Hong Kong Skyline at night

We started off our China odyssey in the former Brit colony of Hong Kong, which is I suppose the gentle introduction (in some ways!) for us Brits to China. For a start, we can still get in without a visa, just one of the concessions since handover in 1997. English is still widely spoken. It is a world-class city by anybodys reckoning, and its mental. Bustling doesnt even begin to describe it crazy traffic, high rises as far as the eye can see, neon signs that make you weep for the environment piled haphazardly, sky high, one above another, pollution to (cough, splutter) die for probably literally and a harbour full of gin palaces and old sampans. Its wonderful. Its big and brash and beautiful and stuffed to the gills with life and light. Ridley Scott gave more than a passing nod to HK in Blade Runner.
