just came back from hong kong. was there from last friday to today, 27 feb to 1 march. it was my first time visiting hong kong. went to ocean theme park which was fun, sat the viking, did bungee jumping, took the hot air balloon and sat the cable car as though i have never sat on one before. did some shopping of course. the food there is nice but one can taste that they put quite a lot of msg. ate pork and beef and duck, no chicken and fish. i never knew duck meat was so common in hong kong. oh i tried goose meat too!

hong kong is a tipping country, the tour guide openly asked for hk$50 from every person as the tip for the entire journey.

the people or rather the chinese in hong kong (excluding those there from mainland china) look different from chinese from china, malaysia or singapore. fascinating isnt it? people of the same race but grew up in a different country look different. but i guess only chinese can tell chinese of different nationalities apart. just a side note, i have no idea how taiwanese and people of macau look like.
