Hong kong here we are!!

So yes, we have been in HK for almost 5 days now and loving it !
Did some touristy stuff and just walk around the city. Met v's parents at the very first time, they live in the NEW Teritory which is very nice and quite and it is not too far away from the city with the KCR train takes about 20 minutes.

Love the MRT here, they are so clean and fast, especially when its rush hours, people are just so many everywhere you go. The best part is that it's sparkling clean and quiet and smooth, unlike NY's rickety rat-infested version.



Starbucks is everywhere here, we are now at the Pacific Coffee which obviously a competitor of Starbucks ! They have a free internet which is great ! The starbucks pastry case serves the most amazing looking baked goods, flaky ham and cheese/tuna stuffed croissants. But starbucks in HK is even more expensive than NYC!! Over $3 USD for a grande drip, can you believe that?? Here's a pic I took of their pastry case (got a little scolding on the side "no pictures sir..." heheh enjoy)



We are on our way to see the Peak and the weather has been really nice here around 60-65 f day time and around 50 f night time.

We are still getting over our jetlag so sometimes we had to sleep in the middle of the day and wake up in the middle of the night !

Food is great here ! Dimsums are everywhere ! LOVE IT !
