Hong Kong

Leaving for HK in less than a week's time and I figured I should draw out an itinerary, collating all the recommendations from Shawn, Cheryl and Janice. They're super nice to send me long emails about food and shopping recommendations for HK. Chiew was right, better have a rough idea of what I'm gonna do each day, if not I'd end up making my family walk in circles all over HK.
