HK Trip Report 2012...Lots of pics Modem Burner!!
Recently just came back from my trip to Hong Kong and want to share some photos with all of you. It is a city that never sleeps and a city that is known for the best and freshest seafood in the world. Hong Kong is very tiny but is the densest city in the world. Beyond that, it is known as Rolex capital....
 Watch dealers are everywhere. Here you guys go and hope you enjoy! Here we are....fiance and I waiting in the airport for our 16 hr flight!!   Victoria Harbor:   Lantau Island! Visiting the Big Buddha today:             The freshest seafood in the world in Sai Kung:    Soon becoming our dinner tonight:   Delicious!! Abalone:     Goose!! Hard to find these days.     Construction everywhere!!       Now this is exactly what I'm talking about why HK is simply a WUS heaven!!                Some Vintage cameras too:     |

Prices were a bit high. I think all the pieces I saw the prices were a bit high. But great selection and beautiful examples nonetheless. Unfortunately, HK Vintage Watches in Wan Chai were closed the day I went. I really wanted to see their collection. I'll definitely let you know in advance next time I head over again and we will have to meet then!
