It’s been a long 3 1/2 days, so here’s a quick video post. When I went up to Ngong Ping Village in Hong Kong, I was walking over to the temple when I came across this bull grazing.

I took a ride on a ferry all around the Hong Kong harbor. Here we are stopping at Central Pier to pick up a few people. First they churn the water really hard to stop the forward momentum, then a guy pulls us in.

So at the 2008 Beijing Paralymics, they had these things that looked like toy cars that you could stick the javelins in, then use a remote to drive it up and down the range. They didn’t work all that well…
