Yesterday, I featured the West Kowloon Cultural District as the future of Hong Kong.   Here is a video with details. Breakfast was at the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong, of a bowl of noodles, with orange juice and cappuccino. Had a nap.  Went to dinner in our Club Lounge.  From twilight to night.  Note that there is air pollution in Hong Kong .  Quite serious, as caused by industry and vehicles.  There are also 7.6 million people here on space much smaller than the island of Oahu, Hawaii.  Never seemed to go away during the day. That spherical gold structure is the Golden Egg, or Charles K. Kao Auditorium, locatd in the Hong Kong Science Park. First course, two soups, plus seared tuna soba.  Springbank single malt scotch.  Costs around $250/bottle in the USA. Main dish was Vietnamese Hang Nha Noodles, and salad, with a Cabernet Sauvignon. Desserts. That was about it for last night, for we will be picked up at 10AM to be taken to the airport tomo...

  Our first day in Hong Kong began on the Ritz-Carlton Luminara,  I went for a simple breakfast at Azur  On the way back to the room, took a video of Hong Kong before sunrise. From my veranda, saw the sunrise over Hong Kong. Then a swift checkout through customs and immigration.  Ritz-Carlton was so organized this time.  There was someone accompanying us through the whole process and into a large van to take us to the Ritz-Carlton hotel.  One final goodbye to the Luminara....I thought. It was a very short ride to the Ritz-Carlton.  We got a Club Lounge room on the top floor, room 111620, which means we're on the 116th floor.  Here is our view....of Hong Kong and the Ritz-Carlton Luminara. Luminara was there all day into the night.  The Club Lounge is only a few steps away from our room.  We had lunch and English tea. Noodles with Hong Kong Beer. Hong Kong during the day. Then, dinner. A few photos of Hong Kong at night. Hong Kong Island....
