Tonight was worse than Friday and Saturday, but not as extensive as I had expected. Problems today Sunday limited to Kowloon. Some problems other days in CWB.

Those who are curious what the protests and police actions look like real-time can view streaming video on rthk.hk, the Government broadcaster's website. They have cameramen moving around various spots. HD and sometimes like watching a video game: you have to remind yourself it's real.

EDIT: Police have shot live rounds at protestors this morning Monday at around 8:30am in Sai Wan Ho, a normally quiet area on Eastern Hong Kong Island. News reports say a 21-year old protestor was shot unconscious and is now undergoing surgery.

Quite a lot of delays and disruptions Monday morning on the MTR. It looks like service isn't running on East Rail to the border stations. And Tung Chung Station has been closed since 7:30am, so don't use it to get to or from the airport. Airport Express and buses seem to be running normally.

There are protests throughout the territory this morning. Unusual for a weekday, very unusual starting so early in the day. No sense making further updates: the situation today is just growing worse. It's only noon.

If arriving at the airport today, check carefully both the transport situation and conditions at your destination before heading in.
