29.09.05, Hong Kong

Victoria Peak looks great during the daytime, too.

I decide to take a bus through some outlying residential area just to see what it looks like. This is a rather typical view.

Check out the local film archive, which turns out to be closed on Thursdays, and go walking around Wan Chai for the rest of the afternoon.

Wan Chai is supposed to contain the red lights district, and I notice the red lights, but they turn out to be a food market. Nice lunch for one euro, by the way. Nine different deep-fried things that you get to pick.

The subway has glass doors on the platforms. It also has the whole subway map, and the maps in the trains have lights in them to show where we are and where we are going.

In the evening I go check out mid-levels escalator and SoHo. SoHo is a nice restaurant area with a lot of European restaurants for European prices. I have a drink and a look at the crowd in a bar there and bugger off to Lan Kwai Fong for some Thai food. Thai food tastes here the same as in the US, which is quite good.
