Lori and I are nearing the end of our assignment in Hong Kong, only a few months left. With baby on the way (less than one week ETA!) and an impending international move around the corner, time will simply fly by. I've recently been thinking of how I can make the most of the remaining months, weeks and days here. What better way than to embrace the things I enjoy the most, my Hong Kong top 10. Okay la!
1. Ding ding! The Hong Kong Tram - Nostalgic, authentic, historic.
2. Juice Counters - Fresh apple and ginger, need I say more?!
3. Star Ferry - Beautiful view of Victoria Harbor and the best way to transition from the office to home.
4. Light Show - Best skyline in Asia...wait...possibly the world! (excluding Mpls of course :)
5. The Peak - Skip the tourist sites and head to Victoria Park, a perfect spot for a Sunday picnic.
6. Sai Kung - Great hikes, mountain views, beaches and camping.
7. Lamma Island and Peng Chau Island - Laid back, relaxed and no city skyscrapers or buzz.
8. Hong Kong Waffle - Make sure to add the peanut butter and condensed milk, yum!
9. Dim Sum - Little round boxes with tasty surprises in each one, try the BBQ Pork Buns.
10. MTR - The train system (and transportation in general) is most convenient. Aside from the already mentioned modes, there are taxi's, buses, mini-buses and the list goes on...
The top ten list was fun. But I must add one more:
11. People - We've made some great friends here, fellow expats and coworkers from all over the world. We feel blessed and grateful to have made these lifelong connections.
There you have it. I highly recommend trying all 10 or at least as many as you can if you find yourself in Hong Kong. Enjoy some photos below!
