The Land of Hong Kong

Have you ever thought about living in Hong Kong? Many say that the economy is coming back and that now is the time to find the jobs and get the big money. In all this ruckuss there is simply still one thing that can be said about this place...Hong Kong is unique. If you are here to get the big bucks, wear fancy shirts, hang with the high rollers or simply lounge at one of the many restaurants at Lan Kwai Fong, you are here for a reason and you are an integral part of the culture and life. The Island is much different than Kowloon or the New Territories showing as much diversity yet with the feel that only being here can produce. I live in a little 500 square foot two bedroom flat in the heart of Wanchai and the concrete, buildings and people squeeze me as to take away my breath. The one major thing that people who have only heard of Hong Kong is the simple reality that this place is over 80% wilderness. That's right, once you pop out of the densely populated areas there is as if a beckoning ice cream on a sweltering hot day beautiful parks, trees, lakes and mountains that in an instant (literally a five minute walk in some places) sweep you into the peace of nature. Birds, insects, butterflies and even monkey bid you welcome to their home with open arms. The monkeys in some areas are so welcoming that they will take whatever you are holding as a gift to the king to enter their kingdom. Now just when you think you have found your paradise you come upon beaches, coves and waves that have never seen a human before. The water surrounding compliments rectifies the reality of living on an island. So I must for the record say that at least now you can think and imagine about living in Hong Kong.
