the indescribable

It is difficult to describe Hong Kong or to put what I am seeing into words. The city is similar to what I thought yet quite different in some respects. There are alot of people but it is not as stupid crazy busy as I imagined. However, it is holiday time here and tomorrow may be a different story.
Hong Kong is very international so there is every type of food your taste buds desire - a great city for foodies. Just tonight, I finally had an authentic Chinese meal of dumplings at this great place around the corner from Lynn's. The neighbour we are staying in is so great with lots of cool shops and restaurants.
Speaking of shops, shopping is somewhat overwhelming - there are so many choices and it is hard to make decisions. You don't know if this will be the best deal or the opportunity to buy. Also, sometimes you are expected to barter and other times the price is fixed and I have yet to determine which course of action is appropriate. So I just am trying to deal all the time. Shenczen, China's shopping was particularly overwhelming with overly aggressive clerks who pounced as soon as you showed even the slightest interest in an item.
We have barely scratched the surface of Hong Kong but I do know that it is beautiful, vibrant, diverse and overwhelming all at once - a city difficult to describe yet beckons to explore it's secrets further.
