I was actually in Hong Kong most of last week for work. It was a bit of a surprise trip – just came up in the last couple of weeks at work.

It was good to be in Hong Kong again. It was my first time there in over 4 years. I think part of me thought that I would never get another chance to go. It just goes to show you, you never know what’s around the next corner.

Hong Kong was pretty much how I remembered it. There were a couple of times last week where I had major deja-vu – not realizing that I had been down a particular street before until I got there. Weird really. One thing I didn’t remember about Hong Kong though was the massive amounts of foreigners living and working there. Seems like every street I walked down and every subway car I rode on – there was some other white, black, Indian or otherwise non-Chinese face around. It’s much more of a global city than Tokyo is by a long shot.

While I was there primarily for work – I did have a chance to look around a bit. Did I take many pictures then? Well, it’s pretty hard to when your camera battery runs out on the first day. I knew I should’ve packed the charger. Another lesson learned the hard way.

What did I get a picture of then? The mini bar menu:

“Mini bar menu?? What the… why bother??”, you say. Well, this caught my eye:

Panda – only $38 HKD! Not a bad price to pay for a chance to eat an endangered species! I wonder what it tastes like. Let’s dig in!!

Oh… that kind of panda. I’ll pass. Looks too chewy.

Seriously though – I did get a couple more pictures, but not nearly as many as I had hoped. Have a gander in the album. I’m never leaving home without my charger again!
