1. HONG KONG IS BUSY. VERY BUSY.




2. NO MATTER WHAT, YOU WILL ONLY WEAR T-SHIRTS AND SHORTS


3. EVERYONE HAS A PHONE THE SIZE OF YOUR FACEWhat I've noticed especially from traveling on the MTR is that people of all ages are literally watching tv shows on their phones wherever they go, yes even that 70 year old man and that woman who's going to walk into you because she's too busy watching videos than to see where she's going. I've even witnessed a couple sat next to me one time at this market stall restaurant who had not interacted with each other the entire time we were there but had their eyes on their screens. What happened to social principles and ACTUAL conversation?
4. HONG KONG SHOPPING MALLS ARE HUGE







5. THE FOOD IS TOP NOTCH AND OFTEN CHEAP







6. STARFRUITS AREN'T WHAT I HOPED THEY WOULD BE
Says it all really.. I had such high expectations.. the only way to describe them in texture and flavor is that it's similar to an Asian pear which I'm not really a fan of.
7. HONG KONG IS AN EXPENSIVE COUNTRY TO TRAVEL TOAlthough you could easily live the life of a back packer for a short period of time traveling and exploring Hong Kong but if you're wanting to stay longer than a week? The costs are going to build up, of course I haven't experienced staying in a hotel or know the expenses but I know buying the typical everyday items is much more expensive than buying it here in the UK.
8. HONG KONG ACTUALLY HAS BEACHES









9. THERE ARE 7 ELEVENS EVERYWHEREUs British aren't all that familiar with 7 elevens as we don't have them here but if you didn't already know, they're convenience stores that sell.. you know the things you see in convenience stores. You can load money on your octopus card, buy Mopidick cream (which I totally recommend for mosquito bites, ultimate LIFE SAVERRRR!) or even buy dim sum and conveniently microwave it there and then to eat.
I hope you enjoyed reading this post as much as I did writing it reminiscing the memory within each picture, if you have any questions just comment below or if you want to read more specific posts about Hong Kong, let me know!
