Hong Kong

Nancy and I flew from Taiwan to Hong Kong for a few days.  We stayed at the YMCA in Kowloon and got free upgrades to suites - had a great view of the harbor, but it was foggy.  The main thing Hong Kong has to offer is shopping.  We went to a few areas around us and to the main island looking around.  Checked out a couple parks.  One of the days we took a ferry to the country of Macau (attached to mainland China).  It was under Portuguese rule for quite a while so you see it in the architecture and naming...very odd to see in China.
