Hong Kong

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.

Stanley and its markets...








Typical window views...

The bird market...

Sign and shopping mania...

I "heart" Hong Kong! Next stop: Shanghai.
