Culture Shock


We are in Hong Kong and all are in culture shock from the move from Cambodia to here. The city is beautiful. The skyline is endless with mountian peaks in the background. The population of Hong Kong is 7,008,000 and the primary tongue is Cantonese. The city is so technologically advanced. The subway system is very user friendly and tickets are available via touch screen maps. You just touch where you want to go and how many people are going and it prints your ticket!!! So far, there is more of a language barrier here than in Vietnam or Cambodia. Our dinner was $887.70!! This is the first time we have had to exchange money and the rate is 7.8 Hong Kong Dollar to $1 US dollar. Off to the Jade Market and The Wong Tai Sin temple today.
