Exhilarating, vibrant, and infectious - that's Hong Kong. Even if the skies were laden with a heavy brown haze and the temps and humidity were climbing, I don't think I'll ever get enough of this fascinating destination. And I'm not even a big shopper! I spent a few weeks there in the summer of '88 and it really hasn't changed all that much - the buildings have just gotten taller, the streets more crowded, and the people wealthier.

Oh boy! Just too much stuff. It is over whelming. I don't think I would care to be in the middle of all that. But I do enjoy looking at the photos from a safe distance.
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic photos. Did you stay at that hourly hotel? LOL
ReplyDeleteI like that stringed red and orange chillis.
The night photos are WOW
Re: The supermarket, the CCTV may have caught the shoppers who didn't pay, but I think they would be too embarrassed to admit it.
ReplyDeleteMy husband loves it too. I wonder if I'll ever get to see it.
