So, I landed Sunday afternoon in Hong Kong. First impressions:
:: Cool landscape! water, rocky hills, warm
:: Clean! Boy do they know clean here. They don't mess around about clean. All the public places are clean, clean, clean. In fact, when I put my soda can down to take a picture on a foot bridge, people stared at the lone soda can. Also, they have hefty fines for not picking up after your dog. They even have dog latrines!
:: Cheap! At 12.6 HK$ to every US$, you can get by pretty well without too much outlay. Sure, you can buy things that are comparably priced, but overall, cheap cheap cheap
:: Excellent signage! It's hard to get lost in HK, at least the places I have been so far. There are street signs and directional signs for all sorts of landmarks ev-er-y-where.
They also have tons of covered walkways so (a) you don't have to risk your life as often crossing major roads, and (b) even when it is raining you can get around without getting totally soaked.
Can you tell I love this place so far?
