We enjoyed 5 nights in Hong Kong to finish off our trip to Asia. Hong Kong is a HUGE contrast to Cebu. HK is one of the wealthiest cities in the world - quite a difference from a third world country. HK belongs to China, but it functions as "one country, two systems." We were told there is about 8.5 million people in the space of 430 square miles. It is definitely crowded, but amazingly efficient with their transportation. Between the high tech underground subway, bus system and taxis HK can transport people around in minimal time. It was fun to explore, and check out the sights.
The Subway
Double-decker Buses
Incredible high rises and infastructure

We enjoyed the taste of some great restaurants. 
Visited a buddist temple. The temple also has beautiful gardens which were a nice break from the busy city.
We celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary while in Hong Kong.
We were amazed at the shopping on the world famous shopping strip of Nathan Ave. Our hotel was on Nathan Ave. so we were right in the middle of the tourist area.
Enjoyed shopping in the Temple Street night market.
The days we had in Hong Kong were great, yet the contrast was so huge compared to Cebu City. What extremes we have in our world!
