A view of Hong Kong from my hotel.



A side street with market.



While Hong Kong was a fascinating place, every time I returned to the hotel after being out in the streets, I felt like I had to shower. The smog-laden humidity is so heavy it felt as if dirt was physically settling on my skin. The market streets were always wet with some mystery run off, and the buildings boasted layers and layers of grime.

An amusing juxtaposition of a filthy Hong Kong building and a gleaming Starbucks sign.
