More Pictures From Hong Kong, Part 3

This picture from our hotel room pretty much sums up the weather on our second day in Hong Kong.

The Hong Kong Musum of History started with prehistory, and there were a few rooms of cavemen and rock formations.

There was a life-size model of a boat in one of the earlier rooms.  You could actually walk on it, and there was a recreation of a sleeping chamber in the cabin.

Most of the sections in the museum had recreations of traditional ceremonies, like this model of a wedding procession.

Maura and three gods.

One of the later sections showed what life was like in Hong Kong in the early parts of the 20th century.

They love their Disney over here, and this store (and all the Giordanos we've seen) have converted half of their stock to Monsters, University stuff.

When we were hiding out in the mega-mall to escape the heavy rain, we saw that there was a "super hero expo" there, which consisted solely of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers models, games, and people in costume with whom kids could take pictures.  Pretty weird.

This gives a good idea of the number of colorful fish swimming in the ponds in the Nan Lian Garden.

I love these guys.  I thought about stealing one, but carrying it may have been a problem.

Wong Tai Sin Temple.  This picture was taken using my camera's self-timer.

Isn't there an episode of the Twilight Zone where the main character imagines a creature like this on the plane's wing?
