Shopper's Paradise in  Hong Kong

           It was our first visit to Hong Kong and we arrived to a hustling city.   Our plan was to take in the sites and  shop.  There were plenty of places for shopping including designer shops, underground malls, shopping plazas, and allies full of carts. The street vendors were more than willing to sell us  "good quality merchandise".   We bargained for deals and browsed thru  the well known Temple Market and Stanley Market.  Then, we rode the tram to see the spectular skyline at the Peak.

           At night, we went on the open top bus tour thru Nathan Road and the Spectacular Golden Mile.  Later in the evening, we cruised Victoria's Harbor  aboard a restuarant cruise liner.  The rain and clouds hampered the lazer light show.  However, the  harbor views of Kowloon and Hong Kong were magnificient.
            We had a complication at the end of our time in Hong Kong.  As we were waiting in the airport ticket line, I fainted twice.  It was a scary experience as I was dehydrated from the GI Flue.  It was a relief to get thru the screening process and on the plane for Beijing, China.
