A few pictures from the weekend

Saturday afternoon we went to the Hong Kong Museum of History. It's quite a good museum that gives a very good description of this history of Hong Kong from ancient civilization to the cessation of Hong Kong from China to the British to the Japanese occupation during WWII to life and culture here today. Here are a couple of pictures we took during the day. It's hard to see it in this picture, but this was a hunting "axe" used by the "cavemen" who used to live on Hong Kong Island. Chris is convinced that this is just some random rock that the archaeologists just picked up and put in the display. We're just not sure that this could be used to kill anything.

Chris and the Hong Kong "cavemen". Thankfully, there isn't much of a resemblance.
Here we are on the Kowloon side (where the museum was) with Hong Kong Island in the background. This is right before we took the ferry back across the harbor back home. The ferry is a fun and cheap way to get from one side of the harbor to the other. For HK$2.20 (US$0.28) you get a fun little boat ride.
A view of "Central" Hong Kong. The tall building is the IFC (International Financial Center) tower, the tallest building in HK. Our apartment is about a mile or so up the mountain from IFC and a little to the right. We took the escalator home once we got to the other side.
