I spent the July 27 weekend in Hong Kong and it was quite memorable. First, because it was my newly-minted Samsung Galaxy Mega's baptism of fire. Was certainly glad to be using the phone's 6.3 inch super clear LCD screen to capture these stunning views of the HK skyline, Victoria Harbour and outlying islands.
