Hong Kong day 3

Day 3,we went to the HK Science Centre,Museum of Heritage and Planetarium.

admission was free for all 3 because it was a Wednesday.The Art Museum is free on Wednesdays too(i went the next week),so can just like berkhemah there,coz all the buildings are nearby

Not much to write.The Science centre was very fun because it was mostly hands on learning of science.There was a group of primary school kids there though,so it was very packed.Not really a typical science centre,sort of partially a fun fare kind of atmosphere.Has a hall of mirrors and a corner for IQ games too.

The Museum of heritage was interesting too.There were a lot of people taking pictures there,although I'm not too sure whether that's allowed.The guards didn't complain but then again maybe that's because it happens too often.There were a lot of short documentaries which alternate between English and Cantonese screenings.The best part was the Hong Kong ancient clothes and festivals display.

The Planetarium wasn't all too interesting though.Also it was quite small.Has 3D shows but we gave that a miss(like Imax but by a different company)Ironically I met Mark and family there (from DG071) he said he's staying with his aunt.Somemore went to HK on the same day as me.But he stayed there for 14 days.I was there for only 10.

The Planetarium.A big round ball.

Chinese Opera clothing.Those are mannequins BTW.

Chinese Opera footwear

The Hong Kong Museum of Culture.We didn't go there.It's actually like Actor's studio,all the plays and orchestras are held there.Quite a lot of good plays were on(The Nutcracker,The Little Prince,etc)but of course have to pay wan lah.

scaffolding Hong Kong style.It's all bamboo.Lighter and more durable to the weather I presume.

Christmas decorations at one of the shopping complexes near the Avenue of Stars

looking out to Hong Kong island (from Kowloon island)at night

another view,from the Avenue of Stars

found at the wishing trail at the Avenue of Stars:"I wish for a nice happy warm Chrissy"aww...shucks...(no,I did not write that myself)

One of the vendor carts.

Another one.So cute...

Maybe cannot see this one,this one's Eric Tsang.

My personal favourite.

Also,we saw the daily lightshow along the Avenue of Stars.The HK government organised that to attract tourists.Buildings from Hong Kong and Kowloon islands flash lights across the channel.Some tourists would ride the ferry along the channel for a better view.I wanted to post a video but it's quite slow to load,maybe i'll try again later.The buildings somehow remind me of Transformer robots showing of to each other...

Stay tuned
