Ladies and Gentlemen

Hong Kong was great. I have never been so pleasantly surprised by a destination. We had a handful of things we wanted to do, yet coming and going from those particular events we found tons of other stuff that was awesome. One second you are walking in the middle of huge city with skyscrapers and traffic all around, then half a block away there is a huge park and everything is green and beautiful and quiet, with aviaries, and greenhouses, and ponds, and waterfalls, and lots of other fun stuff to explore. When you come out of that park and you think there will be no more parks you walk another half block along the busy street and there is another one. The harbor and the skyline, day or night, was beautiful. The people were really friendly, there was a lot, a lot of English speakers. If you got lost it was a breeze to find someone who could tell you where you needed to be. There were also a great many signs in English to all kinds of parks and piers and whatnot. All in all fabulous. If you ever get the opportunity you must go.

I have hundreds of pictures on flickr. Check them out.

My last job had the home office in Hong Kong and I always hoped that I'd get to go there on business... but they laid me off instead, hah!

glad you had fun there.. does it make up for shitty Korea?
