Today is a big day! DP theme day and my first day at the new job in Shanghai!
The theme: What annoys me in my city…well, there’s a list, and on the very top is “air pollution” but since I have posted on this subject a few times, I’ve chosen the second on the list: “too crowded” in most places most of the time. But of course, this is exactly what makes HK a prosperous city…the people, the work hard play hard people and the vitality of people. Well, I might as well tell you about the third item on the list is “Me not in HK anymore”, so there is blank space in this photo! LOL! This photo was taken in Causeway Bay quite a few months ago.
See what are the annoying things in other cities:
Porto (Portugal) -Stayton, OR (USA) -Albuquerque, NM (USA) -Tenerife (Spain) -Greenville, SC (USA) -Dubai (U.A.E.) -Evry (France) -Jakarta (Indonesia) -London (UK) -Sequim, WA (USA) -Buenos Aires, (Argentina) -Seattle, WA (USA) -Minneapolis, MN (USA) -Stavanger (Norway) -Joplin , MO (USA) -Nelson, New Zealand -Milano, Italy -Singapore (KeropokMan) -La Antigua Guatemala (Guatemala) -Nottingham UK -Singapore by Zannnie (Singapore) -Budapest (Hungary) -Not Strictly Seattle, -Bandung (Indonesia) -Vantaa (Finland) -Hyde (UK) -Madrid by Dsole (Spain) -Oulu (Finland) -Saarbr?cken (Germany) -St. Paul [Carol] -Sydney (Australia) -Tokyo (Japan) -Kyoto (Japan) -Trujillo (Peru) -Shanghai (China) -Rotterdam (NL) -Chicago, IL (USA) -Nice, (France) -Naples, Florida (USA) -Hong Kong -Santa Clara, CA (USA) -Quito, Ecuador (South America) -Cottage Grove, MN (USA) -Paris, (France) -Manila (Philippines) -Brussels (Belgium) -Auckland (New Zealand) -Newcastle upon Tyne(England) -

February 1st, 2007, at 11:57 pm #Very funny and very sad photo. I miss you being in Hong Kong as well. Best of luck in your new job and all the adventures Shanghai will bring.
February 2nd, 2007, at 1:40 am #Great photo and great idea too! I’ve never been to HK but I hear that you could also take this same photo at night and there would still be as many people.
February 2nd, 2007, at 3:09 am #Didn’t notice the “blank” space until you mentioned it. Hope Shanghai is treating you well.
February 2nd, 2007, at 3:44 am #That is a lots of people in one place. It remind me a Tokyo.
February 2nd, 2007, at 4:45 am #Lisi, this is too funny! I love the concept of you missing in the crowd.
Congrats on your new job and move to a new city. I hope your transitions all go smoothly and that you find that you love your new surroundings, work, and coworkers. Shanghai is a very dynamic and fast growing place. . .so I hope you don’t miss the HK energy too much. all the best to you!

Hate to burst you bubble, Lisi, but didn’t Jing have the same complaint on her site today? Funny post;-)))
Best of luck in Shanghai!
February 2nd, 2007, at 7:02 am #Wonderful photo - I remember the air pollution every where I went in SE Asia - my throat hurt all the time! How is life in Shanghai so far?

Great way of illustrating your theme!
BTW, her ein Australia you’d be asking “Where’s Wally?”
February 2nd, 2007, at 1:35 pm #Hi all, thanks for the nice comments…
Nathalie, sometimes HKDP is all about humor and a little bit crazy
Ham, you will see it in person one day!
Walter, you are just spoiling me with your compliments…
Jing, thanks for your photo of the underground, I know what to avoid in Shanghai now ;p
Ysengrin, you definitely know how to survive in HK!
Olivier, I couldn’t get on to a lot of DP blogs not because of the firewall but just that it is extremely slow and I don’t have much time to browse, so I’ll visit EDP again soon.
Sophie, as far I see in these 3 days, HK is more crowded than Shanghai, but I guess they are pretty much the same in the underground…
Keropokman, DEFINITELY!
Denton, I will back during Chinese New Year and will take A LOT of photos so…
Felicia, you are right, I could just darken this photo to show you how crowded this same spot could be at night!
Ming, it’s been nice so far
Ben, you’re right, it’s very much like downtown Tokyo as seen in Japanese TV shows
Kim, Shanghai is nice and there’s a part of it that reminds me of downtown San Francisco…maybe I’ll show you some day
Isabella, Jing’s photo is in the underground, so I guess HK is just super crowded on the streets and underground
Jenny, Shanghai is nice and will be even nicer when I move in my apartment this Sunday
Jean, I’m glad you like it, and thanks the the well wishes
Sally, or we can tweak it as “Where’s Sally?”
