I have been reading alot and looking at pictures of Hong Kong, anticipating my 4 month visit this fall. The photos of the night skyline really remind me of the scenes in the movie Artificial Intelligence when they are driving into the city, and everything is exuberant and colorful. My friend who has been there, says that it is a hot, fast paced, in-your-face consumer mecca. I also hear that HK is the "freest economy in the world." I could well be wrong, but I am getting the feeling, without ever being there, that HK is the most futuristic city in the world. Or if not the most futuristic, that HK represents a pinnacle of some sorts in human civilization. Or that its uniqueness is unparalleled. The product of two supercultures, Chinese and British. What do you think HKers?

Perhaps I should let go of all expectations.
