Our time in Hong Kong was short and as such we hadn’t wanted to commit to wanting to do lots of things. The weather was also horrible while we were there being the summer typhoon season. Hot sticky and wet was what we were greeted with and what stuck around for most of our time in Hong Kong. This cut down our list of activities. On our first outing to Hong Kong Island (Jakes cousin, who we were staying with, lives on Lantau Island close to the airport) it was semi-ok when we left but by the time we hopped of the train it was hosing down. Checking out any markets was out of the question as well as visiting the Peak, a lookout high above the city, as all we would be seeing was thick grey clouds. But the weather wasn’t going to get our hopes down. Walking through the huge central subway station Jakes eye caught a large billboard on the wall. A life size image of the incredibly ripped Bruce Lee advertising an exhibit of his life at the Hong Kong Historical Museum. With the rain coming down pretty heavy it was a perfect activity for the morning and so we quickly hopped onto the next train. Five transfers later and halfway to China we finally got to the museum.
