HK - City full of extremes

You see that in Dublin airport these days. Wonder if they'd polish my face when I get back from somewhere hot but without a tan?

Suited guy: "Johnny, tell me what you know about hedge funds in Brazil"
Shoe-shine guy: "I dunno. Why would I know anything about hedge funds in Brazil".
Suited guy slips shoe-shine guy some cash.
Shoe-shine guy looks left, then right.
Shoe-shine guy: "Word on the street..."

Great photos Squiggle - brilliant shots!! What sort of camera did you get yourself? I am in the market for a new one and am getting totally fustrated at the all the info out there. Do you have a web page that we could see them all?

Was in New York myself with a friend recently and had a ball - not so sure that he did tho!!

I got the Canon EOS 300D - an older model but cheaper because of it - and with plenty of functionality for me. It was new and I got it with an 18-55mm and a 90-300mm (both Canon lenses) and also picked up a wide angle. So far I'm very happy with it.

Excellent - sounds good!!.. Not looking for the actually price but on average terms was it very expensive.... yes or no will do.

Did you have a good time in NY?

Going by prices I had seen online and adding in the camera bag and 1Gb card that they threw in I think I got a reasonable deal.

I did have a nice time in NY. It's a great city.

Thats great you had a good time - I had a ball. It is a brilliant city with lots of buzz and plenty to do. I thought the atmostphere was brilliant and the people were wonderful.

I don't think my friend enjoyed it that much altho he did say - like you, it was a nice city. He is a bit of an opinionated dry shiite anyway!! Found fault with everything!!

It was my first time and I will be going back - soon!!

That's cool! I'd been several times before so I kinda new my way around and it wasn't as exciting as it might be to visit for the first time. But I do agree that there is a lot to do and the people are very nice. I was also a bit surprised at what you'll get away with if you're carrying a digital SLR rather than a standard compact digital. I'm still wary of photographing people but there were random strangers waving at me to take their photograph. I also took photos with no problems in areas that I was later told others were given out to for taking pictures.

The only place I had a problem in taking photos was in Chinatown area - the people were very objectional in some places and didn't give a damn in others - I suppose some people just dont like having their photos taken and you have just gotta accept that.

i was going through old photos on my work PC and found these: taken minutes after Edward Genochio cycled into HK. (He had cycled from England, through Europe, Siberia, China, etc.) I took this one as he dismounted, seconds before he was engulfed by the media.

at the time i had the date on my camera and cant remove it from these pics unfortunately.

and funnily enough another young Briton completed a similar journey yesterday. London to HK via a helluva lot of other places. he started in August so fair play to him!
one of the work photogs took this.
