The (hazy) view from Victoria Peak.


The Aberdeen fishing boat harbour.






The Hong Kong skyline.














Hong Kong is a great city. 7 million or 6000 per kilometer (vs 30 in the US) make for a lot of high rise buildings, and small living spaces (average size of an aprtment for 2 is 350 square feet). But the city is clean, and with 1 car for every 5 people, the bus and subway system are great and easy to use. The cities #1 industry is the deep water port followed by finance and then us (tourists). The Ferrari, Lotus, BMW and Mercedes dealers are doing well dispite a 100% tax on the purchase of high end autos. As our guide said today, "the filthy rich people call the shots".





























Tomorrow, we have our first free day! No wakeup call!!
