We still don’t have internet in our apartment. At first I thought there might be a problem with hook-ups in the area, but it turns out all of Hong Kong is wired for service. I guess that makes sense. It’s a pretty techno savvy city. There is a ton of old history & culture, but at the same time, everyone seems to be very comfortable with modern technology. The city itself looks like a combination of very old & very new. The harbor is full of old junk boats and brand new luxury liners. The skyscrapers around the harbor are all shiny & new – and they’re constantly building more. Walk around the bustling business districts and before you know it you’re on some tiny street with nothing but old buildings & small shops. I think it’s great the way they’ve embraced the modern without destroying their past.

No hate, please. There's enough of that in the world already.
