Dinner @ a local road-side food court  

View from my room, accross the river... 

Crossing the Tsing Ma Bridge (1377m), Underneath, the very busy Ma Wan Channel... 

Hum, do each of these flats have broadband ? 

Taxis @ Airport... 

Interesting roadsigns @ Hong Kong...

All captured from within a bus (forgive the reflection) 

Long flight from Qatar to Hong Kong... (flying right over Everest) 

@ Doha, Qatar (Middle East)

Flying with Qatar Airways was quite impressive on 3 aspects: Food, Video On Demand & Cabin Staff. Doha itself is a bit less built-up than Dubai, but same class... (no wonder they are rated 2nd in the world at http://www.worldairlineawards.com/Awards-2006/CabinStaff.htm) 

Autumn is a Photographic wonderland !

 

A Pub in Windsor

Autumn in Windsor (England)

We are enjoying every minute of this British Autumn as in a week we'll be in the Southern Hemisphere (down under) until January '07...  

Happy Guy Fawkes' Day(night) ! 

Congrats Anne & Daniel on the (home)birth of Kezia ! (more pics at www.anoushka.org.uk)

And now they are building the Hydropolis - Dubai (see http://www.designbuild-network.com/projects/Hydropolis/index.html#Hydropolis4 and also http://www.crescent-hydropolis.com/) 

So far, this piece looks like a bone to me... Anyway, it was very cool to see them building this from the plane window. 

This is how they are creating all these islands... Sand is easy to find in a desert ! 

They have this in Mauritius too, but I didn't know it originated from the Middle East. 

Nice selection of nuts... 

Yves, thrilled at the choice of sweets ! 

Downtown Dubai... (During Ramadan)
