Going Places

This week I've been on every type of public transportation. I have ridden on subways, minibuses, double decker buses, shuttle buses, trams, trains, light rail, private chartered buses, taxies, and of course my poor feet. I've been to many interesting, and not so interesting (sigh) places. 

 

The first interesting place I went to is a funeral/cremation. The funeral service wasn't too interesting because it was in Cantonese. But the cremation was kind of cool because I've never seen one before. They burned the body and the casket. 

One of the other interesting things I did was take a double decker tram to the main Hong Kong library. Here is a picture of a tram. You can see it in the background.

This is a picture of the inside of a tram:

 Here are some pictures from the tram:

The library is awesome! It is eight stories high. The main reason I like it is because it has an English section. There are lots of books there. Its so huge it has its own regular sized restaurant. I think it is the best library in the world! One funny thing is that I was the only kid there not in an uncomfortable school uniform.  The downside is that it takes an hour to get there and you can only rent five books per card.  

  Here is a picture of the front of the library: 

(did you spot the skateboards in some of these pictures?)

See you later.
