Hong Kong

The first stop on our big China trip was a day in Hong Kong. As usual, we focused on food and we were not disappointed.

Our first stop was to check out a street market.

After the market we met up with Keith and tried to go to this dim sum place. It recently earned three stars in the Michelin guide and it is extremely popular and extremely small. Since the wait was going to be about nine hours we decide to go elsewhere.

We took the star ferry as any good tourist should.

And we took an open top bus tour through the city. Unfortunately the audio system on the bus wasn’t working so we didn’t learn anything on the tour.

The density of the city is impressive especially since it is built on a hill.

This is the escalator street.

Our fearless guide for the day, Keith.

I really enjoyed Hong Kong. The city has a very vibrant and international feeling to it.
