Your definition of big just has to change in Hong Kong. Visited the Oceanic mall with 450 shops with every designer lable you can imaging all represented - the passageway simply disappeared into the distance. Check the photo of the gate lounges sign at the airport !! There is no way we could ever get used to the rush, the crowding or the crazy traffic - but it is undoubtedly a must see. Today we took the star ferry and the bus to Stanley on the south side of the island - terrific markets where guess who purchased some Birkinstocks for circa $80 (genuine)
Then off to the iconic cable tram ride up to the Peak (after an hour or so waiting in the queue) - difficult to describe the size of the buildings and the number of them - but you've got to put all those people somewhere I guess.
The heat is just so energy sapping - no way we could live here - but we're certainly glad we cme to check it out. An experience not to be missed.
Hi Ia & Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteCertainly can relate to the Hong Kong airport and the gate system. It took us ages to change terminals and gates as well. Worth the experience.
