“This is Hong Kong... Your mobile phone rings while you're shopping for dried fish stomach at a cluttered stall shadowed by a gleaming sky scraper.
You're eating bird's nest soup next to a woman wearing a chic anti-pollution face mask, a cutesy hair-bow and a T-shirt that reads 'Hysteric Glamour'. You're heading upstairs with a stomach full of tea & cake when the concierge glides up to say your suit is ready for the second fitting.
It's an intoxicating place, spectacular, exotic and accessible.” --by VT member
