Up in the clouds



I see this big ole building most days in Hong Kong at some point towering above the skyline. But when I took this picture it was the first time in a good few days that the top of the building was not obscured by clouds/smog/fog/mist. It is called the International Finance Center (IFC for short) and is where the rich people go shopping :)

Anyway, today is my last full day before i fly off to Beijing untill the 8th of May when I get back. From what my friend has told me I don't think I will be able to log into the blog whilst I am there due to media restricitions and the like. You kind of forget you are visiting a place where media is monitored and controlled.

I am also going to drop in a picture I took in the New Territories of Honkers when I was doing some work in a college. I was wandering around the place when I got to a rooftop section that overlooked a main industrial port of Hong Kong.

There were multicoloured containers and cranes for unloading the ships as far as the eye could see. It was quite a different sight to the normal polished skyscrapers and other big buildings you see closer to home.
