I’m still around, but far too exhausted to go through my pictures and do a write-up of my HK trip yet.  I also still have to update my “things to do in Japan” section!  Perhaps during the long weekend…

One thing I thought I’d quickly put up is a picture I took while in the office in HK (yes, I was also working in HK, not just on vacation!)

no images were found

Yes indeed, that is a 50 billion (50,000,000,000) dollar bill.  50 billion Zimbabwe dollars that is!  At first I thought it was a hoax, just some “funny money”, but a quick Google/Wikipedia search showed that it was in fact quite real, and bills even went as large as 100 trillion dollars.

Further links below for the curious!
