I have been to Paris, London, Tokyo, Seoul, LA, San Francisco, etc... and in my opinion there is no more "International" city than Hong Kong.
This picture was taken on the Kowloon side, which is a peninsula attached to Mainland China. From here I am looking over the harbor to Hong Kong Island. The ferries in the foreground are from the Star Ferry line. For the rate of $5.30 HK (.70 US) you can take a ferry between the 2 sides, worth every cent I promise.
Hong Kong boasts 4 of the 16 tallest buildings in the world, even though it is roughly the land mass of LA and half the population. Thanks to it's designation as an SAR (Special Administrative Region) Hong Kong has become a hub for international businesses. Almost every major bank has offices there.
From a Tourist perspective there are a few solid days worth of stuff to see. Check back here as I detail out some of the sights I have visited (and new ones I will add on future trips).

Love the photo! Michele set me!
That is a great pic.
I took the Statton Island Ferry while I was in NYC and that was totally worthwhile doing too. You also get to see the city the way many residents do too on a ferry ride.
Michele sent me to say hi!

What a cool picture, I'd love to travel, but am at a point in my life (young kids- in school) where I'm pretty much either at work or at home & that's it!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
