Any article that features Hong Kong in any capacity
attracts my immediate attention. Not only because
Hong Kong relates to me as home but also because
through all my travels,
no other city has been more fascinating.
You can practically smell the culture, the crafts, and the undeniable
ants-like dedication in engrained in so much of its population.

As a child, I remember getting off the plane and knowing immediately
that I was in Hong Kong: the tunnels, the chatter and
the bright neon lights radiating the streets.
