Hong Kong is dense! Seriously dense. Upon arriving we looked around Hong Kong and all we could see were thousands of high rise apartment complexes. We stayed inside one of these high rises. We had a little bed and a bathroom, it was very cozy but the perfect size for us. Suzanne, a friend of Jenneli’s, flew over with us to Hong Kong and hosted us. We also got to meet Suzanne’s parents who were incredibly kind and also set us up with the apartment for our 3 day stay.
We arrived in the evening and Suzanne’s mom was kind enough to meet us at the airport and welcome us to Hong Kong. We took a bus from the airport to where we would be staying and met Suzanne’s father. We quickly decided food would be a good start to the stay and a precedent for the days to follow.
We ate at a very popular place that had, of all things, Heineken signs on the walls in Chinese. We ate a lot of different food and had Asahi beer as there was some kind of promotion for it and girls walking a round trying to get people to order it, well that and I like Asahi. I can’t remember all the dishes we tried but we did learn that evening how to each in the local style. Basically you have a little bowl you put the food you want to eat into, then eat out of the little bowl. Sounds weird but it worked great for the food and made using chopsticks that much easier. After dinner we went back to collapse in our room and have a much needed sleep.
