Day 1, Hong Kong: A country of small people

China is a country where being a small person I feel absolutely comfortable. No more long pants in the shop, no more arm stretching and not reaching while being in public transport :) a picture in Hong Kong subway

The streets of Hong Kong are full of people, big crowds of people are absolutely everywhere no matter is it a day or night. No wonder, population of Hong Kong is 15.000.000 with density of more then 6000 for 1 km sq.

An interesting note we found on the wall next to our hotel room

Our first meal in Hong Kong was rather something surprising. After a long walk in the city we decided to step into one restaurant where we asked a waiter to recommend something tasty for us. In few minutes he brought us a huge pen of hot water with raw leaves of salad inside, a plate of completely raw meat, raw dumplings and many spices. We were completely lost what to do, to eat hot water with lives of salad or start with that raw meat. Good that we didn't try to do that, because all the magic was in our table, which was half table/half heater, so the pen with water and salad started to boil and meat with dumplings was supposed to be put into this so called soup. In fact this strange dish turned out to be amazingly tasty!
