Today we went to the Maritime museum in Stanley, on the other side of HK island. It's a great little museum with the history of ships in HK from the Ming dynasty to today. Lots of wonderfully made models of ships from junks to cargo carriers. Also a neat gift shop!
great interactive exhibits there. In one you try and steer a simulated cargo ship. tough job! There's a big lag time in steering. In another you try and tap out morse code messages for various disasters. Get it right and the guy lives; wrong and he dies. I got "fire" but didn't get "overboard." that guy drowned.
by the way, gas is 7.50 US dollars a gallon here. Don't complain, USA!
