HONG KONG

I went to Hong Kong back in March for a couple of weeks for work and my Mama has been asking to see them. Here are the pictures i was able to get via my Blackberry, keep in mind that these pictures don't do justice for what adventures, health issues, odd sites, stank smells, and good times i had going to this foreign country by my lonesome! Thank God for Skype calls with my Wifey, cuz although i was on the other side of the world i still felt close to home.
Just flew in, cab ride to my hotel in Wan Chai and he jacks me for an extra $200HK
i didn't realize it till later... great start!








My hotel room was super nice though, top floor and i got pretty comfortable with the spray your ass type toilet. haha!




Looked like gotham city!










That's my nice hotel right next to the building with the clothes lines and chickens running around.







Street markets and street stand foods! Yummo!


Bamboo scafolding!
saw this in Rush Hour 3

Hong Kong Dollars, nice money!

During my visit i ate a ton of great food, i'd go back to HK just for the cuisine alone!
Even the KFC chicken was better then ours.

This shot from where i worked everyday, this is a look over the Victoria Harbor.
The same Harbor Bruce Lee crossed in Enter the Dragon.
I was working and stayed on HK Island and Kowloon is what you see on the other side.



Cubby! Smokey!












Food was really cheap here so i often treated myself to fancy restaraunts often!




a whole bunch of Yao Mings!!! Chinese people are tall over there..
I had no idea..



Street vendors rock!

my home away from home




It rained a lot during my visit, but when it was sunny it was glorious!!







Neelo!

The Dentist i had to visit for a broke tooth (not fun), still fighting my insurance for the money till now!

The Dentist was in Central Hong Kong, really nice part of town!

MTR (mass transit railway) Station, hated this but had to take it once in awhile.



Times Square Causeway Bay, i was in this area often since my hotel was a 5min walk away.





Snakeheads!

Everyday i made time to walk over to this cigar lounge, they had nothing but fine liquer and Cuban cigars!!














this is me on the MTR with my buddy Edward who worked at the site, cool dude! he showed me around a few times which was great! Much appreciated!!!

I went to the Victoria peak which was pretty cool!
