More roasted goose! Views from Victoria Peak at night are stunning.  I don’t know who Kelly Chen is, but they’ve got a Madame Tussauds wax figure of her here.

Stellar views from Victoria Peak.

Evidently Pizza Hut is considered almost like fine dining here.  The menus have lamb chops, mussels, and prosciutto pizza!  If you haven’t noticed, there are people everywhere in the city.

Today was spent mostly indoors as all the local shops were closed due to a level 8 typhoon headed toward Hong Kong.  The streets are never this empty, even at 3am.  I did manage to find a wifi hotspot by leaning my laptop against the window…

Today was our first opportunity to visit the datacenter (or datacentre).  It’s in a pretty industrial part of town as you can probably tell from the pics below, and there’s a few local restaurants that you probably don’t want to look in the kitchen.  Despite that, the food is still great.  The locals here use bamboo scaffolding, even on really tall skyscrapers which is pretty neat stuff.

New tires rule.  Yea.. my old tires were balding pretty badly.  57,000 miles on my original set of tires… not bad!
