As a result we got a stunning glimpse into the mega city of the Eastern World and feel as if we there also, at least for a couple of minutes. Now we invite you to enjoy a trip through Hong Kong through Sebastien’s eyes.
[09:00 am] I am in the middle of tons of humans, though I never felt so lost and alone – Underground Hong Kong Center
[10:00 am] I was lost in a forest of buildings. Then I found an artificial paradise – Avenue of Stars, Victoria Harbour waterfront in Tsim Sha Tsui
[11:00 am] Lost and found in Hong Kong. That’s the paradox of a megalo-pole : it’s better to hide in the crowd.
[12:00 am] DIY Aquarium on an ancient fish market , just in front of the restaurant. So you just have to pick a fish to get it served. Not sure I’m hungry.
[2:00 pm] I think I’m lost again. Google maps, on my phone is just available in Chinese language, so like a modern adventurer, I follow the tallest building… and walk.
[4:00 pm] ‘An escalator can never break It can only become stairs.’ Here, escalators are everywhere and I think they might just have the world’s longest.
[9:00 pm] The Hong Kong machinery never sleeps. I walked around for ten hours and feel like I am dying, when I finally hit the 43th floor of my hotel. The last thing I remember is the view out of my room, Hong Kong seems so small… I thought, though my feet told me something else.
