When I was leaving Hong Kong, I spotted this Emirates A380-861 [Registration A6-EDI ] at a gate at HKH. While this is the world's largest airliner, it has been nicknamed "The Flying Forehead" due to it's profile when seen from the front.

Apparently, Noodles in China are more talented than I thought according to this sign next to our apartment building!
Actually this is an example of what happens when you use software to do translations. The character incorrectly translated can mean surface [area, deck, apron] or noodle depending on context... so the translation software mis-translated as "Fire fighting Noodles" rather then "Fire fighting (equipment) area".

Given the width of the elevator doors, disallowing cars in the SM Shopping Centre elevator makes a lot of sense!
Another example of "Chinglish" where they meant to say "carts" as in "Shopping carts are not allowed in the elevator".

Be sure to "Carefully slide" proclaims this sign on the gate to our apartment building lobby. What they meant to says was "Slippery when wet"!

I had to travel to Hong Kong on business but landed up being there for New Years Eve. We joined an estimated 1 million people around Victoria Harbour to ring in the new year.
The 3 hours of standing in a packed crowd was well worth it for the 4 minute fireworks show you can see in the video.
Happy New Year!
