Hong Kong Sights

This really is an incredible city. Tons of action everywhere, and lots to do.
So far I have toured the waterfront, and visited museums of art and space. International flavor to all. In the art exhibit, I saw an entire floor dedicated to works involving human hair. One room had a few hundred pair of children's shoes made out of children's hair. Sort of bizarre, but visually impacting.

Lots of women carry and walk with umbrellas opened, even though it is not raining. You can see many nationalities on every block, and it is not an exaggeration to hear 8 or 9 different languages being spoken in a one block trip. Shopping is key in Hong Kong. While I'm not a huge shopper, I could see the appeal for anyone. Street vendors are peddling everything from fake Rolex's to jade on many sidewalks.

There is also an extreme amount of wealth from what I can observe. One hotel I visited, had only Rolls Royces as their "hotel Cars". The lobby was done completely in decorated marble, and servers are everywhere. The "shops" off the lobby were many names I recognized including Cartier, Rolex, and Versace. Several watches I looked at were over $30,000 USD. I did not buy one.

I really like Hong Kong. Lots of English, and univeral acceptance for all cultures and nationalities. Hustle and Bustle prevalent everywhere.

Due to Chinese influence, I find it amazing that there are "no spitting" signs everywhere. Not that I ever knew that you needed a "no spitting" sign, but apparently it is a big problem with Chinese nationals. The city however, seems remarkably clean and safe, compared to some of the other areas I have been in China.

and they have Starbucks!!!-I had a super grande this morning....Coffee in general in china has not been one of their strong points.
