Cloudy Sunset at Kota Kinabalu Malaysia

A somewhat over cast sunset at Shangri-La’s Tanjung Aru Resort in Kota Kinabalu. Previously known as Jesselton, Kota Kinabalu is becoming a major destination for tourist and as a stop off for Mount Kinabalu, the second highest mountain in South East Asia.

Hong Kong Demonstration

Annually on the 1st of July, Hong Kong Streets giveway to the March for Democracy and Civil Rights.  Being realtively new to having some say in their Governemt via limited suffrage, the peoples look forward to this day and some even do it in style and mostly peacefully.  In hong kong the people know they do not have universal suffrage and use people power to make their voice heard, unlike in the mature western democracies where the populace have been moulded into thinking their vote really counts.

Hong Kong Advertisment Skyline

Hong Kong Island has a world famous skyline of tower blocks situated on a narrow strip of land in-front of the dominating mountains. On street level neon signage covers every avilable space. Here we see how its elevated itself to new heights as seen from the kowloon side of the harbour.

Hong Kong Clock Tower

The Hong Kong clock tower is all that remains of the Kowloon Railway station before the station was relocated. The site is now redeveloped and hosts the Hong Kong Space Museum, The Hong Kong Cultural Centre and The Hong Kong Museum of Art.

In this view we see one other area,  just to the right that needs to be redeveloped

Hong Kong Busses

Hong Kong`s Mass Transit is probably second to none, Either buy Coach, Citybus, Trams or Underground you can get from anyplace to anyplace else.  Actually finding the right transport to board is another matter if you don`t have a clue.  Every Body wants a window seat so the last seat available is always at the back, thats if your lucky and get on early in the route. Come late and its standing room all the way.

Pui Pui

Hong Kong`s crocodile Pui Pui was spotted swimming in one of the local rivers in 2003 and evaded capture for a few months, even giving and Australian Crocodile hunter the slip before being caught.  Pui Pui lives in Wetland Park in the Hong Kong New Territories.  Stuck in a glass cage she seems quite happy and gave a yawn when I was there or maybe she was licking her lips.
