Mark, Mary Daniel, Lindsey and I went to Hong Kong May 10--19. We had a great trip and saw some amazing things, one of which was not the fish/meat market, which in 90 degree heat did not smell pleasant nor look terribly appetizing. I was completely surprised at the scale and sheer volume of buildings and how clean and tourist-friendly the city turned out to be. It was an interesting mix of British/Chinese culture. The shopping was insane. I'm not talking about having a GAP on every corner . . . this place had a Chanel, Burberry and Louis Vitton on every corner. It was slightly intimidating. Lindsey and I felt like Julia Roberts shopping on Rodeo Drive in Pretty Woman on several occasions. These are really only half of the pictures--I didn't have my camera every day and kept thinking I would get the rest from Lindsey before posting. But that doesn't seem like it's going to happen any time soon. She recently joined the non-paid workforce and I think is getting a taste of 9-5 life. I can't say enough about how clean this place was--hands down, Hong Kong has the nicest public restrooms I have ever been in. I'm sure there is lots more I can say about our trip and I'm sure I'll remember after I post this, but this will have to do for now.
