The life here is so thrilling and amusing at the same time. To think about how much energy it takes to keep this city is crazy and the idea of how it would be to live here really talks to me. So big contrasts all the time, on one side of the street is some of the highest glass buildings in the world and on the other side there is the torn buildings of concrete. But i guess that is why i like it so much, the luxury malls with all the high fashion brands is everywhere, but so is also the labyrinth-department stores where you can find all the chinese specialities and cheap fake accessories.   

The conflict between western capitalism culture and traditional chinese markets is total,
its Hong Kong baby!

       

Yesterday we took a tour to the other side of HK, more known as Kowloon. To go there we took a ferry where could get a panorama view of whole Hong Kong and the best with it is that it only costed 2 SEK (which is nothing). You just have to love those bargain prices!! :)

It was not as much skyscrapers but some parts seemed to be reall new. But this changed pretty fast the further into the central Kowloon we came. We took the " golden mile" which is known for all its shopping. Well, the street was really really long! Straight ahead as far as one could see through the smog. All along the streets was also Indies that was wispering to us; "suits, watches, bags". At first it was just exotic and a bit weird/fun but when the 20:th came to us and asked if we wanted to buy it, one only want to kill them! :P

       

Im so glad that we live on the Island, feels more like everything is in order there :P But it was nice in the evening because then we went to a night market. Bob found some pearls and jade necklaces and i found a pair of converse (my first ones ever!).

On our way back to the ferry we stoped at the pier to see the lightshow. It included all the skyscrapers on the HK island. It was really cool, but my feet hurted like hel and the pier was overcrowded.
