Hong Kong!

We had to reroute after Japan due to a typhoon so we got to China a few days late. Actually we docked in Hong Kong first. Now THAT is a beautiful city. I never thought I would think a skyline was beautiful but nothing beats the Hong Kong skyline at night. HK is like NYC but on all different little islands and much cleaner. The people are so friendly, there are markets just about everywhere and it is busy all day and all night long. It was nothing like I expected from a big city however. We rode about a half an hour to Stanley Markets and the ride was amazing. We were in the front on the 2 nd level of a double decker bus riding up this huge, windy road and climbing up the side of a mountain. HK has so much greenery and there are even beaches there! When you look out over the edge there were mountains and islands and it was just beautiful. I definitely would like to return to HK one day.

Hong Kong is nutssssssss. Pulling into port you just see miles and miles of ridiculously tall buildings. Its like new york city but all crammed onto these islands. Oh and the people are a lot nicer too. One of the cool things was they use bamboo scaffolding still to work on buildings! Also, we went to Stanley Market which is this really popular market here and the ride up-- so gorgeous. There are beaches and so many mountains and hills everywhere and so much greenery. Its so beautiful youd never guess like 6 million people live there or something ridiculous like that. I had NO IDEA HK looked anything like that. We went to the markets and bought way too much stuff so get excited for xmas presents everybody.
