For Starbucks that is... We went to the giant buddha over on Lantau island, and low and behold, at the top where the buddha is, there's a Starbucks... tre reminiscent of the one in the Forbidden City...while I love me some bux, it's a little much when it's at a cultural/religious site.
Buddha was cool, but it doesn't compare with the ones I've seen in China.. but still neat, nonetheless..
The tram ride up (which is apparently new, and costs mucho dinero, but we did it anyways) was gorgeous! amazing views of the water, airport, buddha.... What was most interesting was seeing the route with which they built a trail.. there are no switchbacks, everything just goes straight up! Let's just say, it would be an amazing glute workout.
Next up (For the next 1.5 days) is more eating, and hopefully some shopping at the major 'removal' sales...
