The buliding in the front is the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank Building (yes, HSBC stands for Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation), Hong Kong’s first great modern skyscraper; rising behind it is IFC 2, an 88-story tower that, with those white prongs at the top, kinda looks like a sandworm from the planet Arrakis. OK, so maybe it’s just me.

Someone's got penises on the brain.

Are those cannons?!

I believe that would be Hong Kong's first great postmodern skyscaper, actually. It's just a shame that they had to tear down such a beautiful art deco building in order to put up this one.

Why, Belle, sometimes a sandworm from the planet Arrakis is just a sandworm from the planet Arrakis.
