BEST OF HONG KONG

Life has been a fastforward-sequence from a romcom these last couple of days. I can't even remember the last time I put up the computer. Thailand? May be. You simply have no time for editing and writing when the scene around you is a technicolour festival.

It's now about two weeks ago we left Thailand to go to Hong Kong. Since then, we haven't had one single island-style day, which might not be so odd since we've entered East Asia, the buzzling euphony of colours, flavours and feasts for every sense.

Our time in Hong Kong has been fast-flying, exciting, wuthering and fantastic. Being such an expesive vacation-place, my wallet is glad we did not stay longer, but my heart sure is crying.

The area in which we stayed, Sai Ying Pun. 

From what we saw, it was mostly sixhundred stores 

selling exactly the same dried fish and vegetables. 

The smell was not merciful. 

And we're still brought up next to the ocean so we should be hardened, but alas. 

Day 1, Victoria Peak was on our itinerary so we took a tram  to Central and walked upwards. 

Up to the peak we go (by tram).

After a tramride in a sharp slope along with about seven million other tourists, we entered a mall in the area for the peak, in which they, among many other things (like a small market and a Hard Rock Café shop, yaay!), had put up a mini-trickeye museum.

We enjoyed it for a while but having already been to one, you kinda already gotten the fun of it. 

It does look suuuuper real though, right...

Nah, I didn't think so either.

The view was to die for. Seriously. Well you can see for yourselves. 

Julia cared more about the other viewers than the actual skyline, it seems. I had to stop her so she didn't kidnapped the poor kid. 

Sharp light! 

After a fika, we took the tram down again and started wandering around in the neighbournhood. Soon, we happened upon an extensive shopping street and stayed there for a while. Everywhere we go, the building grew like mountains above our head.

Hong Kong has a way of making you wideeyed and at the same time, make you feel like an ant in a big big world.

My hair was on point that day. Yes, I said it.

Some  equivalent to the many "hole-in-the-wall"-places we tried in Thailand. This had food with flavours out of this world. Which it feels like, being here.

The next day we went to a scenic spot in Quarry Bay - yes, just to take pictures. I'm glad we did. Some people had gotten the hang of the place since it's now one of the most instagrammed backdrops in Hong Kong, but we didn't have to fight of people to get the shot. It was very inspiring though, the massive jungle of windows and concrete.

The rest of the day was spent in Macau which you can read about

The third and last day we excursiated to Lantau Island to see the Big Buddha. 

But first, lunch stop. 

UDON NOODLES IS MY BIGGEST LOVE IN THE WORLD AND THESE ONES WAS ESPECIALLY DELICIOUS. 

After taking a local bus instead of the expensive cable car, we was greated by these beautiful creatures.

Oh yeah, so there was a buddha there as well.

The view left nothing to wish for.

The last day was also the day we flew onwards to Shanghai, but that is another story for another post...

I ate/drank a marvelous frappuccino with strawberries and cream and more cream at the airport and found a Disneystore, so yeah, life was pretty much perfect.

THAT WAS ABOUT IT ABOUT THAT.
