Hello, Maidens! I just came back from a weekend trip in Hong Kong. During the vacation, I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton, which is within the top 100 floors of the International Commerce Centre. Here are some shots I took from my hotel room and the breakfast lounge:

There's nothing like breakfast at a view over 100 stories. :headbang:

More pics to come.
 
Here are more sights from Hong Kong:

This is the Avenue of Stars, which is Hong Kong's equivalent to the Walk of Fame. Famous Hong Kong actors have their Stars placed on the ground; some even have their handprints and signatures engraved.

Perhaps the crown jewel of the Avenue is this statue of Bruce Lee:

All this walking's got me hungry, so off to find some grub!

My personal favorite, the Wok Braised Beef with Five Spice Capsicum and Basil from Nahm, Vietnamese & Thai.
 
Wow, Jeremy, great photos! (Although, I could do without all the meat portraits. :( ) They just make me want to visit Hong Kong all the more. Thanks for sharing with us!

Yeah, this trip is one hell of a birthday gift. :kickass:

You guys should do a gig in Hong Kong one day. Perfect atmosphere and endless places to shop. :headbang:
 
Some final pics I took of the hotel and the city skyline before heading back home:

Hong Kong International Airport is undoubtedly one of the best airports I've visited. The airport links directly to the Ritz-Carlton via train, so you can simply check in your bags and get your boarding pass at the hotel.
