My first day in HK |
| |
I made it to Hong Kong by air successfully. Once I arrived at the airport, got my stuff, and entered the terminal, I bought myself an Octopus card (a declining balance card for all Hong Kong public transportation), and headed outside. Let me tell you about the outside—well, it |

The Mid-Autumn Festival |
| |
For my second day in Hong Kong, I once again explored my neighborhood in the morning, only the other half, and I found tons of other great things. I love the fact that there are playgrounds on nearly every street corner, and I especially love the welcoming nature of the |

Oh so many libraries, oh so little time |
| |
From my last few weeks in Hong Kong, I can definitely say that their government has the place run very orderly and very efficiently. I am not sure yet if this is more of a British influence or of a Chinese influence, but either way, I am definitely liking this |

Hong Kong Cuisine |
