HK Day 3- SCAD, HK Uni, Ladies Street Sunday, November 7, 2010

Day 3. Lovely SCAD. Apparently the HK government gave them the old Kowloon Magistrate building to open their school.
Building was still under construction with only less than 10 classes going on. We had to go through the side door.
Mountains and hills all over Hong Kong.
Darren.
Admissions officer briefing and welcoming us.
They preserved all the marble walls and signs.
Oooh.
Students lounge area.
Their printing room.
Our guide explaining the importance of students knowing how to make large prints.
They have an actual dark room.
With lights on. Facinating, never seen one of these in real life. Nowadays everything is digital =(
Machine to "project" images on the paper. I didnt really understand the process of what happened.
Photography class room.
Building's architechture.

Since the school just opened, many of their other campus students transferred here. Still, not many.
A class we visited.
Painting class.
Ok i only took this pic because the guy is cute.
Stock motion room. Its in "cubicles" so students can film their individual mini stock motions.
Emo picture of Jaslyn.
Gahhh. Blur picture of guide talking.
More court-like pictures.
Peeking in. They preserved most of the unique halls.
Green screen room puts ours to shame.
We entered the court room for our briefing and watch some students work.
We were invited to enter whats behind the witness's stand.
Going downstairs.
I was thinking, they didnt even let the prisoners kill themselves hence the bars. I could be worng.
Holding cells.
Which are now study areas and some are display areas.
They maintained one holding cell with its original prison-ness.
Everyone so facinated.
Left SCAD for lunch after that. Calissa's dont take pics of me face.
Javeus, Melissa, Yamuna
We then went to University of Hong Kong for a talk by WowWowTank Productions. The guy in the skeleton is one of the lecturers or admin for the school. We had the talk alongside some HKU students.
That night we went to Ladies Street. So many cheap things and overexcitable shopkeepers.
The place sorta looks like this. [Picture credits to someone on Google Images]

Bought this dress and these boots and alot of other things.
Concludes Day 3 of my trip.
I'm blogging too slow for my liking, apologies.

Love,
Me

HK Day 2- Museums, Imagi Studios, Victoria Peak Friday, November 5, 2010

Day 2 HK.
Woke up as usual around 7. Had hotel breakfast.

Janielson's always ever ready to take pictures.Went to this Hong Kong version of Hollywood walk of stars called Avenue of Stars which had this museum nearby. We didnt go in though.
Giant statue version of Hong Kong Film Award throphy.Weather was abit depressing with CONSTANT drizzle. Doesnt even become a full fledge rain or stop at all. Just drizzle drizzle and gets in your eyes.After this my battery started to die so during the HongKong Museum of History i couldnt take any pictures. Its all with Calissa who's currently holding the pictures hostage. Its directly opposite HK's Museum of Science but we didnt go there as we had to rush for lunch then to studio visiting!

Later that day, Imagi Studios! People who brought you AstroBoy and TMNTurtles.


Studio Corridor
Javeus refused to let me take a picture with the logo.
Later that night, Victoria Peak!
It was super cold and the winds could blow you away. The tram that brought us up was almost vertical!
Couldnt take a proper picture cuz either i couldnt stand still or the camera person couldnt hold still.

Thats all for HK Day 2. Cant believe i left this is Draft for so long. Should really get my head in line soon.
