The thing I've found about Hong Kong proper is that it's a really nice city, but the country side is amazing. Every day we've gone out and wandered the city streets, and on most days at some point we end up just outside the city looking in, at the spectacular views of the city. While the people have been friendly, and there have been some great sites, this is truly a city that's great to look at. From up in the mountains, or across bodies of water, it's just a good looking city from a distance.
Culturally it's a really strange place. I'm having a hard time finding it's unique qualities, the thing that makes it Hong Kong. I'm finding a bit of British, American, and Japanese, with a blanket of Chinese, but nothing really uniquely Hong Kong.
I can say is the people here are so genuinely nice, and so happy to teach us a few words of Chinese when we ask. Tonight we may try to visit a night market, or if the rain keeps up we'll just hit the sack a little early.
It still feels like we'll get on a plane and be headed back to Ottawa, but that's not going to happen. The good news is I'm getting into the Asian grove, I'll need that for later.
P.S. we've been eating at McDonald's a lot lately, probably because we know that there isn't any in Cambodia.
