Hong Kong and China

A Week in Hong Kong and China
T
he week in Hong Kong and China flew by really quickly. We spent the first 2 days in Hong Kong, went to China for 3, and came back for 2 more days before we flew back to Tokyo.

We stayed with some family friends, who were nice enough to show us around the area. I think the one thing that Thomas and I couldn’t get over was how cheap the food was. To put it into perspective, we went dim sum (or yum cha) and spent only $15 US. This is getting food for 4 people, where in the states $15 only gets you at most 4 little dishes. I think it would be very easy to overeat here, especially with the food so good.

So other then eating, we did some site-seeing, saw the Dark Knight, took a ferry across the harbor and went up to Victoria’s peak. This is the highest point/area in Hong Kong and it overlooks the ocean and the city. We went up at night so we saw the sun set and got a gorgeous view of the city and it’s lights.
