As the title says, here’s a collection of snapshots from my most recent trip to Hong Kong. Spent four full days in Hong Kong this time around. I stayed in Kowloon for the first half, then Hong Kong Island for the other half. Even though the city is so small, traveling back and forth was a little exhausting. Good thing I packed light!

Of course, it was also nice to stay at a hotel with a shower and central heating. =) I had one last breakfast with Yoko-san that morning. I…
