Hong Kong
I got back from Hong Kong a few days ago and let me tell you it was pretty damn cool. My only disappointment was that no gunfights broke out while I was there...I suspect that the various Jet Li and John Woo movies that I have seen lied to me..
I was also smart enough to time my lunar calendar properly and was there for The Hungry Ghost Festival. It's a kind of a Chinese Buddhist Halloween with strong links to Confucianism. People burn paper effigies of things that the dead will need. I took some pictures, but because it was at night with fire they didn't turn out that good. I figure this cements my religious geek status because I timed my vacation to coincede with a religious festival.
