Our Hong Kong

You start to feel like a local when you can take visiting friends around your city. That's exactly how we felt when Sharon was in town this month. From our favorite curry noodle place, to the little place that sells bao and jin doy, to our weekly staple, Nha Trang, we had the pleasure of showing off Hong Kong. In addition, we got to check out some of the tourist hightlights in Hong Kong.

A favorite from Darryl's childhood, a trip to see the Pandas in Ocean Park was a must-do for Sharon and Darryl. Check out this video from S.
