Hong Kong is a bustling little hub of millions of people, huge buildings, Mc Cafe's (Mc Donald's), Chinese medicine shops, and food. First three days in Hong Kong consisted of getting over our jet-lag, eating noodles for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and avoiding Indian men trying to sell us suits at a "good price". Hong Kongers are really helpful and most of them speak English and so therefore they were good people. They love their cell phones, Rolex watches and designer goods. Hong Kong was all about the skyscrapers and the shopping. Needless to say, being on a tight budget and not being about shop was a difficult test of restraint. Overall Hong Kong was a great place to begin out trip and ease into our big bad Chinese experience.
While eating breakfast on the last day half way thru my noodle soup I was handed a fork by the waitress apparently my chopstick skills need some polishing. Luckily we have a few more weeks for me to become a chopstick professional and learn some fricking chinese, because from here on out the people don't speak our language.
