My newest motto would be "it's better late than never". I have been to Hongkong 4 years ago, my first taste of another country where I came as a tourist. Looking back I have become a wiser more sophisticated traveller. The reason I said that is when we went to Hongkong I did not research about the weather of the country so we ended up going there at the peak of summer where humidity and heat could just wipe you of your strength. It was almost unbearable, that Joel started taking of his shirt while walking on the streets of Hongkong. But overall our trip was fun, shopping was great and it kinda like slowly started sinking in to my mind that I am gonna have a great life waiting ahead of me.
We stayed at the City Garden in Hongkong Island. We never wasted a day not exploring a single tourist attraction. We even went for a tour to see the fishing village, Stanley market, Kowloon and other places that was included in the itinerary. I have actually gone back to Hongkong this year because we really wanted to see Hongkong again at it's best season (spring) and we also realized we missed one major tourist attraction in Lantau Island.
I enjoyed eating in different restaurant every night and just walking along one of the major shopping district in the island where the theme was " shop 'till you drop". I was so amazed people still shop for all sorts of goodies from souvenir, clothing, shoes and whole array of things until 1am. I guess thats why people call Hongkong as one of the worlds shopping mecca. I would love to go to Hongkong for the 3rd time if given the chance but for now Hongkong will remain a favorite of mine.
