HONG KONG--Hong Kong Island Tour







Hong Kong is an extreme change from being in India...Much higher class and barely ANY beggars and hardly any honking, which is heaven after having had spent 2 weeks surrounded by it...I'm sure that my brother can understand!!! On Tuesday I went on the afternoon Hong Kong Island Tour which started out by going to a temple...The Chinese light incense inside of the temples because when you make a wish their idea is that the flames will go up to the God's to make your wish come true...After that we went on the Tram which took us all the way up to THE PEAK, which is the richest place in Hong Kong and also where Jackie Chan has a house...His house is right up the hill from where my friend lives...Then we continued on to the fishing village and took a boat ride around to see how the less fortunate live...Our final stop was Stanley Market, which is an outside market that sells all sorts of clothing, fruits, souvenirs, etc...Very good beginning to my visit to Hong Kong!!!
