Hello guys, sorry that I’ve been MIA a bit. Between my busy schedule at work and prepping for our Hong Kong visit, I had little to no time for writing last week.
We just got back and I feel totally rejuvenated, well-rested and filled with excitement. Trip to Hong Kong turned out to be everything I hoped for and so much more. The city packs so much electrifying energy it’s impossible not to get inspired. I didn’t realize how much I needed to take a break and how much I missed being surrounded by the western culture. Thankfully, Hong Kong gave me just that. While I love my life in Tokyo, the place is distinctly different from the rest of the world, or at least, the part of the world I am used to. Japanese excel at holding on to their identity and traditions and even in the most modern and westernized places you feel a touch of local influence. Japan is a place like no other and as much as I love it I think I was starting to feel a bit homesick for something that resonated more with my roots, meaning the west. I certainly didn’t know what to expect in HK and was so happy to discover a real cosmopolitan city with its own character, local identity and pizzazz.
Despite the typhoon that hit the city for a day, J and I still managed to explore the highlights, shop at local markets, indulge in great food and, most importantly, spend a truly relaxing quality time together. I’ll tell you all about it in due course, but for now I’ll just share a few postcards of Hong Kong’s epic skyline as seen from different angles. I think the word breathtaking is quite fitting, don’t you think? 
Have you been to Hong Kong? How did you like it? I’d like to know!
xoxo, nano
