Bright lights, big city!
In Hong Kong sensory overload is an understatement! People everywhere, neon signs flashing and smells wafting by as we pass many different eateries. Five days was the perfect amount of time.
Some pics around Hong Kong and its amazing sky line!
We took the ferry over to Lantau so we could see the 'biggest outside sitting buddha' in the world! Jimmer, is this the one you saw?
How would you kill 3 hours in Hong Kong on a Thursday night? We chose to rent a private room at the local Karaoke bar... quite the experience that was!
On our last day in Hong Kong we thought we would spend it at Ocean Park. I coerced Jill to get on one of the roller coasters. She was nervous but agreed, and once the ride was over she was relieved to be off of it. But she took a pic of the pic of us on the roller coaster just in case some of you back home don't believe that she did it! haha Then we saw the aquarium, the dolphin/seal show, went on other rides and then saw Anna and Jai Jai, the two Panda Bears. Can you tell which one is the female?
So that was our 5 days in Hong Kong. It was a great place to visit. Kowloon was a great place to walk around but we would say that Causeway Bay was a much better area to stay. Next... the Middle East!
