Stuff you should know about HK...

It's warm- it's the dead of winter and still short sleeve weather

They drive on the wrong side of the road- leftovers from the bloody Brits

It's big- there are tremendously huge highrises all throughout the city and a TON of people

It's exciting- there are always people out and about who all appear nice and in good spirits

It's rich - I saw Lamborghini & Ferrari driving around like it was nothin

It's cheap - While the cost of living may be more expensive due to property, you can still get a great deal on just about anything.

Computer Nerd's heaven- There are huge computer markets with anything you could want to soup up your PC - I managed to escape without a thing!

You can get any food you want- Subway, Mickey D's, BK, some GREAT bakeries, and any type of Asian food

Mickey D's has chicken wings! - I had never seen that before, I had to try it

You can't walk 500m without coming across a 7-11 - seriously.

There is a spot called North Point - shout out to GPN alum. 

People spit on the ground- actually this is a lie, unlike their mainland counterparts, Hong Kong residents rarely partake in this Chinese pastime

70% is still not developed- it's mountainous and GREEN where there aren't high rises.

There are several islands - All of them with big buildings juxtaposed with high mountains covered in trees.

You are on the water! - Pacific baby. Go for a boat ride.

You are 13 hours ahead of home (Detroit) - so take the time it is there, add one hour and switch the AM or PM

There is an old British tram that takes you to the peak of a mountain - on top you can find some major shopping and good eats. The tram has a bit of an old school feel to it.

There is no duty or taxes! What?!

There is Disneyland!

People are friendly - I don't know what it is about this city, every time I come here it gets harder and harder to leave. Must be something in the water.

There is a very natural mix of Western and Eastern cultures - making it easy for English or Chinese speakers to get around

The speak Cantonese – Mandarin won't cut it here.

If you don't have plans to go you should reconsider- it may not be a top vacation destination spot but the shopping, prices, atmosphere make it a very nice spot for   travelers of all ages

Plus you can see Mickey!
