What a concert they put on for the fans in Hong Kong!!! This was the first time Coldplay had played there, and they really made their fans felt welcome by adding Hong Kong in some of their lyrics during the show. For ex. during "What If", Chris sang: "make you feel like i belong.....in Hong Kong...." That made the show for me personally. I was lucky enough to get a ticket first row on the floor, and when Chris ran by us in the crowd, i was able to give him a little tap on the shoulder. During the break, Will came out to the front of the stage and took pictures of the crowd, and of course, a picture of me!

 

Johnny and Guy were pretty calm during the show, but they still managed to make the girls scream by just doing what they do best. Chris also told us that he "broke the law" in Hong Kong. He told the crowd a story about him relaxing on the beach in Deep Water Bay. And he was walked into the washroom, he saw a sign that said: "Please do not bring your video-cam and your camera into the washroom, this violates the HK law of....." And of course Chris being quite the funny guy himself brought his camera in and "broke the law". He seemed quite pleased with himself. The show itself was amazing, but the only downside for me personally was that you were not allow to bring any kind of beverage in. I had to finish my beer outside before the show, and needless to say, i almost wet my pants while jumping with the crowd during songs like: In My Place, Politik and etc.

I recorded that song (Til Kingdom Come) on my phone. I'll try and upload it somehow, but have no clue how to do it! But was funny that they went to Deep Water Bay of all places. And to Lamma island for seafood. And the Peak. All places that I go to ... alas didn't see them out and about. BUt the show was brilliant!
