| 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.

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