On my way, first stop Hong Kong!

    My first impression of Hong Kong was made as the taxi brought me over the bridge onto Kowloon island. The brilliant lights of the high-rise buildings sparkled against the midnight sky.

      Over the course of three days I toured Victoria Harbor by ferry, watched a Sunday outdoor music event, and viewed art at the Hong Kong Art Museum. In the evening I walked through the night market where vendors sell everything from original art to electronic toys. 

    Hong Kong is filled with so many colors, sounds and all kinds of people! Besides seeing noted attractions I got a taste of everyday life by riding the metro, walking the streets and sending packages home through the Hong Kong postal service

    On the afternoon of the 27th, my tour group of 9, gathered for the 14 hour overnight train ride from Hong Kong to Guillin. Next stop Yangshou!
