Have a magical day!
That's what they tell you when you enter Disneyland. It was my first day in Hong Kong and it was pretty magical ever since...
They have great public transportation system in HK, though a bit expensive as well... The fastest way to get somewhere is with a subway and there's a special line that goes to Disneyland. That's me in that subway, by the way. Even the windows are in the shape of Mickey Mouse:)

A DAY OF CHILDISH FUN!!!:)
The fountains of course also have to have something to do with Mickey. He's everywhere:)
Disneyland HK is the smallest of it's kind, but there's a lot to be done. It's divided into three parts - adventureland, fantasyland and tomorrowland. That's me at the entrence of the adventureland - the place where the pirates, tarzan and Lion king live. (don't ask me what I'm doing in the picture:p Mantas said, I cannot just stand at the gate with the pirates, so I tried something...)
Mantas being friendly with a local sceleton.
Tarzan has a tree house in the island, to get to which you take a two minute swim on the raft. And there you can see the whole story of Tarzan. I was amazed by the details of the place. This picture is taken where Tarzan's parents were attacked by tigers. You can see crashed picture frames, dusty books etc.
The view from the top of Tarzan's tree. We took one of those river safaries;) It was really fun!
The whole idea of the river safari is to get wet and laugh a bit. You can see plenty of animals, "ruins" and pirates of course;)
Now that was one of the most fun events:) It's a short story of the lion king with the original songs and a huge show of course with a bunch of "special effects";)

Fantasyland is where all the pincess' (that's the castle of the sleeping beauty - the symbol of Disney), Dumbo elephant, Alice from wonderland and Winnie the pooh live. As well as Eyore of course - my favorite sad donkey:)
We tried all kinds of rides. Unfortunately most of them are for smaller kids. It was fun anyway:p Me in Dumbo and Mantas in cups:p Pretending to be scared. Though actually it was quite fun to spin round and round...
At three o'clock every day there's a huge parade:
We watched the best 3D (or should I say 4D as there was also water splashing and wind and stuff). The two fingers by your face is supposed to make you look cutter. No comment there.
I don't have much pictures from the tomorrowland, but it had the best roller-coaster (sp?), when you go up up in the dark and then the stars start to appear and then you go down and down to the sides with horrible speed. Quite an adrenalin!
That's all the Disneyland in the evening... A sweet place...
Even wafles are in shape of Mickey mouse:)
The main street at night. Like from a fairy tale.
And everything ends up with huge fireworks with music... Ech... What a magical day!!!

Lithuanians of HK!!! Andrius - the guy in the middle - lives here already six years. Mantas and Egle - people on the sides are on internship here for a couple of months, and me and Lina were just visiting. Later on we also met two more lithuanians - Sigute, who's a model here, and Giedrius, who happens to be the DJ at the club we went to!!! A club on 28th floor!!! Quite impressive;) Though the music is almost the same as in Tantra:p
There's one area where people gather in the evenings of the weekend. Stevan's dream:p

HK is made up of a bunch of islands. The one you can see in the background is called - HK:p that's supposedly the capital:) That's also where I lived. And this island is something like Kowloon or something similar. And along the coast there's the star's avenue, like in Hollywood:)
The only HK star that I know of:(
HK island at night. Every night there's a light and laser show according to the music. Brought to you by the tourism board. They're doing quite a good job I'd say;)
Some interesting structures:
All sky skrapers are in weird and different shapes. Some are according to feng shui, some are just big, some are just made to look good:)
A park surrounded by cement. Quite a sight!
A very simple, but fun thing - a massage for your feet:)
While Mantas was trying to be in a ballet, my feet were hurting quite a bit:) They say it means that you're sick:(
By the waterfall and inside it:
And just happy Mantas:p
We took a tram up the peek. At some places we were really more than 45 degrees. This picture was taken with the camera standing still on the window:
Ain't that just the way the tram goes down down down down...
And that's HK at night. A very nice view!!!
A lot of lights... and a smog... or just a fog...
Me with the small lion:)
Of course this is not all... but it's a start. I have to go back. It's not easy to fit everything in my small suitcase. I was prepared for 10 degrees as it said it was supposed to be in China... the minimum I experienced though was like 25...
