On my way to Madrid I had a layover in Hong Kong. I decided to check out what I could in the time allotted. Four hours!

Best Actress nominee and presenter Rene Liu surrounded by her stylist and friends before going on stage of the 26th Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony, April 15, 2007. Liu is known to western audience for her sterling performance in such critically acclaimed movies as "Siao Yu", "The Personals", and "Murmur of Youth." She also starred in "20 30 40", "Double Vision", "A World Without Thieves", "Legend of Eileen Chang" and many other films and TV drama series. In this clip, she talks about her agent's new handbag that beeped when she was walking through the door of a store because the salesperson forgot to take out the anti-theft tag. She praises everyone for being sweet and supportive and then pretends to be very nervous. Funny girl. (video made by Rene Liu)

Shanghai, China -- At the Pearl Village Shop, freshwater oysters from China’s Tai Hu Lake are lumped together waiting to be scooped out and opened for the pearls they contain. Cultured pearls are made by inserting pearl beads inside oysters, which the bivalve wraps with a calcium carbonate substance because the abrasive beads irritate then. A shop attendee handpicks about 20 pearls from a freshly opened oyster and gives us some facts about pearls. Video taken by INQUIRER.net multimedia reporter Erika Tapalla.
