Hong Kong ... the bling and the traditional
It was always going to be impossible to surpass the experience I had 6 years ago in Hong Kong. I was staying with a friend (from Hong Kong), with her family, during Chinese New Year. I know. Top that.
Instead, I enjoyed it as a tourist. Visited the 10,000 markets in Kowloon, tried to resist the temptation of seeking AC vents (ie. in the tube, in malls, in fast food restaurants...) and embraced the stickyness that makes Hong Kong so special.
I met some lovely girls (from Aus and Ireland) and we explored the city together, even venturing out to the beach for one day.
All in all in was fun and allowed me to slowly get used to the fact that I was now in Asia.
Next stop Hanoi - Vietnam
