Hong Kong

     My impressions of Hong Kong are clouded by several things.  I was only there for 4 days, the temperature and the humidity were in the 90's and the nights, cloudy.  What I saw was an incredible quantity of People, High End Stores and Restaurants. If you know me, you know I have no problem with the last item!  We had great food at every meal.  

 Arriving on The Silver Shadow

 

Our Hotel The Langham, Hong Kong ~

Any food you could want ~ Even a New York Deli or  Boston Steak and Seafood

 And the old becomes New. Look at the facelift the old apartment is getting.

The underground walkway system is quite extensive doing away with crosswalks at most intersections.

There are many people on the sidewalks, night and day.

  The shopping is either very high end or touristy.

 

The Hong Kong Harbor light show is more technical, more intricate than Singapore's.

This restaurant (which we visited twice) was recommended by our Concierge as "authentic." No English spoken, we were the only "round eyes" there and if the menu didn't have pictures, we would have starved!

Worth the wait ~ Peking Duck!

This presentation began with a pile of dough he pounded and kneaded. With no tools (I saw) he transformed this into lots of noodles!  Almost magic!
