Summer's around the corner in the Philippines, and I can't wait to go back out there and stalk !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! But before I enjoy the heat, I have some academic stuff to finish. So to keep you company, I'm going to post my photos from Hong Kong last year! Enjoy!

Do you think the latch is just broken or is there a reason it's up? (could be hiding a camera)

Also baller photos, and are Golfs/GTIs really that popular or are they just over represented in your photos? :P

I wish I knew you were coming, I could've directed you to a place where cars like Gumpert Apollos and Pagani Zondas lay...

Actually, you were only about 10 minutes away from them in a few of your photos!

VW's reverse camera. ;)

Considering Hong Kong is part of China, Golfs and VWs in general are pretty popular!

You need more Crown Comforts. MORE.

I love that place. Which part where you in?

Mostly Kowloon (because our apartment is there), Central/Hong Kong, Sheung Wan, East Tsim Sa Tsui and, as usual, Causeway Bay.

Cool. I didn't realize you could force the reverse camera when the car isn't in reverse (at least that's what it looks like)

Um...the reverse lights ARE on.

Interesting. It doesn't look like the inside whites are on
