Adventures in Hong Kong
In June I spent a few days in Hong Kong. It was my first introduction to Asia, and coming from South Africa it was quite a culture shock. I stayed at a hotel in Kowloon, within easy walking distance to Nathan Road - the main shopping area. I had never seen so many crowds of people, and the noise level and smell of all those different foods was a little overwhelming at first. I visited Victoria Peak and the view from there is spectacular. The high rise buildings live up to their name and are constructed with bamboo scaffolding!! Tiger Balm Gardens is a small, colourful oasis in the midst of all these tall buildings, and Aberdeen Harbour sheds some light on the more traditional way of live of the boat people. Hong Kong is a great city and I hope to return one day. Click here to find out more about Hong Kong For more information e-mail Chris Boecker |
