I had some errands to run in Central and took my camera along for the ride. The first part shows some of Central’s pedestrian walkways, which connect almost every building in the business district. Have you ever seen the futuristic drawing from the 1920’s in which a city is shown where cars drive on ground level and pedestrians walk on bridges? Unfortunately I have forgotten the painter’s name. In Central Hong Kong that’s pretty much a reality.

Lion Dance
Below is a video of a lion dance I recorded yesterday. We watched it together with friends, and the atmosphere was fantastic. The little boy in the golden costume was the star of the performance, and there were lots of other kids, who wanted to touch, feed, and taunt the lions. Please excuse the low quality of the video. I used a camera not a camcorder, and youtube reduced the resolution even further.
We also watched the fireworks display above the Hong Kong harbor. A video will follow tomorrow… I promise :).
