In Hong Kong only for the third time but staying for a few days rather than a few hours (the first two being on stopovers for a trip to Surabaya, Indonesia), I have some time available to go around after 3 days of meetings and presentations. Last night, we had a welcome dinner aboard a ferry that allowed us to have a splendid view of Hong Kong at night and when the lights made the city quite a sight. It was cold (about 16 degrees Celsius) but warmth was amply provided with the company of friends and acquaintances. I post a few photos below taken from the observation deck of the ferry.

Like other trips, the Clairvoyant and I haven't been to HK together and we do plan to travel here for some shopping and exploring early next year. While she has gone around with her cousin who's residing here with her family, I haven't really gone around except for a few long walks (the city is very walkable). And HK is just a couple of hours flying time from Manila so it's just like a long domestic flight. There is also no requirement for a visa like ASEAN destinations so it is really a convenient trip to make.
