So for those of you who didn't get the full effect of HK's spectacular light show from just a photo, don't you worry. We stopped by last night again, and I videoed it with our ultra fancy video camera (on our point and shoot). The clip is rather long so feel free to just watch a portion, but I'm pretty sure you'll get the idea of this Disneyesque light show from even 30 seconds.
Note that the lights on the buildings as well as the laser lights on the top of the buildings are coordinated with the awesome soundtrack. And what you don't hear is the script at the first, which is of course in British English (if its in English here, it has an accent), reminding you that the Symphony of Lights (creative name, right?) is the "World's Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show," as "awarded" by Guinness World Records. Wow. I have to wonder if it's the world's only large permanent light and sound show. And what's really ironic is that there are reminders all over town of how important it is to save energy - turn off lights, out of service elevators for the summer. I'm pretty sure they need us to save energy so they have enough for this extravaganza.
Also, don't mind our muttering - who knew the baby camera could pick up so much sound? And don't forget to watch for the boats cruising through the show (they start at about 1:20). I like the one that just parks it right in the middle (at about 3:25). Also of note: the rogue green laser coming from the right - it's coming from within the buildings instead of on top (3:00). And don't miss the grand finale, from about 5:20 to the end. Pretty freaking rad.
And by the way, this show is 20 minutes of light flashing awesomeness. I know, you wish I had filmed all of it.

I had almost forgotten how entertaining it was to be around you two until I read the blog again. It all came back. We miss have you two around here in Durham, but it looks like you're enjoying Asia.
On another note, have Jess check his facebook for a message about the apartment... no, it wasn't quite broken into... hahaha, just kidding just a notice from the office that needs to be addressed.
