Hello again!
I've been back in Hong Kong for a month now and I can confirm that I love living here. The city has become small and cosy in many ways but still captures my attention with all its sights, smells and spectaular array of things to do.
Some highlights:
* Climbing to the Peak along the Old Tramway route and doing Hong Kong trail part 1
* Trying new cocktail hangouts with friends and on our own.
- 001, a New York style speakeasy that is hidden away in Central
- California Vintage in Wan Chai
- Hyatt Hotel in TST (K11 Mall)
and finding some new places to eat, high point was Sushi at Sushi Shin - so yum!
* Exploring the markets! Sham Shui Po, Mong Kok, Causeway Bay even and the great Shopping Mall displays.
* And of course Chinese New Year celebrations have been exhilarating The New Year started started Sunday 10 Feb, and festivities roughly ends 21 Feb. During that time you can find numerous opportunities to join in the fun: Lion Dances, Bamboo Theaters, street parades, fireworks and dragon mimes. Lots of free entertainment walking around this week. =D
This is the first month in over two years that I haven't travelled, but no need, the tourists come here for this :-)

ReplyDeleteYour climb along the Old Tramway Route sounds wonderful.
