My friends said I brought the typhoon to Hongkong. Some said I must be really lucky, came here to witness a no.9 (level) typhoon. And I must agree that I am really lucky to have the front row seats to experience mother nature’s fury. Here’s the view right beside my bed. I call it the 300 inch LCD TV with dolby surround sound system (i can hear the whistling wind and pounding raindrops). The cityscape in Hongkong is pretty amazing. Because of the low cloud base, the city lights gets reflected off the clouds making the city even brighter even after the sun goes down. At about 8pm everyday, I’ll get to watch the fireworks display off Disneyland, which is somewhere near the mouth of the harbour in the picture.

I’m enjoying myself so far. Met some really nice people and had some really good food here. I checked out Causeway Bay on Sunday and it was packed with people. The part that surprises me most is the number of philipinos and indonesians ladies there. It’s like Lucky Plaza in Singapore, just on a larger scale. Apparently, there’s a huge community of foreign maids in Hongkong. That’s something that I didn’t know. Their off days are on Sundays, so they often hang out at Central or Causeway Bay. I can’t help but wonder, how would it be like if they film Young and Dangerous at Causeway Bay on a Sunday. Sir, you want buy parang?
