As with all places one visits, comes the question, “Could I live here?” Manali and I have asked ourselves this question over and over, but we finally and excitedly said “YES!” to Hong Kong. Have you been to New York? Or perhaps Beijing? Hong Kong is sort of a mix between the two. Driven by [...]

Hong Kong | China: Symphony Of Lights
An absolute must see and do when you come to Hong Kong, is for sure the “Symphony of Lights”. We happened to go for two nights, as we enjoyed it so thoroughly the first time. Once the sun has tucked itself in quite proper, and the hour reaches 8 o’clock, a cacophony of sounds and [...]
Hong Kong | China: Tai O Fishing Village
Earlier in the day we visited the Tian Tan Buddha, and couldn’t leave the area without a glimpse of Tai O Fishing Village. There is nothing completely interesting about this place aside from its somewhat unique location and architecture. The little village is located right on the water, with mountains looming closely behind to create [...]
Hong Kong | China: Victoria Peak
Tonight we rode to the top of Victoria Peak. The Peak, as locals know it, offers some of the most stunning views of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and Victoria Harbor. Like many things in China, even in Hong Kong, the tourist hoards are ever present, so there was a lot of patience involved.
The Peak Tram [...]
Hong Kong | China: Tian Tan Buddha
Today, we sought out a little spirituality. We don’t do it enough, but in whatever form it may come, taking time to reflect, particularly in extraordinary spiritual places provides a wonderfully cathartic experience.
We are staying in the famed Chunking Mansions in Kowloon, immediately opposite of Hong Kong Island, which is pretty much the heart [...]
Hong Kong | China: Hong Kong Currency Is Art!
If there were a contest for the coolest currency in the world, and perhaps the one you would most likely keep just to look at later, it would definitely be Hong Kong’s. Isn’t it neat? Another interesting note is that the private banks also issue money here, hence the logos. We LOVE our Hong Kong [...]
Hong Kong | China: Mid Autumn Festival
One of the most important holidays on the Chinese Calendar, is a celebration dating back 3,000 years, when a gentleman named Chang’e was lifted up to the moon. We’re guessing he was consequently worshiped. This time of the year, the moon is at its fullest and brightest, so China continues to celebrate. This is also [...]
Hong Kong | China: Loving it!
Just arrived, but feel the electricity of this city buzzing through us, propelling us and giving us a bit of city excitement we haven’t felt probably since Tokyo. Hong Kong is like a merge of Tokyo and Beijing, with a little bit of New York thrown in for attitude. More later!
