After 12 hours in Hong Kong the jet lag has settled in. We gently enjoyed some amazing seafood caught in a bucket down the road and prepared by Diana’s mum. Diana has a network of hospitable family here and I quickly feel at home. The incredible human density of the city is offset by deserted islands and green.
We were welcomed at 6am with a beautiful Sunrise over Hong Kong Harbour
We brunched on the peak then took in the view
I'm finding Hong Kong is a very dog friendly place
and cat friendly even to unfriendly looking cats
We did a bit of acro
for an unimpressed audience of turtles
This 1800s cameras would not be effective at capturing licence plates of moving vehicles
Hong Kong has effective pedestrian traffic control which has created a intelligent hive mind
Banboo Scaffolding concerns me because Pandas
Live things prepared while you wait
Hong Kong drives on the left, walks on the left, but stands on the right on escalators
We found Positive Graffiti
Mosaics Graffiti
Knitting Graffiti
and more Knitting Graffiti
Fuel is expensive and Teslas are common
Finishing the day with a beautiful Sunset over Hong Kong Harbour
And as the sun fades the LEDs rise creating a beautiful Lightrise over Hong Kong Harbour
What we've explored so far
