The view from the Star Ferry
If you look real hard you might see Batman jumping off the building.
Maybe some day we'll have such a view.
I love that they use bamboo

Where's the palm oil?
Our trip to Hong Kong reminded me why Manila is a fantastic post. Incredible cities like Hong Kong are a two hour plane trip away. We went to visit an A-100 friend and enjoyed a weekend in the first world. Our first night there our friend took us to what the locals consider a "seedy" area of town, but all I could see was evidence of working infrastructure and money. It's amazing how one's definition of "nice" changes. Manila has plenty of upscale malls and areas of abject poverty, but there's not much in between. And you certainly can't find Guinness on tap.

Hong Kong is one of my dream posts, but I am afraid that I would grow to hate it after a while.
