Part II.
Another thing I never mentioned about Hong Kong is that the people there are really nice and friendly. Also, in the morning, if you head towards the market, you would see all the senior citizens out buying vegetables. The elderly people there are also really healthy; in a sense that they walk a lot and get their exercise. It is just like the typical Hong Kong movies we watch. :)
Hong Kong during Christmas is just beautiful! They have wonderful decorations in all of the shopping malls and even along the street. The tourist sights in Hong Kong are great! They have this tourist spot called The Peak, it is high up in the mountains and it overlooks the whole city. Many people go at night to enjoy the wonderful scenery. The view is really incredible from up there! There is a restaurant called Cafe Deco up in the mountains with glass windows and a balcony overlooks the city as well. They also have a theme park that surrounds the mountains called Ocean Park, and it is so huge, you had to sit a cable car to get to the other end of the park. It costs more than a 100 Ringgit, but I would say that it DOES give you more than your money’s worth. They had hot air balloons as well, but you had to pay extra to go up on them. But the designs of the balloons were very unique. It definitely caught my attention. They also have one of the biggest roller-coaster rides there, called The Dragon. The track of The Dragon goes out just above the ocean waters and comes back in. Just looking at it was a little scary.

Last and definitely not least, the best thing to do in Hong Kong is to go SHOPPING! When they have sales there, the prices drop tremendously! The sales are so good; I could buy 3 pairs of new arrival shoes for about 500 Ringgit only! The prices are really reasonable and affordable. The citizens in fact, love shopping. The malls would be so crowded during the weekends; it's hard to even walk without hitting anyone. When they go shopping, they come out from the malls with bags in BOTH hands! Their designer shops are also really big and they always have a large crowd lining up to get in. They line up outside because they only allow a certain amount of people to go in at a time. Not only that, the people in Hong Kong loves to pamper their dogs too much. They even have pools and spas for their dogs to enjoy themselves. When the dogs are in the pool, they allow the owners to ride in a boat and play with them in the water, and also, because it was winter, the dogs wore winter jackets to keep warm. They even have promotion and sales for the clothes for your pets!
I had the time of my life when I went to Hong Kong. I would recommend anyone to visit and you will not regret it. :)
