Hong Kong, Shop till Drop and Eat till You Die

Hong Kong, It is a place that you will never get hungry. I love food, I love eating, and Hong Kong is the place to be.

This city is very lively, every square meters you move, you will meet people. There is almost no empty  space, every where tall buildings. It’s like no other Asian cities that I really need to bend my neck 45 degree to be able to see the top of most of the buildings. I found myself that must be very confusing for me if I have the chance to live in Hong Kong and try to get a flat. Not only the fact that I am not able to read this Chinese character but also there are just buildings every where and apartment blocks that looks alike one to another. Thanks to the courtesy of some friends there, every time I visit Hong Kong always local Hongkese around :).

Flights are operated by about 90 airlines to over 150 cities across the globe. In 2010, HKIA became the busiest airport by cargo traffic in the world. Cathay Pacific based in Hong Kong and one of the best airlines that I have ever flown with. It was great experienced.

As mentioned earlier what to do in Hong Kong are, Shop, Eat and Having Fun. Hong Kong has quiet integrated public transport. The subway connects one part to the other part, Hong Kong Island, new territories and other islands. Public transport is very convenience, hotel and apartment and other development usually provide shuttle bus, most of them for free to the nearest subway station or famous places nearby. Three days usually is the best amount of time to cover Hong Kong.

On your 1st day you, in the morning you can wonder around the harbor front, check around the shop and have lunch in one of the crowd dim sum restaurant. You can take boat tour around the harbor in sunny day. It was really nice experience. In the afternoon, you can carry on to check shopping mall in Hong Kong island and some parks around. Late afternoon, you can head to the Victoria pick, stay there until the twilight. You can see Hong Kong on the day light, when it is changing color and when it is dark. I love being up their.
