Hong Kong is a city. Few places in the world that I have been to feel so much like a city. The only one that comes to mind is NYC. Hong Kong felt to me like the best of Europe and Asia. I think if I lived in Asia for a long time then the city I would choose would be Hong Kong. I spent almost a week there in Fall 2006. I returned to Hong Kong in September 2007 and spent another week or so. It is for me perhaps the best city in Asia.
