The Hong Kong Dream
Filed under Asia, China | Leave a Comment
I know I know, this has taken me awhile to post, but that’s just the way it goes okay?!!?
Having survived the miserable (with a cold) flight from Johannesburg I was blown away by the sight of Hong Kong-even from the plane!! I was expecting a culture shock and it certainly hit me! I made my way from the airport to the YWCA in the Kowloon area. As I paused to check on the map if I was walking in the right direction, a local decided to look over my shoulder. He figured it would be best if he walked me there as much as I insisted it wasn’t necessary. So we talked with theatrical hand gestures along the way, and finally after12 blocks we were at the front door. He wished me good fortune in his beautiful city and began running back to his starting point-he only had a 30 minute lunch break after all! What a great welcome for me into this city!! I all ready began to regret scheduling only 4 days here to explore!!
