Gweilo is the Cantonise term for foreigners (literally 'ghost man'). And the mist refers to the fact that the peaks are often covered in clouds even when its clear at sea-level.
We had a good demonstration of this today.
The entrance to Parkview (note the portcullis where the driveway goes under the podium! - a thoughtful touch)
Looking up to our building
Hannah playing with the Ipad in our living room this morning. You can just see the opposite towers thought the mist.
The view out the window to the podium.
Parkview from the bus heading up Wong Nai Chung Gap road from Central. Parkview is just visible above the 'V' of the gap. Jardine's Lookout is on the left.
The same view going down to Central in the morning. Parkview is hidden in the mist.
This is a typical view looking across the harbor from ICC towards Hong Kong Island

Zooming in...
.. and you can see Parkview poking out of the mist, on the top of the ridge.
