Since coming back from Bonnaroo and Brittany arriving in Singapore it has been a pretty good mix of activity - travel, partying, good food, work, meeting friends and getting comfortable/situated. Had a trip to Hong Kong and I carried on to Shanghai for work (couple photos below). Hong Kong is a pretty cool city to see and we happened to be there during their equivalent to "Independence Day". The biggest difference being the fact that theirs just happened in 1997 and is therefore celebrated/demonstrated/experienced in a much more contentious and less joyous fashion. We got to see a lot of the march that goes on for the better part of 12 hours.
Also, we visited a site they call "Big Buddha" (Tian Tan Buddha) which was pretty cool and impressive in the both pure physical scale and its sense of engineering accomplishment. Plus we took a pretty long cable car to get there which provided some pretty awesome views of the surrounding mountains and hills.
Heading to Perth next week for work and then a few days of relaxation, wineries/breweries, countryside, and winter weather!!! Should be a great trip and Brittany's first visit to Australia. More to come on that soon...
