A Word on Hong Kong and Macau:
And so. My 8 days trip has ended and I really enjoyed it. Besides shopping (the clothes are cheap!), we also went around playing tourist. The view from the Star Ferry is awesome! While we were at the Avenue of Stars, we saw Jackie Chan! I think he was filming something for the Olympics. Surprisingly, there was no media around and we got to go quite close to him. The Golden Bauhinia at Wan Chai is Hong Kong’s emblem and this is where the daily flag hoisting ceremony is held. I was excited when I saw a Rolls Royce parked outside the super luxurious Peninsula Hotel. The car is so huge! We went to Ngong Ping where we took a cable car up to see the famous Tian Tan Buddha. This was taken from the cable car when the statue came into view.
People here still lead a very simple life and live on stilted houses. Most of them fish for a living so you can find many seafood restaurants there. 4:43 PM ---------- WELCOME!
