Hong Kong appears like a dynamic vibrant city which nevers sleeps (street were just as crowded at 3 am). However there is a big contrast between Hong Kong island or Kowloon, were people really live in a very limited space, and some nearby green and nearly undevelopped island like Lamma which offer a peaceful alternative to the hyperactivity of the rest of the territories.
The weather was really overcast, so we didn't even try to go on top of Vitoria's peak.
Neil trying ot find its way in the crowded streets of Kowloon. Unfortunately, our mandarin lessons were only of very limited use there because they speak cantonese and they use traditional characters (whereas we learn simplified ones)...
They really fight for advertising space everywhere..
