Pan-Asian Gallivanting

First impressions of this city can only be summed up with these adjectives: efficient, clean, wealthy, vast, aromatic (in a good way) and impressive.

Hong Kong reminds me of a bustling NYC. If only you were to replace the population of NYC with Asians, add a much more efficient and fast subway system, expand chinatown throughout NYC, add thousands upon thousands of neon lights to every possible inch of the city and surround it with mountains then it would resemble Hong Kong.

I could spend so much time here just exploring and eating. But the problem is that Hong Kong is so damn expensive! Well…compared to the rest of Southeast Asia. Prices here are actually quite good if your willing to sleep in a room that resembles your closet and eat at small street vendors.

Unfortunately I can only spend a couple of days here. Once I have my Chinese Visa then I’m off to Yunnan Province where hopefully I won’t fall into any of their notorious squat holes while dropping the kids off at the pool. Until then enjoy the pictures…they speak for themself!
