Hong Kong (China) 12. October - 16. October
Hong Kong is the biggest city i have been to so far. In some streets your movement is
restricted because off all the people. The subways are sometimes (after working hours etc),
packed with people. Like in Thailand, there are people in the streets trying to sell you
things all the time (Kownloon). Some of the same things but also here they try to sell you
fake things, like copy watches (rollex) etc. The most common question you will be asked are
if you want to buy message, custom tailered suite and the copy watches. Taxies and food is
very cheap in Hong Kong, 15 HKD (around 1,93 USD) dollar for first 2 km then 1.4 HKD every
continuing 0.2 KM. And like everywhere else you can go with traditional asian food or with
western food like burgers and pizza etc. Hong Kong is the only place in the world I have seen
business people sit and have dinner at MacDonalds, in full suit. They were the mayority of the
people in the place. This was downtown Hong Kong or Hong Kong central, in the business center.
There is not much to do in a city but in Hong Kong you can visit one of the parks, temples,
the buddha etc. The zoo in Hong Kong is free, and animals are in cages in a very nice park.
There is also some very impressive architecture in the city. Here are some of the pictures I
got down there:
