A Hong Kong Christmas
It's a great time of year to be walking in Hong Kong. We do Christmas here in a big way. Trees, lights, tinsel. Choirs sing carols in the malls. The supermarket muzak in Park & Shop has got "Jingle Bells" on continuous loop. My building's door lady has taken to wearing a pair of antlers. And down on Ladder Street, the vendors are cleaning up with the Santa suits.
Our snow may be fake, but our warmth is jan-jing-- that's Cantonese for the real deal. We're even roasting chestnuts--not over an open fire, but in huge black woks on streetcorners. (We're roasting purple yams on the street, too--that's not exactly traditional Christmas fare, but, hey, they're really tasty!)
Perhaps you are running around now, elbowing through the Christmas crowds, fretting about the gift you need to choose for a certain special--but picky-- someone.
May we make a suggestion? Why not give Hong Kong for Christmas.
That is to say, why not give that hard-to-please person a Little Adventure in Hong Kong? We will be happy to wrap up one of our special, personally-hosted 3 hour walking, food and cultural tours in a bright red bow for you.
And if you book now, we'll throw in a bag of those wonderful Hong Kong roasted chestnuts, too.
