Ce Ce Chin is in China!

I’m off on the road once again this time heading to China! I’ve been traveling to Hong Kong on an "almost quarterly" basis for over 10 years and since 80%20's beginning, almost 5 years ago! While the city is now quite familiar to me, Hong Kong never fails to make a fresh fashion impression.

Leading brands (both big and small) boast stately flagship stores and hold back no detail. Hong Kong is much like New York and London combined, but with way more Chinese people. Cantonese often sounds like harsh criticisms and shouting, but then peppered with English slang like "bloody", "cheeky bastard" and "naf". For those uninitiated to Hong Kong's pulse, watch Chungking Express, one of Wong Kar Wai's first movies to receive acclaim in the US. Although this movie is from the 1990s, it captures the ever-present heat, whimsy and charge of the city.
