Tiananmen Square 360º

Producer: kristin

Tiananmen Square on a cold December day around New Year's last year. The woman that pops up right next to me towards the end of the clip was trying to sell me a copy of the Little Red Book, right in front of Mao's tomb.

Driving Off the Map

Tue, 17 Oct 2006 23:33:00 GMT

Producer: kristin

Some hairy driving on a secondary road from Ridgecrest, CA to Death Valley, through the uninhabited Panamint Valley. No shoulder, few guardrails, and gorgeous scenery to distract you everywhere - fasten your seatbelts.

On the Street in Causeway Bay

Tue, 17 Oct 2006 23:21:09 GMT

Producer: kristin

Causeway Bay is a maze of back-alley markets, pedestrian streets, and massive, glossy shopping centers, to the east of Central. It always seems to be this crowded, day or night.

Abandoned Wind Farm on the Road to South Point

Tue, 17 Oct 2006 22:45:00 GMT

Producer: kristin

Driving back from the southern tip of Hawaii's big island, the southernmost point in the US, we came across this abandoned field of windmills. Strange, because the area gets so much wind, you think they'd turn (heh) a huge profit. The sky was ominous, and the sound of the blades turning, eerie.
