Shot the Lumix some more today, seemed easier than carrying an SLR. Too bad there is so much smog and humidity that visibility is decreased. It was warm and about 90% humidity. Dave and I were a bit uncomfortable since it is the first humidity this year for either of us. We watched turtles and koi in a pond in the morning, poor little turtles had a hard time fighting the koi as they swam to get onto the rocks.
View from the bubble elevator (lift) to our room, aside from the little bit of glare that is a true representation of the decreased visibility due to the pollution. You can really feel it in your lungs. Early afternoon we saw a man taking a jog, I can only imagine that running here is an acquired skill, not an activity for people new to the area.
The pool at our hotel, very French inspired area on the roof of the hotel.
We walked through Kowloon and browsed at all the shops, one street over is how I imagined China. This is further down Jordan Street, maybe a mile or so, very geared to foreign tourists.
Near the end of the peninsula we found this building as construction workers where taking down the scaffolding. They moved so fast along the bamboo structure as it weaved back and forth. We watched them work for quite a while. So different than in America. I couldn't help but think about workers comp.
