Lantau!

I've been to HK a few dozen times over the last two years, and I've never been to Lantau to see the Big Buddha and the Po Lin Monastary. I guess after feeling settled, you don't do those touristy things.

We took the cable car from Tung Chung.

The Big Buddha is the largest bronze buddha in the world (34m). Yes, to be the largest or tallest of anything, one way to do it is to put as many descriptors/adjectives as possible.

It is a small world! Lora Oehlberg (friend from many ME classes) was traveling through China & HK for a conference. She had a friend who put her in touch with Amy Dinh in HK(who lived across the hall from me my senior year at FroSoCo) and told me about Lora's trip. So we spent the day sightseeing and hanging out in HK.
