OTOH, if you want movie connections, the Tsing Yi Bridge's greatest moment on film might well have been in "Heroic Duo"... ;bYTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-35327731526255418332008-10-21T01:03:00.000+08:002008-10-21T01:03:00.000+08:00Wow, exactly that bridge shot was in Exiled, am I ...Wow, exactly that bridge shot was in Exiled, am I right?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718673416960587238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-8882135092498679132008-10-18T11:06:00.000+08:002008-10-18T11:06:00.000+08:00Hi Willow --My sentiments exactly! :)Hi Willow --<BR/><BR/>My sentiments exactly! :)YTSLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930487923185001591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3289278000277019122.post-14048623231264526102008-10-18T10:25:00.000+08:002008-10-18T10:25:00.000+08:00I like to sit upstairs on those double-decker buse...I like to sit upstairs on those double-decker buses wherever they're available when I'm traveling.

I've always loved the lines of a gasometer, though most people think I'm mad! We don't have ant locally, and I kind of miss them. The bridge shot is great, too. It's nice to see a bus-eye view like this.Dragonstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935435587527038459noreply@blogger.com
