Overall we had an enjoyable time in the wax museum. It was one of the must go spots we marked prior to the trip. Luckily we had the tripod as the lighting in the museum was inadequate.

Pic + flash looks fake while pic (without flash) = blurry + crappy. (I *heart* my tripod)

It was actually a great effort by the museum to have the stars in various poses including sitting, hand-shaking, singing, mimicking famous scenes from movies etc etc. The wax figurines were casted in exact heights so it was quite a suprise to see some of them taller/shorter than expected.

I had a wonderful time at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum HK. I'd like to visit the original one in London if I get the chance.

The statues... they're the same as the ones I saw at Singapore once before in the 90s I think. Is there an Arnold statue with arms akimbo?
