Hong Kong Protests – Occupy Central

Hong Kong Protests – Occupy Central

Whilst I was in Hong Kong I was fortunate enough to witness a chapter in China’s book that will surely go down in history. I was there during the Hong Kong protests, also known as Occupy Central, where thousands of people shut down the central business district of Hong Kong in order to protest against the Chinese government. I am not a political analyst and speak better in pictures than I do words, but what I will say, is that it was quite something to witness how peaceful the demonstrations were. I am not sure that an African protest would have been quite as calm!

Hong Kong 2014

Hong Kong was like a gigantic bitch slap after a gentle seven weeks spent in Bali. Hong Kong is loud, fast and in your face but it’s also fascinating and has an energy all of it’s own. This wasn’t my first visit to this unique city, but it felt like it could have been. I saw Hong Kong with new eyes and I felt it with a different heart. As with every travel experience no two adventures are the same and although my second trip to Hong Kong was just as engaging as the first time it was completely different to my Bali chapter. I am sure you can see this in my pictures!
