Only in this city of juxtapositions can you find a store filled with dried jellyfish and sea urchins next to the luxurious Ritz-Carlton, and a packed noodle shop with greasy tables on the same street as Louis Vuitton. Here in Hong Kong, the unimaginable can become the inevitable. Youd never believe that from a patch of grass the size of my parents front lawn would rise a 100-story skyscraper a month later, yet it seems that new building are squeezing and pushing through the already crowded Hong Kong skyline every day.
After having lived in Beijing, Pittsburgh, San Diego, New York, and Boston, and shortly in Maine, I have made home in Hong Kong. In a way, this strange city -- an eclectic mix of East and West, perfectly reflects my life thus far. I wonder what new excitements this energetic city will bring?
