Jewels And Shelly Martinez Buy

and Hong Kong from September to Christmas 2007 Goodbye


I arrived! Here I am after my trip there yet. I need a job here to do.

I found that Lionel had come to Yemen, and Laura came to Dubai for a haul luxury holiday and Thailand. It makes me happy to find them. I'll stay three months at Laura.

The city is amazing. Its facade is a bay on the wall of modernity, towers architect glass soar above the sea Behind the rise buildings stand against each other in the narrow streets of Hong Kong, they are strangely thin, most are ugly, sort of HLM. The population density makes it an extremely lively city of morning until the end of the night. Here
blend modernity and tradition, we see both luxurious malls and more traditional shops, stalls decorated with lacquer ducks hanging, Chinese pharmacies with all kinds of animals dry, hippocampus in toad , with swallows' nests, elixir of youth and rhino horn powder, Chinese Viagra.
Signs Chinese mingle with the most famous Western brands.
The population is a kind of mixture of the world or the proportion of Chinese remains the clear majority. The Hong Kong people are very rich ruling class and the middle class, wealthy expatriates class apart, and workers everywhere are the poorer classes. It includes the Philippines, housekeepers, nannies or prostitutes, Sri Lankan, Indian and Nepalese in kitchens or service in hotels or in public works. Others hold jobs related to their origins, Pakistan and Iran in the carpet in the French luxury restaurants and bars ... The image of
impressed nts bamboo scaffolding hooks to skyscrapers is certainly the one that best characterizes this city, a blend of modernity and remains traditions.

There are many things to say about Hong Kong. They are spending most of Asia, the city is a huge market. They are superstitious, they love the game, the tripos and paris. Vessels Macao are full on weekends, the Chinese invade casino bones to lose their wages. Macao surpassed Las Vegas in terms of turnover, the Casinos are popping up like mushrooms. The Portuguese city disappears gradually exception of a few streets untouched by the developers but the Portuguese is an official language and cuisine and wine have also resisted green. There is undoubtedly a reign Latin flavor.

Another charm of Hong Kong is the archipelago of islands surrounding it. One hour boat we find ourselves in small fishing ports, sometimes on stilts. It eats crustaceans and fish cooked in soy.
Hong Kong's beaches are 10 minutes from downtown on the south side of the island. It is one of the few cities in the world where one meets in the subway surfers after a day on the waves of Big Waves bay, beach pretentious name.


Hong Kong is also the city of copying. It represents oduct everything from Oktoberfest with Bavarian or Chinese parties and his Scottish kilt and the Chinese playing the bagpipes, amazing! But gradually we feel about a culture of their own, the Hong Kong cinema is proof.

Life is easy for expatriates, prices of apartments are expensive but the rest is much more affordable than Paris, taxis cost anything, popular restaurants are given. Everything is simple and fast the city welcomes you and looks a lot suddenly smaller. The pace is set up, parties, excursions, sports, weekend in Macau, Shen Zhen .. Insecurity is nonexistent for those who have no trouble with the mafia.

But Hong Kong is primarily a city of money and business, everybody wants to win and still win to spend more. It would be easy for contractors so the mood is right.


After three months in this amazing city in search of a job, the weather starts to be long and Europe began to fail me again.
