Introductory Hong Kong

For the month of November, Hong Kong will be my base camp.

I’ll be staying with my MBA friend Jose Luis, who replied to my question about visiting for a few days with: “No, stay a month!”

I laughed, but he was serious: “Wei, just stay here and travel around”. It did sound like a good idea.

Since I haven’t seen him in two years, just hanging out and experiencing his expat life is going to be fun.

I rather wait until officially leaving for my post, but here is my first week’s impression:

If Singapore is Southeast Asia imagined by a westerner, then Hong Kong is the west imagined by a very rich Southeast Asian.

Strange sights
