Hong Kong the food/shopping paradise ok im back from my escapade, the last before i go through the fiery pits of mordor. one ring to rule them a...... anyway, it was FANTASTIC ! ok i luv hong kong. i had great food like har gao and the real wanton ( filled wif 2 fresh crunchy prawns like CJ prawns) and roast meat (a hundred times nicer then any singapore roast meat) and smelly TOFU! the smelly tofu just roxs, i could smell it from like a street away. its fragrant aroma is not too pleasing to some but it smells like roses to me! haha it taste fantastic: crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside ! dipped in chill sauce and it brings you to paradise. food aside, hongkong is one high tech city too. it had ezlink cards way before we did. they had tv in buses before us too. o and the pedestrain traffic lights can be activated by a sensor when u hover your hand on it. neat huh. its a cool place to be except for the limited land space. i always thought singapore had limited land space and the gov's been saying theres not much land in singapore and they do all the reclaimation and stuff. but hongkong is in a much worse situation then us. all their flats are minimum 40 storey's high. these towering flats house lots and lots of apartments that's sooo small. each apartment is only 300-500sqft. compared to singapore's 5 room flat of 1,400sqft. their rooms are as big as our toliet and they dont have much or any rooms at all. its crazy. and their parking is even crazier, 7k-9k a month and that's like 1.5k to 2k sing. crazy stuff. ok i can't bring you to hongkong but i can bring hong kong to you ! here are some pics you might find interesting!
