May 2012: One of the longest escalators I have been on

So this is capturing the walk from the cathedral up the mid level escalators in Hong Kong.

Photobucket

The sidewalks were full, absolutely full of the maids. 

Photobucket

This was a protest under the HSBC offices

Photobucket

This being Sunday, the maids pop out with their mats and food and music and and and, and have fun. Each nationality (Indonesia, Vietnamese, Filipino, Indian, etc.) have their own areas.

Photobucket

The slopes have been strengthened.

PhotobucketPhotobucket

The glass canyons begin

Photobucket

Some lovely architecture..

Photobucket

Care for a watch? a real one?

Photobucket

Somebody has been drawing on the glass…

Photobucket

Hmmm, nice interesting name

Photobucket

Construction going on..

Photobucket

What on earth are those round things? Eyes?

I love HK’s tall buildings, just brilliant.

Photobucket

That is a serious Pizza!

Photobucket

The traffic is all one way

Photobucket

Dripping with diamonds

Photobucket

So here I climb on the mid level escalator which allows one to rise 135 meters over 800 meters in length. Longest covered outdoor escalator system. Amazing.

I then take the following photographs out from the side of the escalators.

Photobucket

Keep clear and then a van is on it.

An extraordinarily detailed building on the left.

Photobucket

The escalator has restaurants and stuff on both sides, you can jump off the escalators at every transverse road.

Photobucket

I looked down at my tummy with a wry smile..

Photobucket

The escalator and walking walkways change direction over the day.

Photobucket

What on earth is a bloody organic sleeping place? no fertilisers? And sunless tanning on the right, lol

Photobucket

I think I will skip this organic sleeping place even if its emblazoned with the Canadian flag.

Photobucket

20,000 years ago, people who didn't believe in barefoot running got eaten, lol.

Photobucket

Busy street?

Photobucket

Now that’s more like it.

Photobucket

Camera Co…

Photobucket

The famous HK police station.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Pretty forbidding, eh? I wouldn't want to be locked up in here.

Photobucket Photobucket

A steep street, on both sides.

Photobucket

Quite a lot of the offices have these old style air conditioning units.

Photobucket

Hey, a place from home..

Photobucket

Hmmmm, that’s not a Yoga position!

Photobucket

Looking back down the escalators. Can you see how they are covered?

Photobucket

Peeking down a little alleyway..Fascinating place..
