Hong Kong Macau

---

Hong Kong was our first stop in China. The phrase constanly used - one country two systems. We enjoyed this city touring Victoria Peak and downtown Hong Kong. Our favorite excursions were when we went off on our own to Lanuau Island to see the largest sitting Buddah in the world and when we took a Hydro Foil to Macau. Macau is like stepping into Portugal (architecture) with Chinese people! It is the gambling capital of China with many large casinos like Vegas.

You can ferry across the water or the subway goes under the harbor for a quicker trip.

Big Budha
The name is correct this thing is big.

Tai Chi in Kowloon Park
Every morning we would awaken and walk 3 blocks to this park and watch the locals. We would do our own brand of yoga stretching and it was wonderful, then off for coffee.

The building in the distance is only a facade as the rest of the building has fallen down.
