arriving in Hong Kong was a great way to enter Asia. It's like New York only Asian. no real culture shock here. Of course, since Keely speaks Chinese so many cultural difficulties were easily overcome.

if you didn't already know, Hong Kong is an island built into a little mountian rising out of the sea. the skyscrapers are all on the flat parts near the bottom, so that when you get on top, you are looking out over them. pretty strange. also, it is coverd by clouds fairly regular, thus the haze in this image.
