just came back from dubai where jim and i spent the week staying with my friend kim and her excellent flatmates. we did loads of stuff, desert safari (check out the video of our driver babylon below), we went quad biking, got lost in the sand dunes and managed to sink kim’s 4×4 amongst other things. more photos will appear as they work their way through photoshop. stay tuned…

thanks kim

…make sure you know exactly what it is you’re going to be doing. this weekend was the o2 festival in hyde park. faithless, daft punk and many others made for an excellent show but it was all overshadowed by my sisters boyfriend andy and i, playing british guards outside miller’s vip area. two of the photos below show me being interviewed for mtv switzerland where i could only communicate by blinking.

i’ll try and clean up a few of my pictures of the actual concert but here are a few of us at the gig

…much like any other in central London.

i’ve just come back from an excellent vacation in hong kong. i stayed with a friend’s family who were enormously generous to me and made sure i saw far more than a normal tourist would. there are quite a few pictures hence i’ve broken it into three posts so i can write what they are.

this set starts out with boats heading for hong kong harbour taken from where i was staying in 數碼港 (cyberport).
next up are night shots of the skyline. new york really has nothing on hong kong in this respect…
the remainder of the pictures are from a day visit to 長洲 (cheung chau), a small island twenty minutes on a ferry from hong kong harbour. the difference between the bustling city of 中環 (central hong kong) and this incredibly relaxed calm island is huge…
