There's really nothing in particular to see in Hong Kong, "It's all around you" I'm paraphrasing what I overheard at a bar atop the LKF hotel in Lan Kwai Fung.
It's also a Tortoise album which has been on repeat on my BB for the last couple of days.
To a certain extent he's right. It's the kind of city needs to be taken in and digested. For that matter, it's similar to Los Angeles. Of course the two are vastly different in terms of scale (vertical v. horizontal), but to understand them you must take plenty of healthy bites. Needless to say, I'm devouring Hong Kong.
I'm staying in an area called Discovery Bay for now. It's a planned community on an outlying island (Lantau). How I ended up here isn't relevant, but it's allowed me insight into a side of HK that I have never seen. "Disco Bay" is typically where all of the expats live. The residents are able to live in a bubble secluded from the bustle of Central. One of the benefits of the community is that the development has allowed me great paths for running without breathing in copious amounts of carbon dioxide (no cars here). Quite a contrast in planning compared to the tangled web of HK.
In school…my reading list continues to grow.
