Day 1 in Hong Kong

We just finished our first day in Hong Kong. Our flight arrived around 1pm, after getting situated in our fabulous 3.5 star hotel, we left for another extravagant "lazy susan" style lunch generously paid for by Tin Man and his wife. He ordered 55 small portions of food [to split between 13 people], all which was different than anything we've tried thus far + very delicious too. I'm amazed by the variety of food here, everyday I find something totally different to eat when we travel.

From lunch we took the subway to "The Peak." As it says, it is a giant mountain with shops/restaurants at the top that looks over all of Hong Kong Harbor for miles. To get to the top, we took a cable trolley at a 20 degree incline. It was so neat! Similiar to the incline plane in Johnstown, but more like a trolley from San Fran.






We stayed until 9pm, and the view of the city at night was breathtaking. The city was so lit up + the smog seemed to dim slightly. This was our view while sipping 7 dollar martinis, what a life! haha







This is the result of accidentally bumping the camera during a long
exposure... I think it turned out pretty awesome!

Tomorrow we are headed to the PolyU Design show + other adventures I'm sure.


Ps. I saw a Pizza Hut today and I fully intend on splitting and entire pizza with someone before this trip is over! haha
