Hong Kong: The City

Since moving to Asia one of the places on my list to see has been Hong Kong.   It is the New York of Asia, the closest I will most likely get to China (it costs a lot for Americans to go to China) and it is very kid friendly with many attractions, including a Disneyland, aimed for kids. 
Hong Kong viewed from atop a peak.  We took a tram up it. 

The kids did awesome on the trip and were great troupers as they had to hang with me while I figured out the city.  This was an adventure in its self because Hong Kong is not that big, but has millions of people.  Thank goodness for the parks where we could get away from the masses and relieve the anxiety from people being our bubbles.  Wade was not a fan.  However, the food, sights and the reason we went (next post) was worth it all. 

The food here was great.  Wade discovered and loved Dim Sum. 
Hong Kong was cold, but sunny. My favorite kind of weather.  
One of the many public parks.  They also offer free wifi.
One of my favorite dishes was Schezwan noodles.  They are made right before they are cooked.   Liam got to play with some uncooked ones before one of our dinners. 
Another park.  This one had a free zone it. 
On top of Hong Kong
With millions of people on a small island, there are lines EVERYWHERE.  Just to go to the bathroom we would wait an average of 45 min.
