hong kong day 3 april 29th 2011



another cable car ride! 
another day, another cable car ride.

view from the cable car 2 
we took the crystal (?) cabin, a fancy moniker for a cabin with a see-through glass panel for the floor. well, mainly because we couldn't stand the queue.

drizzling 
there's something beautiful about dangling in the air admiring the view from above while knowing that you can drop like a rock into the ocean below. ok, morbid may be more appropriate.

constipating... 
it's not the ride. he's just faking the squemish look.

it's cold!!! 
yo what's up?!

subway store at ngong ping  
gotta give props to the biggest submarine sandwich chain. in the world.

gate to ngong ping village 
gate to ngoing ping village. the weather's worse than the photo suggests.

another gate 
and the gate to the giant buddha.

getting closer to the buddha 
nice... greenery gives a zen feel to it while the fog shrouds the buddha in mystery.

baby and joaquin toughing it out 
this is the day when baby's agnes b. bag from tokyo gets owned by the wet weather.

this is how you do hip-hop, yo! 
just realised joaquin's crocs have carried him to a lot of places.

gathering of pugilists 
can't tell what the flags are for.

one pose before the ascent
before the ascent.

notes: ok, ngoing ping village is definitely not worth going more than once in my humble opinion... but tung chung citigate outlet shopping mall is... looking at these photos reminds me that ah gong and ah ma walked... a lot... we did too of course but considering the difference in our legs... i love how joaquin duked it out with us during that trip... his favourite phrase now is "my back!"... followed by him clutching his lower back... thanks to the spider-man 2 dvd where tobey maguire fell down a building and smashed his back against a car... odd that he picked that up though...
