Hong Kong, city of tall buildings. At least that's how I would describe it. You'd be hard pressed to find a building less than 10 stories tall and I suspect the average height is higher. Maybe I missed some suburb area with single story houses but as far as I could tell there is no such area. It's all tall buildings.

I saw pictures of the new Airbus super airplane, the A380, on the Japanese news today. They have bed like seats, workstations with built in computers and of course a lounge and bar and duty free store. Unfortunately there are not lots of pictures on their website but there are a few here

Disney Sea is about to open in Japan. It's a new theme park right next to Tokyo Disneyland. It will probably be unreasonably crowded when it opens but I can hope as it will be off season and if I play hooky from school and go on a weekday maybe it won't be so bad because as a Disneyland fan I have to check it out. I wonder if I can get someone to go with me.

They have a few attractions including the Indiana Jones ride slightly upgraded from the Anaheim version as well as a submarine ride with small 20000 Leagues Under the Sea type subs in a Little Mermaid world. There's also a giant simulator ride like Star Tours but this one holds like 4 times the people.

Well I had my doubts that California Adventure, the new Disneyland park in Anaheim, was going to be any good but my friends went and it sounds pretty excellent.  You can read the review here.  Unfortunately I expect it will be PACKED for a couple of years.

I went to Boston at the beginning of September to visit my friend Scott
