Rumble in the Hong
Since I bought my new camera, i spent much time in running around searching for motives ans shot a couple of pics for you:








Meeting the Chan

When I got up yesterday, i crossed my mind to go to the bruce lee statue (again) to take some pics, but when i walked through the New World Centre (some kind of mall)
i met someone else.
First I was wondering about the movie equipment, that was arranged everywhere and i thought they'd record some ad, but when i looked down to the lower floor, i really saw Jackie Chan sitting there, preparing for a take of his upcoming movie!

I couldn't believe it, so i took some pictures, he did some typical sketch with a baby, later he walked over to the baby to nip its cheek;
I wanted to see Bruce lee and met Jackie Chan ... funny, huh?!

Later on, i went to the Man Mo Temple, which is located in Central on HK Island, it's maybe the first really traditional thing i saw in HK till i arrived.
everywhere where Joss Sticks by bundle burning and lots of ....umm...spiral versions of joss sticks (see the pic) so the incense was very strong.


of course there where some monks and people praying to the altar too, so i couldn't use the flash of the cam (that's why some pics are kinda blurry)
really nice place after all and worth the visit.


afterwards i went to the bank of china tower, one of the significant members of the HK Skyline where you can go up to the 43th floor (it has more than 70 overall)

maybe the elevator could have been a bit slower when returning downstairs, but the view was really nice though.
Furthermore I went to Causeway Bay, a part in the east of HK Island, good for shopping (like everywhere in HK) and spent some time relaxing in victoria park, where i nearly fell asleep after 4 days of nonstop-walking.
tomorrow I'll go to Lantau Island, so prepare to see some really nice impressions, because they got plenty of buddahs there

voll der zufall (mit jacky chan)!! die kamera scheint ja nice zu sein! ich hoffe dir gehn die motive nicht aus, aber ich denk mal in hk kann man garnicht genug fotographieren^^
die cam is echt ein traum, ich kann damit selbst schmeterlinge im flug scharf fotografieren, das ist echt super;
motive gibts hier eher zuviele, kann nur noch um die 700 bilder machen und hab aber noch 3 wochen vor mir :(
foto von der cam gibts demnaechst (will hier jetzt nicht herumknipsen :) )
diese jackie chan sache war sehr merkwuerdig, ich komme da hin und da waren kaum leute, und die die hinkamen sind groesstenteils kurz stehengeblieben, haben neugierig geschaut und sind dann weitergegangen, ein paar maedels haben kichernd rubergeschaut aber so der wahnsinnige andrang war da gar nicht, im gegenteil, jackie chan hat sich frei umherbewegt und am foto wo er das baby kneift stand er vielleicht 2 oder 3 meter vor mir...
sehr lustig auf jeden fall zumal man, wnen man in HK ankommt, als erstes mal einen pappaufsteller mit einem grinsenden Jackie chan sieht, wo steht 'welcome to hong kong' oder auf der nathan road dieses 10meterlange transparent mit einer fitness reklame (foto gibts eh irgendwo in einem der blogs) da will man eminen dem typen gehoere die stadt...
