One cool thing here - I feel really tall!! It is nice to finally see over crowds and be the tallest in the elevator! A bizarre feeling for me, since I am so vertically challenged! I will enjoy it while it lasts though.
As many of you know, Hong Kong is a shopping mecca. But some of the strange sights are of the gold fish market, flower market and the Bird Street Market, where there is a full street of vendors selling all types of different birds. A noisy place, but these guys are really into their birds! Some elaborate carved cages too. Also, being such a huge banking nation, we were at first alarmed to see that each bank has it's own bills printed. In your wallet you can have so many different bills that I would be worried about counterfiet bills. So, we carry around a colourful array of money and try to figure it out each time we pay for things. A few more of the islands for us to check out next - hopefully the rain will subside and we can get back to our busy travel schedule. For now, we shop for digital SLR cameras!!!! * Stub
