Hong Kong

Hong Kong is an amazing place in many respects. First off it's only 1 hour by ferry ride from my apartment. Secondly it's much more of a westernized city than mainland China. It has a fantastic reputation for food of all kinds, shopping and nightlife.

We went on a Saturday night to check out the bar scene. It's kind of like a mix of Bourbon Street, Las Vegas and China all at once. The street Lan Kwai Fong that we were on is well known among travelers here. It's loaded with people from all parts of the world. You can drink in the street, take drinks from one bar to another, etc. Lots of fun.

As with most of the scene here it doesn't start until late (nearing midnight) and doesn't end until the wee hours of the morning!
