Thoughts on Hong Kong, Skylines and Kowloon

Singapore: A Country in a City
Singapore is a country unlike any other I’ve ever visited, as it is literally just a city. It’s like if Brooklyn were its own country. You can drive from one side to the other in less than an hour and public transportation will take you anywhere you need to go. …

Thank Heaven for 7-Eleven
