I have done a lot since I arrived in Hong Kong about a week ago. Today was no exception. We had "Exchange Buddy Day," a day planned and paid for by HKUST so that the Exchange Students and their local "buddies" can get to know each other. We went to Stanley Park, a tourist-y area with lots of places to eat and a market, and then we went to Victoria's Peak, one of the highest mountains in Hong Kong.
The view from the top is spectacular.
Want to see?
And here is the view from the other side, as the sun was setting. It doesn't look as beautiful as some of the sunsets I have seen in North America, and this is because of the pollution that is carried to Hong Kong from China, the neighbour to the North.
Still, it is pretty cool. Check it out...
And here is one more photo that I took today. Hong Kong is full of beautiful decorations that are enjoyed by tourists and locals tonight. This is one of my favourite displays...
Tomorrow, I am going to the "Ladies Market" in Mong Kok (just a short subway ride away). It isn't what you would think...haha. It is a place where you can buy various types of clothing, shoes and accessories from different stalls along the street. Bargaining is an important part of the process, so I will have a chance to practice my negotiation skills!
