Project Shutter - Point. Shoot. Share!

 

It's been some 20 years since I visited Hong Kong, and just 2 weeks ago, I decided to do just that.  For some weird reason, Hong Kong was never on my "travel radar", wanting always to visit other more exotic places like Cambodia, Vietnam, or faroff ones in Europe.  To me, She was all about "bright lights and city nights", quite like Singapore but alot more faster paced and crowded, and mucho shopping.  Well, I'm glad I came and stayed, despite the incessant rain and having pretty sore feet from all the walking.  I saw parts of Hong Kong that aren't about shopping and eating but old streets, buildings and neighbourhoods.  Sadly, it's evident that many of these will be demolished in time to come to make way for the new, bright and shiny.  I left Hong Kong 5 days later, snap-happy, sore feet and all... and with a very changed perspective.
