Back From Hong Kong


Was in Hong Kong for 10 days last month for a few reasons. Business, leisure, etc. The usual. We try to pack a few things into our travel whenever we go abroad. This time was no different.

But the best part is always the food. This is my 3rd time to HK - strangely the country grows on you. Nic and I like the weather though at times it gets to me. Like this time around, we were there late March and while it seemed like spring, to me a tropical girl, it was mighty chilly at 14 C. Yes, I know. To most of you, 14 C is not a problem. For me it was way too chilly. All my limbs were cold. I only took one shower a day (in Penang, I take showers at least 2 times a day and more if the weather's overly warm!).

Anyway, I did a great many things while in HK.

Will write more!

Hi: One thing you may have noticed about HK restaurants is that they distinguish between Cantonese and Chine regional food though one may say they are all Chinese. If you may have walked through Kowloon City, you may have noticed that they look more like Oxford eateries in Londona and the Starstreet Precinct area more like China Town in LA.

But all things been equal, HK is still a expensive city in terms of food. Been of a Mediterranean background, we mostly shop for groceries which tend to be priced higher there and eat light lunch at one and half the regular price at home.

All said it is a city or country so cosmopolitan you never missed your home too much.

So jealous!! I lived there for two years, all over the New Territories, and you're right - it does grow on you. Heh.

Glad you had fun!
