Hong Kong rocks

Back from 4 days in Hong Kong ... and honestly my feelings about it are mitigate:

Very impressive, the view from the plane was "awesome" ;) (no be really!!), high buildings are just cool, the mix of chinese and european culture is funny and makes the city definitely unique, the city and the people are rather fashion and take care of how they look ... but not as much as I would have expected! In fact, I was told that the city was very rich, with only beautiful cars and great buildings, it is definitely not true! But that's also what makes the city so typical, you have the huge malls in the centers, hundreds of them and next to it you still found the traditional chinese markets, with people buying their fish, meat and vegetables in the street... curious mix!!

Of course my impression was also distorted by the fact that I hadn't planed that it would be only 12°C and I was freezing + I got stunk by fucking bedbugs ... I hate insects and so do they about me :( i am covered with hugly pimples.. just GREAT!!
We took one of the cheapest hotel in Kowloon and trust me, there are also freaking shit buildings in Hong Kong (see the pictures)...

Anyway, I am glad that I saw Hong Kong, the city is definitely worth being seen but also glad to be back home in Bangkok... that's crazy, but I have really grown an addiction to this city and I really feel home here:) We went shopping yesterday in Pantip (the electronic mall) and in Siam Square (for cloth) and i jsut love it!!

chinese style :)



Consumerism Temple.... oups strangely enough I have no photo to illustrate, but I really swear it is also !!
