Hong Kong

I haven't had much time to explore in Hong Kong but here are my first impressions and some pics, overall the city is pretty sweet... modern, never sleeps, clean while maintaining some distinct culture:

- The amount of high rises blows you away... every apartment building is at least 100 floors high. It's like Manhattan on a mountainous island.
- It's frigin hot and humid.... you basically go from 33 degrees and an instant sweat to -30 degrees from the air conditioners in every restaurant and store.
- You can definitely tell the British influence... drive on the wrong side, for a city with no space they still make room for soccer pitches, the bars are ridiculously priced because of the brits no doubt and the whole ex-pat community.
- The transportation system is incredible.... between mini-buses, double deckers, the impeccably clean metro and ferries, you can get anywhere.
- The campus here is sweet - right on the ocean with a pool, track, gym, tennis courts, basketball courts.
