Hong Kong
Today is our second day in Hong Kong and right now we're sitting in a smoothie bar at the top of Victoria Peak. It's pretty convenient that they have free Internet with a smoothie purchase.
Victoria Peak rises right out of downtown on Hong Kong island. The view is incredible and we are lucky that today is a clear day. Most of the time Hong Kong is very hazy. To get to the top you could walk, but that would be grueling in the heat. We took the Peak Tram instead. It has been running to the top of the peak for about 100 years now. Later today we are going to meet up with Elise to look at a temple somewhere here in Hong Kong.
Yesterday we checked out Kowloon which is the other major island. It is a lot less western than Central Hong Kong. We looked at the various markets and Marc couldn't resist buying a lot of stuff he doesn't really need at the LOW LOW prices they have here. Now he is going to have to carry it around for the rest of the trip. Sucker. :-)
We also looked at the goldfish market, flower market and the Hong Kong light show. For the light show all the skyscrapers in downtown Hong Kong are light up. It's pretty cool, but the skyline is amazing enough without the lights. Before the show we met up with Justin and Cheland in their hotel for a couple drinks. Tonight we're going to meet up again and check out Hong Kong's night life.
Anyway, that's about it. Tomorrow morning we're catching the ferry to Macau and then we're flying to Hanoi, Vietnam!
