Hong Kong was a good time. I spent much of my time in Hong Kong chilling with Candace. This was her 2nd time in Hong Kong. She went last spring with one of her businesses classes at UVA, so she was familiar with the area/transportation. This cut our confusion time in half. This was a key because it was a very brief stay, 2.5 days, so there wasn’t much of a “getting lost” time buffer. Fortunately, we were able to visit many of the territory’s major landmarks and sights from a crystal cable ride up Lantau Island to see the worlds biggest seated Buddha to Victoria’s Peak. I have a hilarious story from Lantau Island involving the Buddha. Ask me about it sometime if you wanna hear. The Hong Kong skyline was so beautiful it rivaled Shanghai. The buildings were not only huge but many light up at night. We were able to see the city light show from the ship. Hong Kong was the only port so far where I was not able to enjoy authentic local food & delicacies, other than bean paste pastries. I did however, have the best seafood pasta of my life at the Spaghetti House.
• New food loves: The Spaghetti House (not authentic Hong Kong food--in fact I’m pretty sure it’s a chain restaurant which is kind of pathetic--but extremely delicious.)
