Hong Kong

As promised, here's a sampling of pics from my Hong Kong holidays. (Pictures galore ahead...)

medium_hknight.jpg
Hong Kong and Star Ferry at night.

Dad, sister Bri, and me at Victoria Harbour. Who could pass up a laser light show?

Bri in the streets.

medium_MTR.jpg
Do you think taking pictures on a subway immediately identifies us as tourists?

medium_jademarket.jpg
Me trying my hand at bartering. And yes, I got that jade ring, thank you very much.

medium_5dollarshoes.jpg
Oooh, five dollar shoes!

medium_paulines.jpg
Pauline is a master sales lady. I bought four jackets from her. Don't judge.

medium_gondola.jpg
Wanna see Buddha? Just take a gondola ride.

medium_buddha.jpg
Tian Tan Buddha and the girls.

medium_peninsulatea.jpg
Tea at the Peninsula, dahling. (By the way, if you want to feel really bad about your skills as a knitter, make sure you read Erin's post on Venezia. It is heart-breakingly beautiful.)

medium_ferry.jpg
Erin and I on the Star Ferry. I think ferries are my most prefered form of transportation...ever.

medium_sisdowntown.jpg
Sisters in the heart of downtown. Speaking of hearts, Hong Kong definitely has mine.

Thailand pics to come soon...

So much fun! And your parents look awesome. I am so jealous of all the fun shoping and sight seeing. I am really jealous of that absolutely cute shirt of Bri's.
