Harry Potter in IMAX!

When we discovered that The Half-Blood Prince was showing in IMAX here, we decided that it was the perfect opportunity to get our first Hong Kong IMAX experience. It took a few weeks to get tickets (IMAX appears to be extremely popular here, so you must get your tickets well in advance), but today we finally got to go.

Hong Kong has three IMAX theaters, but we chose the one inside MegaBox, a gigantic (19 story!) shopping mall in Kowloon Bay...

My camera's tiny field of view just gets a sliver of this monstrosity

It's like they designed the logo with me in mind!

A labyrinth of criss-crossing escalators connect the floors
(some are express escalators, moving faster and spanning multiple floors)


There's even an ice rink!

...and, of course, our IMAX theater

Shortly after we arrived, we met up with Katherine's brother and his fiancé, slipped in to the theater, and slipped on our 3D glasses...

Only the opening of the film is in 3D, but it was quite an opening!

After thoroughly enjoying another Harry Potter epic, we went to California Pizza Kitchen (not my idea - I swear!). It was the first time we'd ever tried it, even though we've seen it many times before (like, in Ann Arbor), and it was quite delicious. All-in-all a great night out!

You never went to California Pizza Kitchen in A2, really?? Wow! Glad you finally got the experience :) How'd you like HP6? Nancy and I went to see it last weekend... good times!
