hong kong
I went to Hong Kong for the first time last saturday, and even though we didn't get there until maybe 2pm and had a sort of large group (and groups don't move very efficiently) so we didn't get to see a whole lot of things, I had a great time and I really like it there. The food is really good. Cheap for american standards, but on a China teacher's salary, even a "foreign expert"'s salary, Hong Kong is really really expensive. In one day, including transportation, I spent all of the 400 kuai ($50) that I exchanged. Sure. Only $50. but 400 kuai! that's a lot of money! And I didn't even have anything to bring home to show for it. It was so nice to have a little bit of western convenience though.
I'm going again tomorrow for the big halloween party at Ocean Park. Yes, that will be expensive too. But really, when else am I going to be here for sure again? I didn't get a chance to meet up with Catherine, my roommate from Milan, last time, so we're gonna try again tomorrow. I really really want to see her!

Comparing with mainland China, HK is definitely quite expensive. It's even worse if you don't know where the good cheap stuff are.
Maybe see if Catherine can show you around...
