Seeking out the sites

Since Asif arrived a day before us he had a chance to explore the city a bit and became our tour guide for the afternoon. He decided to take us out of the "fish market" (the section of town our hotel is in) and to the more central part of Hong Kong where he spent most of Monday.

On the map we went from the Fortress Hill stop to Admirality, switched to the red line and got off at Tsim Sha Tsui.

From there we headed toward the water and decided to check out the Avenue of the Stars. This is kind of like our Walk of Fame in Hollywood, but much shorter and filled with a lot of people you and I have never heard of. On the way there we ended up on this observation deck that looked out over the harbor to the other side of Hong Kong. It was very hazy as you can see below, so the pictures are not that great.

After the observation deck we moved on to the Avenue of the Stars.

And who knew that we had our very own celebrity right in SEO? Little did we realize that our very own Raymond Rosti was big in China.

When we return make sure you get Ray to give you his autograph, it may be worth something in the States someday.
