Hong Kong, I Love You (part one)

It wasn't anything like I expected it would be. The moment the plane touched down, I felt a tingling sensation. like I'm in for a treat of a lifetime.

Hong Kong. Everything about it fascinated me.

I cannot forget how amazed I was by the sights and sounds of the bustling city. I walked its streets till one in the morning. Strolling from one corner to the next. Finding myself at Temple St., Night Market. Haggling with a vendor for a vinyl toy, a bronze Buddha figure and other knickknacks.

Riding the MTR on the way back to Disneyland, I relished conversing with the locals on their way home from work. Talked about their daily commute. They asked me if I enjoyed myself in their country and I replied with a content smile.

Went to a party for the local lomography store and luckily met the founder of lomography, Wolfgang. What a way to cap my 1st visit to Hong Kong.

If only I could live there. The moment I set my eyes on her, I knew I would never forget the moment I met this enchanting city.

Hong Kong, I Love You.
