This past week, including both Tomb Sweeping festival, and Easter, we went to Hong Kong in order to process Jenny's Work Visa. There's a lot that can be done in a week's time. On the first day, we hiked up Victoria's Peak, which, interestingly, is the same thing we did when we visited Hong Kong almost exactly one year ago ( http://building614.blogspot.com/2008/04/our-first-trip-out-of-guangzhou.html ). We also visited the science museum. They have this very large Energy machine, which unfortunately was not working. You can see the picture, it's supposed to have balls rolling through all these crazy twists and turns. It's a very large version of what we saw in South Korea when we went to the rolling ball museum.
The picture of the tube of white beads was interesting - on one end of the tube was a speaker, that was playing either a monotone or music. And the beads would dance to the music as they lined themselves up with the wave form from the music.
At the art museum, somebody had painted what it's like to ride a public bus in China.
While we were there, the Hong Kong International Film Festival was going on, so we caught a French film about a father and his grown daughter. While waiting for the film at the cultural center, there was a group of dance students performing, though some of the performances seemed more like rehearsals.
Overall, we had a good time, but we were ready to return home - it's tiring living out of a hotel.
