"City Of Lights" Hong Kong by Marpessa

I came to Hong Kong for a 2 night stopover on my way to London in July. This was my first trip to Asia and I absolutely loved it!

I came here with two of my friends, one who had been here before, and one who was like me, first trip to Asia. We all had a great time as this is such an amazing city! Would love to come back and see more of it!

I have never been to a city before that has so many skyscrapers, it really has some amazing architecture. I also don't think I've ever been to a city that has such a high population density, which actually made it great for people-watching :).

I have to say my trip to Hong Kong definitely makes me want to see more of Asia, more-so than before. The culture, society, food and the climate! Hopefully I will get back soon to Hong Kong and also to other countries around it.

This photo was taken the first night I arrived. My friends and I were all ready to hit the markets and the shops for some serious night shopping. And if you are in the market to get a new camera/phone/MP3 player... anything electronic... then this is the place for you!

The atmosphere, lights and amount of people everywhere really gives the city a great vibe!

• Pros:Fun city, cheap electronics
• Cons:strong smell of seafood, leaky air-conditioners
