We took a break from the fast-paced Central district today to explore Lamma, an island where no building is allowed to be over three stories tall and there are no cars. The contrast was immense, it was actually quiet, amazing! We took the ferry to Yung Shue Wan and spent the majority of the day hiking across the island to Sok Kwu Wan.

Today was dominated by our trip to “The Peak” of Hong Kong. And luckily before we left I picked up a wide angle (10-22mm) lens I’ve been drooling at for awhile, it’s fantastic! This blog may just turn into a big photo blog of me learning how to operate new toys…

So the performance today that I haven’t been able to tell anyone about until now, was for MERCEDES BENZ! We did two performances today and what seemed like a billion run-throughs (for the light guys, sound guys, camera guys, client preview, timing, etc) for the unveiling of the C-class automobiles in Hong Kong 
We put an incredible amount of work into this and it definitely paid off. People were blown away, there is hardly any parkour or freerunning in Hong Kong and these VIPs had never seen anything like it before! Our biggest problem was people actually trying to get too close to the performance area where we needed to land (I ended up having to throw some pretty sketchy flips in order to not land on people…) The CEO of Mercedes Benz even came out and thanked us personally afterward, he’s a really nice guy!
I slept in today. I didn’t have to get up at 4am to film fish. I didn’t have to almost die doing a Primal workout. I didn’t have to spend more than half a day in a plane. Today consisted of sleeping, wandering around Hong Kong, eating good food, and meeting the awesome people we are working with to put on this performance, this trip kicks ass! Seriously, we have around 12 days here in HK with about 3-4 of those actually being about work, and *almost* everything is covered by our wonderful hosts
I got some great photos today. Hong Kong surely is an amazing place, Continue Reading »
My computer ran out of batteries last night and I didn’t get an adapter till now. I sounds like we came at a bad time, the pollution is really bad right now and weather is very balmy, it’s like Florida and New York mixed together. I really like it so far though, the building are amazing, they have a lot more character than Tokyo did (read: old) and spaces are more open (compared to Shinjuku at least). The hotel room is quite nice, although the toilet is rather unsatisfying compared to Shinjuku’s 
This place is amazing for parkour! We took a quick walk around last night and there were great spots everywhere it seemed. I’m not sure what the security is like or if they care, but the spaces are absolutely great. Going to go head out now to get some food and see the city some more.
The performance is on the 4th in HK and on the 11th in Macau but I still can’t you all what it is for
I had no idea that was going to take so long! We flew from DC to Seoul on a 15hr flight, waited for 2 hours in the airport, then flew from Seoul to Hong Kong for another 4 hrs. That’s incredible, I can’t believe I made it.
Going to go explore now, I’ll post up some pictures and what I think of the city later tonight.
