Hong Kong is one of my favorite cities and, in my opinion, one of the most dynamic places to live. It was the first place I lived overseas, back in 1998-99. That experience infected me with an unshakable passion for this city: its dramatic skyline, its crowded alleys and markets, its cosmopolitain sheen, and its ability to retain its heritage while continually reinventing itself.
