I've been out buying last minute souvenirs and meeting up with old friends and family. My family even bumped into old friends family of 6 that moved about ten years ago. We ended up losing contact because we moved to a different place and they had our old address. We treated them brunch good times.I love Hong Kong.

I will say this before I add my full entry with pictures.You DO have to have a sack of balls to drive in China. My great uncle drove us around for a week and even sitting in the backseat had me in sweats. What we call road rage or cutting people off in U.S. is the way they drive in China and I thought Hong Kong was craziness. Everyone cuts everyo http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/shenyang/blog-426325.html HolaNi HaoAlohaBonjourGutentagI have gone to ShenYang China visiting family I have never met before.

Since then we've been going out everyday experiencing every bit of HK possible and this is what I've got. The shopping. It is definitely insane. There is stuff as cheap as 5 dollars a shirt and it's a stylish one to something like Prada. Olivia thought that things would be cheaper here than in U.S. but isn't... and maybe she's right b http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Hong-Kong/blog-418724.html I have not abandoned this blog.

Exciting.So stay tune keep in touch and prepare to be more amazedLove http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Hong-Kong/blog-418542.html For the longest time I was wondering why Giordano and Bossini were selling tshirts with Smiley faces printed on it. I thought that maybe HK's design ideas were going down the drain.Turns out that when HK was falling apart economically like the rest of the world they decided to do something about it by Cheering Up the people of Hong Kong. They started this campaign getting the community toge http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/blog-415038.html I definitely got a little frustrated yesterday I've been trying to upload my pictures for the past few days even after TB's database or whatever it was was fixed and it didn't work. So I started a new blog. Anyway I've calmed down so I will be resuming this. Things are finally working Last night I went out for German food It was in a hotel so... just a tad bit pricey but was tasty. Then went http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Hong-Kong/blog-414029.html Tracy once said to me that blurry photos are good because it makes things look prettier. I'm sorry Tracy I would have to disagree. I have many blurry photos so you'll just have to use your imagination. I think it's cause I don't stand still when I take photos I'm ALWAYS on the go walking walking walking. If I stop everyone behind would get irritated. It's kind of like driving and the person in http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Hong-Kong/Kowloon/blog-412509.html Tonight I went to Wan Chai and ONCE again I forgot my camera HOWEVER I have collected a couple of photos online for you to see where I've been.Wan Chai is known for being a red light district strip night clubs and what not as well as a place to go and have a drink or two and be merry.

Everything. They sell stuff from Louis Vitton and Dior to no brand great style stuff. I decided to go shopping again and bought myself a couple of things... mostly clothes... lots of dresses.

Or so I thought.Turned out I pressed a button that didn't allow my screen to display anything so I was banging on it for a while cause I had this problem before nothing to do with the buttons I pressed... I hope I didn't break anything. I wasn't able to take photos of places I have been that are fantastic.
