Hong Kong Winter

Hong Kong Winter

When Nate and I were preparing to come to Hong Kong I was very excited as they classify Hong Kong as "sub tropical". I know that I can get cold in the warmest of weather so I came prepared with two leather jackets and a thick hoodie. I brought a few sweaters as well preparing for the walking around during winter.

What I was NOT prepared for was the fact that although it can be 50 degrees out (and with the water if feels much colder) people still have the airconditioning cranked up in every building. I have been wearing 4 shirts to go to work everyday.

I met a lovely woman from Finland who was complaining about it as well. She told me yes it's cold in Finland but at least people use heathers and not air conditioners!

Thankfully Nate bought a space heater as our building is not insulated and has concrete walls (as do most places in Hong Kong). I surely would have not made it through the Hong Kong Winter otherwise.

I know that I should not complain as it is much colder in Colorado but I was just not prepared at all for that.....I wonder if they could put that on their tourism website!
