Today I went to the Coastal Defense Museum.
It was nice. I took about four hundred pictures.
The main exhibition is nicely air conditioned. It show the history of military of Hong Kong. From the 1300's, to the Opium War, to British Occupation, to Japanese Occupation, to after 1997.
The out side is the fortifications. There are a few cannon and underground passage ways. There are also some war torn ruins.
I am a bit disappointed that the gift shop didn't have any thing that say Coastal Defense Museum on it. But I did buy two nice pins that are replica of The Hong Kong Royal Police and British Royal Army insignia. My mom bought a magic trick thing.

THE UBER BOX!!
Yesturday I went to The MEGA BOX.
It is the largest mall in Hong Kong. It is about 16 stories high, not including the 2 basement levels.
That place only have a few stores that I am interested in. But I love the interior architecture and design of the building.
I did went to a book store. I love that place, they sell books, of course, but also, DVDs VCDs CDs BRs, and stationary, and USB powered goodies.
I bought a four games bundle for the price of one game!!!! Company of Heroes, Supreme Commander, War Hammer and an expansion pack.
I also saw some Haruhi Suzumiya novels and manga. I would by the manga, but they were missing volume 2. For the novels, I wanted to buy some too, but I don't know how to read. (>.<)

Spaces problem
For my time in Hong Kong, the primary source of my digitized data out put, in put, entertainment, and information is at my Grandma's house. My uncle family live with her and they have broadband access.
The internet speed is quite fast, about 100 mpbs, but I can't seem to access MySpace at that place. I can access it from other internet port. I don't understand why.
So all my blog update at my MySpace page will be late, but I will be too lazy to edit any of the blog posts. So blog posts from many days might just appear on the same day.

Alternative
For this trip to Hong Kong, I purposely didn't bring any games with me.
My goal was, and still is, to finished the first volume to my novel and to experience some nice free flash based/ independent games.
Those flash games are really creative. They are really fun and interesting. Some don't have any good graphics but they play well and some of them look cute.
I really like these independent game makers. They work on these title to have fun and to let other people to have fun. They don't mind doing these game for free, because they are having fun and they want other people to enjoy their creation.
Here are some of the games.

extra strong
The mosquitoes here are very strong. They are hard to kill. Their bites are much bigger. There are more of them. They can even sting over cloths.
The Wind God
The Wind God just pasted Hong Kong.
The real name of the typhoon is Fengshen. Wind God is what Fengshen mean if you are to translate it.
The typhoon arrived last night. It went from a level 1 to 3 then to 8, in the evening.
Trees got blown over. Bus stops got blown over.
My Aunty, Uncle and Cousin is going back home. This morning we went to the airport. Their plane got delay. We ate lunch, say good bye, and we left.
By the time we left the airport, the typhoon sign went back to a level 3. We went past an car accident in a tunnel. But I doubt it is weather related.
Today is the only day, since I return to Hong Kong, that isn't hot. I am actually cold.
There ain't much to do today...

It's a small world, also a small park.
I went to Disneyland Hong Kong with family on Friday.
It was fun. Not as fun as the one in LA. But still fun.
The park was small. Many things are still being constructed and not opened yet.
The transportation there was convenient and affordable. $20.7 HKD for one-way subway ride to the park. They also have this nice automatic train to the park.
The best part is Space Mountain, but it wasn't very exciting. Ocean Park got better roller coasters.
