hong kong day 2

today i ventured out to see the giant buddha on lantau island. situated near one of the oldest monasteries in hong kong, it is the largest outdoor bronze buddha statue. they offer visitors only vegetarian meals at the site as well. pretty cool if you ask me.

after the buddha visit, i went to haggle at one of the many outdoor markets, ladies market (which is not really specific to ladies - they sell all sorts of random stuff). i was able to see tons of galvin klein and seico products, ha. asia is full of faux stuff.

i also made some friends in the hostel today - more single travellers like me, rachel and andy. i will be heading off to Lamma island with them tomorrow.
