Snapshots from Hong Kong


I have finally been able to sort through my photos from the five days I spent in Hong Kong in May - my first trip to Asia and quite an eye-opening experience! The city is alive 24 hours a day with locals selling cheaply made goods and cafes that serve steaming bowls of noodles in broth into the wee hours of the morning. If you need a goldfish you'll find thousands at the goldfish market; some antiques head to Hollywood Road in Central; your future interpreted by one of 50+ fortune tellers awaiting business in stalls behind the Wong Tai Sin Temple. Humid, bright lights, and stuff packed into every nook and cranny of this bustling city; this, to me, is Hong Kong.
