Entering Hong Kong
A movie of some of the many high-rises we passed in Hong Kong.
Another movie.  We also crossed and saw a number of bridges.
A movie of an urban skyline visible from one bridge.
A movie of one of the first non-highway roads I saw in Hong Kong.

Off the bus, a picture looking west down Jordan Road at its intersection 
with Nathan.
Ibid, looking south.  I can already tell Hong Kong likes billboards 
and signs that extend out above the sidewalk or even the road.
An open-air shopping mall I passed on Nathan Road.
Nathan Road, at least in this area, has a wide median, large trees on each 
side, and, at least on the other side, holiday lights.

A video of Kimberley Terrace, what could best be described as a restaurant 
row, about two blocks from my hotel.  Walking down the row, I observed a 
globe-spanning selection of cuisines.
A snapshot of an arbitrary section of Kimberley Terrace, showing the 
crowded alfresco drinking and dining.  All the restaurants were similarly 
full.

Stanford Hillview Hotel
The bed in my suite had two of the largest pillows I've ever seen.
