Coming back from an amazing trip to Germany and Austria, I've noticed myself becoming spiteful and miserable to all things HK. There's too many people, the weather is horrible, and just about everything reminds me of everything that is not Europe. Nobody likes being the bitter, scorned bitch, so I've decided to take active steps to salvage my fast deteriorating relationship with Hong Kong.
So with a hopeful heart and open arms, I went about my daily activities but with a keen eye for all things interesting and appealing. And here's what I've found...
If there's one thing Hong Kong is best for, it's definitely people watching. There are literally all sorts of people from all walks of life here - from the impeccably dressed to the eclectic clad right down to the stereotypical mainland tourist wearing the brightest, shiniest, weirdest trends.
It's been rainy these past couple of days but the great thing about Hong Kong is that the longest trek without any cover is probably only 30 seconds. Thus, I don't even need to carry an umbrella. It reminded me of the time back in Australia during high school when I was walking home and it suddenly began to hail. I was halfway home and literally had nowhere to hide (I was in the middle of an open football field) and I had to run home screaming in pain as icey golf balls battered me.
And of course, not to mention the beautiful skyline! And the iconic old style junk.
Until my next trip, I suppose I'll keep trying to remind myself of the positives of Hong Kong!
