Into the East: Hong Kong

Friday, October 8

Hong Kong

I stayed at James place while being here, the flat is located just next to Time Square which is one of the best locations in the city. Everything is close and convenient here! Outside the door into the hallway there is a really cool traditional fish market outside, they have everything from all sorts of fish to funky looking lobsters.

There is a religious group in China which is called Falun Gong and it's HIGHLY illegal here because they oppose the Communistic Party. You have probalby seen these group members if you've been to China's embassy anywhere in the world or at busy places around big cities. I've seen them in Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin etc. Well they were in Hong Kong spreading awereness how much illegal organ trading there are in China. People are killed and looted of their organs...

We didn't really do much sightseeing because I've already been here twice and then it's the holiday so all places are filed with people from Mainland. I can imagine how great it would be to go to Disneyland and que 2 hours for each ride. The only thing we did was going for a short walk in the mini Zoo in downtown, their animals are LAZY!

Hong Kong is all about Social Clubs if you want to meet important people. The fee for the clubs vary but around 20.000 euros annually and this club has a 7 years waiting list after you got recommended by 5 members and given proof that you are financially well off.

However we did a lot of nightly exploring at LKF and went to see some awesome fireworks at FELIX when it was China Independence Day 1.10 (1.10.1949 is when the Communist Party took over China)
