The "Mean" Streets of HK Island

Yes, there are lots of stairs and levels in Hong Kong (probably one of the reasons why there not many overweight people there). Here you see an outdoor market on one of the many hills.

I've decided to dedicate the weekend to posting images I took while visiting Hong Kong earlier this month. The first four images here represent some of the typical street scenes you see while walking around the city during the daytime.

Looking down.

One of the many winding roads making its way down the mountainside. 

Yes, there is lots of amazing shopping in Hong Kong. Here we are looking at 3 awesome shops (none of which I can afford to actually buy anything on the inside)

The Open Road

Every Sunday during the spring, summer, and fall, a section of Memorial Drive (next to the Harvard campus) is closed to cars... turns into a pedestrian only area. Last Sunday was one of the last days of the year that it will remain closed to cars (kind of sad).

Regardless, I'm pretty stoked that the city of Cambridge would do this. I usually do my grocery shopping on Sunday... and it allows me an easy bike commute to Whole Foods & Trader Joe's. It's also interesting to see the road covered in leaves during the fall. With cars zipping past, you don't notice things like that.
