Hong Kong

After spending one last night in HCMC, I caught a one way flight to Hong Kong to spend the next 4 nights. Right as I arrived I had to go visit the HKU office to pick up some paperwork and fill out some forms to get a HK ID. I rushed over to the office and got there just in time to pick up the paperwork I needed for traveling to China. Lan Kwai Fong is the main bar district in Central Hong Kong where all the expats go to drink after work. Beer's range in price between $7-15 with the cheapest beer being Corona....the opposite of what you would expect. My first night I met up with a friend of a friend for dinner and drinks to celebrate her birthday. She was staying at the Hotel LKF which has an amazing roof top bar which is where we spent most of the night people watching. The next day I opened a bank account at HSBC and went to check in at the Mandarin Oriental hotel to meet my dad. 45 years ago my dad visited Hong Kong with his dad and stayed at the exact same hotel. Once my dad arrived we enjoyed a nice dinner in the hotel restaurant, then I went out for the night to cheer on team USA in the world cup who played at 3am HK time. The following day we left for Japan
