First impression of Hong Kong

Arrived in Hong Kong where we checked in at Tom's Guest House in chungking mansion

Chung King Mansion is located in Kowloon, and it is here that many budget travelers traveling to because of the cheap hotels. Chung King Mansion is a huge building complex where there are several guesthouses on each floor. The ground floor is a maze of narrow times with shops and food stalls. Kawloon lying down to Hong Kongs waterfront, which has a beautiful view over the city skyline at night when all lights are on. One of the citys major shopping centers are located on the waterfront - Harbour City, which houses 700 shops and 50 restaurants. There is everything from H and M to Georg Jensen and Chanel. January sales are started, so the stores have marked down their products. In the expensive shops such as Cartier and LV may be only a certain number of customers at a time. So there are long queues in front of the store. It is not expensive to eat in town if you choose the places where locals come. A court will only cost 40 HKD. We have heard much bad about the food in China and Hong Kong, but so far there has only been good kullinariske experiences for us. However, you should just turn it is quite normal to eat with mouth open, smack and slurp your food in it. Fortunately, we have not encountered any people yet who farts loudly after they are finished eating. There is virtually no internet cafes across Hong Kong, as most hotels offer free WI FI. So remember the little laptop when you travel away.
