Hong Kong
To Hong Kong and back...
Along the way... I had a few hours of personal time on the plane and on the airport express ( to and back ), and because I made it a point not to carry my laptop or work with me, I had the luxury of looking out of the plane's window. Watching the clouds go by and enjoying my book. I had a lot of Celine time while away and the trip was a good break. Away from the everyday hussle and bussle of work.
Hong Kong is the right place to go to find myself. It is a nice blend of east meets west with good temperature. I walk among old antiques shops in little alleys behind the tall commercial buildings. On the busy streets, I see old electric trams along crazy minibus driver that weaves in and out of traffic. People with carts filled with cheap sweaters and t-shirts, parked just outside the biggest neon signboards.
Having old fashion chinese food served in a fast food restaurant style.
Hong Kong is truly East Meets West. It embraces traditional values and cultures in a very modern way.
Besides the usual shopping, I find eating Dim Sum, taking the tram, enjoying the fresh air from the 41st floor ( where I stayed ), waking up for 'Cheong Fan' in the morning a good lifestyle I can get used to. I especially love the quiet moments where I just listen to the massive amount of Cantonese around me, not responding to too many conversations, just taking in the daily' life' of Hong Kong and clicking away with my camera.
Its good I end my vacation with good music right now because tomorrow morning, I go back to my desk and 101 things to do...
