Tiger Balm for a fevered brow

Today we went to Haw Par Villa, or, as it's more commmonly known, Tiger Balm Gardens. It was built as an amusement park in the 1930s, with a (now demolished) counterpart in Hong Kong. Mentholated body rub has been big business for a long time.

Ocean Park

This morning we got out of bed extra early and went down to Causeway Bay to watch Inception: a morning spent in the company of fried shrimp, ice cold air conditioning and a film where the main sound effect is an incredibly loud bwwwwoooong. We missed the first minute or two, but the rest of the film was fully comprehensible; rumours of it being horribly complicated and difficult to understand seem to be exaggerations. Or I just overlooked all the fine detail. Bwwwwoooong!

Disneyland in Hong Kong

Today I had the afternoon off work, so my girlfriend and I took a trip out to Disneyland Hong Kong, a theme park notable for being the smallest Disney-themed resort on Earth.
