Hong Kong ... Initial Impressions


Hong Kong (at least where we are staying) is like London with Asian looking people. This makes sense because; Hong Kong was a Crown colony of the United Kingdom until 1981 and was only transferred to China in 1997. The cars drive on the wrong side of the road. There are markers on the street reminding you which way to look (just like in London). It is even possible to hear a British accent on some people. Many people here speak English. We are definitely closer (culturally) to the United States than anywhere else on this trip.
