Greetings from Hong Kong!

[A7]

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.

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!

Hungry, here are some food pics I took:

8 oz. Angus burger from the Ritz-Carlton lounge.

Pad Thai, also from the hotel.

I was so tempted to bring these tiny Heinz jars home.

Fusilli with Bacon, Egg and Mushroom from The Spaghetti House.

Super Seafood Deluxe, also from The Spaghetti House.

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.

You guys should do a gig in Hong Kong one day. Perfect atmosphere and endless places to shop.

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.

Well, there's my plane. Looking forward to the next getaway. Up the Irons!
