“Fast pace, money driven, on-the-go,” said Tose. This is definitely the vibe one can receive from Hong Kong. With a population just under eight million people, this city will never slow down.

While New York City has several venders lining the streets, Hong Kong has twice as many. Deep fried pig intestine is a favorite with Tose, among others. Roasted goose is considered quite a delicacy due to the fact that in Hong Kong they have a special way with roasting the goose where the skin is crispy and the meat is tender and moist.
Hong Kong is known for their technology and shopping. Many of the locals enjoy boating on the weekends and relaxing in Internet cafes. “I love the atmosphere,” said Tose. “There is always something going on.”
Speaking of shopping, one must bring their wallet because $1 in the United States equals just under $8 in Hong Kong.
“I miss the business and food,” said Tose. Hong Kong may be on the other side of the world, but home is where the heart is and eventually Hong Kong may be Tose’s permanent residence.
