Arriving Hong Kong 2.0 . . .

After spending 9 days in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, we took the bullet train back to Hong Kong to spend 5 nights.

The travel board in English makes it super easy to travel.  Our train was Z815.
Off we go!



Bullet train.  Comfortable seats.


Sights of Southern China.

Entering Hong Kong.
To leave mainland China, we had to go through customs, immigration and the temperature check again. We also got new stamps in our passports.
In Hong Kong, we got a taxi driver who drove like a maniac.
Seriously, he hit corners on two wheels.
Sights on the way to the hotel.


We checked into the cutest boutique hotel in the world.  They took our picture when we arrived!
This is what our room looks like.  What an incredible view of the city !!!
We are on the 18th floor.
Mirrors, mirrors, mirrors... 
Even in the hallway, and in the elevators....
Mirrors everywhere in this hotel. That means somebody is ALWAYS watching.
Headed out to get some food. This place was crowed - a good sign - but the menu had no English.
Before we got here, everyone said the street cart food is the best and is super cheap.  I want to try it, but the menus are not in English and the vendors don't speak English either.
Found a place!!  This vegetable won ton soup was sooooo good.  I couldn't believe my luck.  Then my hubby tasted it and asked the waitress if it just vegetables?   She said, "Yes!  Vegetables and pork."  UGH.  I had to send it back.  I maintain, they love the pig here!!!

ALL vegetable ramen.  Thank you, very much!!!
Different country; same 'ish.  This man shops for records everywhere we go!

Strolling through Hong Kong...

Circle K!!!  Whaaaaaat?
