I'm working in Hong Kong this week, and this is my first trip here. As always, I can't show any of the images I'm making for the editorial assignments I'm working on, and my brain is a little drained to make many personal pictures. But I'm so amazed and impressed by this city. For its size and density, I find things wonderfully organized (maybe the best subway system I've ever been on?), calm and non-threatening. Tonight a police van buzzed by me, and I realized that I've been here for 5 days, and it was the first siren I'd heard. More thoughts to come...

I agree on the subway system, until you've ridden Tokyo's. But, definitely right up there. Also interesting that you mention the siren. I don't remember hearing them more than maybe once, but the rest of the sights, sounds and smells, especially around the various street markets, leave an impression I don't think I'll ever forget. (in a good way).

Glad to hear your enjoying it there.
