Day 252 July 18th 2007, The World's Largest - Hong Kong

When we were in the UK for 2 weeks the new £20 took me by surprise, nothing though compared to the variety of notes in Hong Kong. In all 3 banks issue currency, HSBC, Standard Charter and the Bank of China. Same value and denominations but different notes.


We caught the ferry today across to Lantau Island, where you can see the largest Buddha in the world. Thinking I've heard that before, the footnote reads "largest outdoor Buddha in the world" One other thing work pointing out about Hong Kong is where ever you go you always end up in a designer shopping mall, they are everywhere.
