Most Well-Equipped Taxi Driver in Hong Kong

I counted 6 cell phones, 4 bluetooth headsets, GPS, mini front-view camera, external speakers mounted in visor, radar detector (I think), plus all the other normal taxi stuff.  Talk about distracted driving...

Hike from Quarry Bay to Mt. Parker to Stanley; Hong Kong Island (Feb. 19, 2012)

Hike started in Quarry Bay at King's Road & Mount Parker Road, proceeding to both peaks of Mt. Parker, and then down to Tai Tam Reservoir and across the Catchwater trail to Tai Tam (Pacific View Apt.).  Then I walked into Stanley Market from there.
