Ahhh Hong Kong.  How long have I wanted to visit you?  To see your skyline, visit Victoria Peak, and take the ferry across your bay.  No one told me your weather would be terrible this time of year.  I would like to try you again when your skies are sunny, but I think I will have to do so alone.

Max and I took a food tour of Hong Kong Island with Big Foot Tours.  We started at Central station which you can see behind the lovely park below.  Hong Kong is a very green city with a lot of parks.



We visited several areas including a pretty amazing temple.  Since Hong Kong was not part of China during the cultural Revolution, it's full of temples like this whereas mainland China has amazingly few.


 

Now I understand!

Some pretty amazing pork and duck.
 

 

A huge food court.


We passed a store that sold paper offereings of everything your loved one could possible want in the afterlife.Here is a car with a driver.


Dog food and treats for your dead dog.


iPads and scooters for the dearly departed.
