Hong Kong

Hi! So we are in Hong Kong right now and hurray for internet! It’s a bit slow here but it’s better than nothing (ie. in Malaysia, oh how I suffered).

The last days of Malaysia were spent between doing nothing at home and eating out with relatives again. Said goodbye at the airport and went to Singapore again for the night. The next morning landed in HK.

Hong Kong is sort of what I expected. The apartment that we’re staying in is in the Kowloon district which is apparently the most densely populated place. It seems a bit like Las Vegas because everything is so crowded. There are a ton of people here, the buildings are also really tall and on the streets you’ll find lots of those neon signs. The heat here is about the same as Malaysia (about 35 degrees C) but the air con is much more extreme. You’d need a light jacket indoors.

The food here is really good too, and I feel like I’m repeating myself but really, it’s much better than back home.

I checked out the malls here and in comparison with Malaysia, the clothes here are just as cheap but the style is much more varied. In Malaysia, everything there was either frilly, lacy, with pearls or pink. I kid you not, it was hard to find something that wasn’t girly there.

I’m finally doing research on HK and there seems to be lots of places to visit while here!
