The NYC of the East








Take NYC, dip it in soy sauce, sprinkle it with sesame seeds and there you have HK...to be eaten with chopsticks. Love at first sight!








Hong Kong seems to have it all. Trendy restaurants and bars, slighty dirty but yum local eateries...







...a Chanel store on every corner, fake Louis Vuitton bags on every night market...










...skyscrapers and traditional stilt houses...








...a river and beaches, ferries, trams and taxis...







...Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, a jungle with poisonous snakes and beautiful public parks to relax...




...Jaap van Zweden and Chinese opera, horse racing and tai chi...







...modern malls selling delicate chocolates and delicious sushi and outdoor markets bursting with vegetables, fruit, meat and seafood...










The population is a mix of locals, (illegal) Chinese immigrants and expats. The difference with Delhi and Mumbai is striking. No honking, no cows or cow poop and no annoying touts. Everything is well organized and the people are friendly and helpful. Perfection!
