On a recent Asia trip I ended up spending a weekend in Hong Kong, despite American Express Travel doing their best to sabotage my trip. Contrary to the waether forecast, it turned out to be a nice weekend, but hot! Here I am on Victoria Peak overlooking the harbour from the observation tower. Hong Kong is always exciting and so easy to navigate. My Chinese friend from Shanghai was quite surprised that his Mandarin language skills were of limited use in this Cantonese-speaking city :-) Luckily, English works quite well here, one could think that there must have been a lot of Brits around at one time. They also drive on the "wrong" side of the street which always confuses me...
