Hong Kong

If you have a spare week and some money still left from a yearly bonus this is the best place to visit. My favourite town I have ever been to. Period.
Hong Kong has all in one - scenery, culture, food, entertainment, shopping and lots more. Whatever you want it`s here. It certainly does not come cheap but there are few bargains, like 10$ lunch at 1-Michelin star restaurant. People could be nicer though, a strange mix of business-oriented Chinese, seemingly party-oriented Brits (of the few that stayed) and all others who try to outdo the former or the latter. But hey it is still better than in most of the big world alpha cities.
Coming to Hong Kong made me wonder if I could live here. Forgetting all the advantages the quality of life in 30sq meters, 2,000$-rent apartment on a 40th floor in the shade of a neighbouring skyscraper cannot be the highest. One week is enough. And next one is hopefully soon...
