// HONG KONG
Having finished nearly three years in Latin America, I flew into Asia to begin the second big chapter of my travels. I'd intended to stay in Hong Kong only a week or two, long enough to get a visa into China. It turned out, for technical reasons, I couldn't do this, and I ended up in Hong Kong for three months. Despite living in the tiniest apartment I'd ever seen, in a seven floor walk-up, my time here was well enjoyed. For like New York, Hong Kong is one of those truly vibrant places of human culture, a place that hasn't yet succumbed to the generic-fication slowly over taking the world. Hong Kong still has hidden alleys, odd shops hidden in high rise buildings, peculiarities at every turn. Though no more than a single city, it is home to impressive mountain parks, off the beaten path islands, and some lovely coastlines.
