here's a slideshow from my first full day in honk honk (hover for captions):
on the way from kowloon, where my hotel is, to hong kong island.
can you taste it??
aziz, my tour guide and boss for the week, at city hall for dim sum.
my favorite part about this dim sum was the black sesame soup. i must learn how to make it!
after dim sum, aziz and i took the escalator further up the island to begin a hike.
the hike begins!
i was too shy to introduce myself, but here he is.
eggboy likes cranes.
complete with two shopping malls, obviously.
hong kong island and kowloon, across the river.
aziz told me that if a girl is ditzy, she is "so er." "er" means "two" in mandarin... like the two that i'm making with my hand in this pic. hehe.
a colorful wall.
i think that's the back of hong kong island.
it just occurred to me that this year marks seven years of being friends with aziz!
heading back down the island.
on the trolley of doom. that thing gets nearly vertical. never taking it again.
taking the mtr back across to kowloon for indian food!
