Now for some cameraphone pics!

It was patio/t-shirt weather:


Ahhh, good old coke!


What the duce?


Only nice car in Macau, which was otherwise "the home of rice"...  I saw so many Lancer "evo"s with drum brake in the rear...  and no fmic. <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->


Nai-cha? (milk tea)


Forget that, she'll just drink the milk & sugar!


A common sight:


Ocean park?


Amusement park food?

"Soy Milk" and "Sticky Rice Roll - Chi Fan" ha ha, those are the best breakfast for sure.
I used to have those a lot in my high school years back there.

Glad that you enjoy your trip and the 24 kinds herbal tea... :shock:

Nice Defi collection you have there too! 8-)

Yea, that was very odd to me... Since I'm hardly in the top percentile of height here in North America, but *there* I darn well stuck out of the crowds. :P

Awsome pictures!!!!   I wish we were going to HK.. but only Taiwan in May.   I am trying to hook up with some Subaru people there...

That Coke Better have been in China.. cause it is in simplified Chinese and not the traditional that HK used to use before taking over....

Wow, +1 for Ripley.  That was in ShenZhen, just barely into China.  ;)

And HK still seems to be completely traditional Chinese for all the signs + writing.  Even official offices like the Identity card office.
