On my way back from vacationing in China, I managed to take care of some business in Hong Kong and Japan. Since it was my first trip to either location, I snapped a few photos.

1 My Hotel View From the Excelsior Hotel in downtown Hong Kong.
2 Downtown Hong Kong Man, this place is crazy!
3 The Noon Day Gun Every day at noon, they fire this gun. It helps everyone set their watches, I guess.
4 Stanley Beach Just a short bus ride from Hong Kong is a nice, but crowded beach. There are alot of beach activities available. Wish I would've brought by bathing suit!
5 Hong Kong's Star Walk Among the attractions is there walk of stars. A Bruce Lee statue is on the walk.
6 Shinto Shrine in Japan I visited a shrine near Mt Fuji with my friend Kurt and his family.
7 The Shrine We had to take a cable car to a small mountain top to get to this shrine. Very isolated.
8 On the beach near Mt Fuji Kurt playing with his daughter, Emily.
9 The story of the Pine Tree There's a fairly tale about this 650 year old pine tree. Check out the following photos for a description.
10 Hagoromo Read about the story here...
11 Karaoke - Japanese Style So, the REAL karaoke clubs come in the form of isolated booths, where only your group of friends can hear you make a fool of yourself. The Japanese would NEVER sing in a public place in front of others!
