Hong Kong (part 2)

Two of my work colleagues, Emily and Courtney, were visiting China in the past week. Therefore I had to take them to Hong Kong to check out how different it is from mainland China. I love getting away to Hong Kong even for a day trip as it's very different for sure.

I thought this was too funny. It's a sign on the road that says "Maintain Cough Manners." It goes into detail as to what you should do when one coughs. It's really funny when you compare it to what does happen in China when someone coughs, sneezes, etc. Essentially they do nothing and have no problem coughing all over you or your food!
Hong Kong has a walk of stars so to speak. Almost all the stars have their names in the ground, with their signature and sometimes their hand prints. Except Bruce Lee, well he is the greatest as this local will attest. It was too funny watching him try and get the pose exactly right. His wife kept yelling adjustments at him! All in all he got it pretty close.
Lastly, this one sums up what lots of people think Asia good are... "Cheapy". Well not in Hong Kong they aren't as it is expensive like New York City in reality. However the photo is priceless to me...
