Just got back from China! I had such a great time and got to see A LOT of sites. Hong Kong was absolutely beautiful—it had a great skyline and some spectacular views. The ship got cleared relatively late, so we searched for somewhere to have lunch and then took a tour of the city. We had lunch at Pizza Hut, which is not like your ordinary Pizza Hut in the States. We later found out that people in China LOVE pizza. So his Pizza Hut had full on table service and it was a really fancy place. It was a very formal setting for pizza.
After lunch, we took a ferry boat tour of the harbor in Hong Kong, where we got to see all the awesome buildings around the harbor and a really cool bridge that had looked similar to the Golden Gate, but was yellowish and had a train run on it. After the tour, in the evening, we took one of those double decker buses to The Peak, where we walked around to see aerial views of the skyline. We snapped some photos and had dinner at Bubba Gumps—second Western meal of the day, but oh well. We did some souvenir shopping and then took a ferry back to the ship. I really liked Hong Kong because it had a big city feeling with a spectacular skyline. When we got off the ship, we walked into this fancy shopping mall with a Starbucks and expensive shops that I didn’t shop in. The mall had wireless so after we got back, my friend Violetta and I went inside the mall to use their Wi-Fi, which was nice. Then, I went back to the ship and packed for Beijing!
