New places unsual things


I love being taken away from normalcy. When you're in a foreign country even ordinary things seem exciting and new. Here's a HK vending machine with labels of drinks I've never tried.

Guess what this is


Guess what this device strapped to a pole in the street does? Well at a cross walk you look at the green man to know when its ok to cross. If you're blind, maybe you listen for a walk siren which is a repeating tone at a particular speed. If you're blind and deaf, you put your finger underneath this device, and feel its vibrations. Amazing.

Even Bruce Lee likes it


The greatest martial art hero likes yellow and black. Bruce Lee is great because he doesn't just play a kung fu warrior in the movies, he IS one in real life. If you watch his biography, you'd know that he developed a martial arts style called Jeet Kune Do. He was said to be able to punch a guy across a room by moving his fist just 1 inch. This is a wax figure of him at Madame Tussaud in HK.

Dancing on the Vatican steps



A lot of signs are in yellow and black. This one was kind of interesting given the context of where it was taken - in the Vatican. The person, seems to be dancing - techno-style - on the steps of the Vatican. Careful. You might fall.
