Hong Kong is exactly as you would imagine it. In Hong Kong there's only one must-see attraction and that's seeing the view from Victoria Peak. 
Of course we start off our first night eating al fresco; here we are perusing the foriegner-friendly menu.
We were so busy eating whatever it was we didn't realize there was a head amid the pieces we were eating. Of all the urban cities I've been this explains why there aren't a lot of pigeons around...
Mmmmm...nothing better than street food. . or so we thought.
well, if you insist.
cool, are we ready for breakfast? 
Dim Sum in Hong Kong doesn't come around in a cart, it's all fresh, steamy, and not eatin' past lunch. 
Unlike trains in Japan, Hong Kong trains come every two minutes. Your only choices are to get out the subway or get on the adjacent train. There are only five lines in all of Hong Kong.
The Harbour (all the street names have British names). By the way getting here was a feat, we were following "subway" signs, but realized subway=pedestrian underpass and tube=the tunnel we know as the subway.
Chill Bruce, it's just a boat. 
Have you ever seen the move "Chungking Express?" Yea, I haven't either but apparently this is where it was filmed and it's fairly clean but you can tell it's the most morally sullied place in Hong Kong. 
Stepped into a famous cafe...
...and had this coffee; best coffee ever.
This is the so-called "Flower Market" that they open during the New Year's celebration..
...but they mostly sell cute blow ups also. . 
not so cute blow-ups like fire extinguishers, scissors, cutters, and those yellow wet-floor signs which i couldn't get a good picture of because it was so crowded it was too risky to take my eyes off my friends. 
Buy this, look at me.. 
Smoking has become prohibited in all public areas as of January 1, 2007, bars, nightclubs and massage parlors are exempt until 2009. 
This is the most famous dessert place and the waitresses know it. Among the seven desserts we ordered the picture on the menu for this one looked good it ended up being vanilla ice cream on top of rasperry jello but...
...there was a surprise inside. .pieces of the famously delicious and foul-smelling fruit durian..in the words of my friend in attendance "it smells like ass!" or as my other friend described it as "cat shit." I'm sorry I can't be internationally open-minded about this but i can't get passed the smell; maybe someday.
This was by far the best dessert there: fresh mango wrapped in mochi meshed with cocoonut.
The Harbour at night. . 
We're actually not on Hong Kong Island; Hong Kong has several islands, one of them is called Hong Kong. .We're watching the Hong Kong Island light show from Kowloon. All the buildings cooperate to do a 20min. light show (it's not as exciting as it sounds, it was actually pretty boring; a unanimous).
Next morning Dim Sum once again, here I had the best spring rolls I had in my entire life (not even exaggerating) upon recommendation from a friend. The congee in the middle was amazing as well. I'm considering when I get old moving to Hong Kong just so I can drink tea, eat Dim Sum, and read the paper. 
This is the best dessert in Hong Kong by far it's a warm waffle with butter, peanut butter and condensed milk. Sounds simple but you can't find anything better.. 
We went to see the new years parade but the only good picture to come out of it was this kid on top of his dad's shoulders confirming his future in photography. 
we stopped by for a little snack..according to friend the HK McD's is the only one that serves breakfast all day; uhh heaven. This is their local specialty the red-bean pie. They also have curry burger and spicy chicken wings. 
This is a Buddhist vegetarian restaurant we randomly came across, she's serving us shark-fin soup (w/out sharks fin). 
The sunglasses i bought that I'll need in Egypt. They were originally priced at $HK3,000 at a legitimate looking store the guy said he would give me a discount, but decided to shop around it turns out it was priced at $HK1,200 at the DutyFree which is about $US150. 
We had to have dessert before we left so this is our last at the HK airport. "Mango delight:" fresh mango, mango sherbert, and mochi balls. 
JAL hasn't been doing good so I guess they decided to up their food quality; good move. This rivals the bibimbap on Korean Airlines. JAL meal: unagi, tororo soba, salad with good dressing, mango pudding, and two yummy peanut cookies (+all you can drink sake). Thus concludes the account of my Hong Kong travels. A small portion of over 250 photos, 3days 2nights, and an expanded stomach. You'd be proud to hear the only thing i bought are the sunglasses and a cd. I really really really wanted a Gaucho Dior bag but i abstained.
Good Hunting.
