a bit of idle (?) wandering around HK, it was extremely warm all day and even into the night. The day seemed to take about a week, there was so much to take in. Extraordinary. I am still not entirely sure what to make of it all, or what to make of the fact I am such a dweeb I found it so dazzling. First things first, I got an Octopus card. 

Then I went to Sha Tin proper, as opposed to where I am staying, a couple of stops up the line from Sha Tin. I had high hopes for Pet's Park and for all I know it's amazing but... 

...this was the only pet currently in residence: 

I am not sure what Olympic event this picture is promoting/commemorating. 
Um... like the Pet's Park I was too early for this. Opens at 11:

I don't quite know what these figures signify, but I liked how corroded they were on top. It's cool 

And this is like, wow, a building. It's tall!!!
And this was going to be a series on what people presented to the world from their apartment windows but I didn't really see anything much of great interest. 
More soon, my computer is overheating!!??!!

I'm going to come back to this ep of Ryan because it has an amazing North Melbourne car chase, but first I want to honour Margaret Cruic...
