On my way from Beijing, after 15 years I am back in Honk Kong.
I came to feature the top luxury hotels in the city and believe I am totally ready for the experience.
Although I am afraid of heights...
I will face the new Ritz- Carlton 118 floor Ozone bar.
I am not very good in digesting street food ....
But I will challenge myself courageously ignoring the smoke and strong smell of the local back streets kitchens.
I belong to one God...
But I will endure long lines and absorb the incense of the city temples.
I adore diamonds
But I will trade for the best Jades in the markets.
I have tendency to put weight on very easily ...
But I will surrender to the chef's most creative dishes.
I love to go to sleep early...
But I will numb myself into the DJ tunes of the trendiest night clubs until dawn.
I love my bedroom at home
But I will negotiate for thr best suites with a view and will post each ane every one in the magazine. It's a promise!
I should be saving money...
But I will accept sourcing for crafts, and indulge some unique luxury shopping.
I never have time for myself ...
But I will consider unpaired treatment in on of the most luxurious spas.
And you my reader... Are you ready for the ride ? Buckle up we're landing.
I have made a general selection of images to give you a feel about the city contrast, the places I have visited , the people I have met. Follow me this week for more.
