Hong Kong, City of Contrasts
More where that came from.
Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated regions in the world, and is famous for its energetic metropolitan area. It has experienced over 5 millennia of human activities, and its unique modern history started when it was founded as a British crown colony and an entrepôt in 1842.
Despite its density, only 17% of land is built up, and greenery is everywhere. It is a place of contrasts - frenetically urban and adjacent to pristine greenery; extremely rich next to dirt poor; Western culture and oriental culture. Victoria Harbour is world famous for its splendid nightview from the Peak. The central business district is heavily urbanised with skyscrapers all around, but country parks are just kilometres away. - Wikipedia

Dude, you take some awesome photos...you know a good one when you see one. It's gotta be crazy staying out there. Hit me up on AIM sometime...I hardly see you on there anymore (maybe it's just me)...quoth the hippie, nevermore.
Thanks.
I haven't been on AIM in awhile 'cause I've been out to sea but I'll hit you up soon as I get back to my... er... base of operations.
