October 1: National Day Fireworks
While the financial tsunami continues to roar over the world, the Senate is going to vote on the 700 Billion bailout plan, and more and more milk-related food products all over the world are tainted with melamine, Hong Kong is having a small break today with the National Day holiday. This year’s National Day fireworks give a (false?) sense of pride and prosperity before people heading back to work the next day to face with the financial turmoil again. This excerpt of the fireworks (last 5 mins of the fireworks – the most spectacular part) is taken by me outside the Inter Continental Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. Enjoy!
