At first we were quite skeptic about the protest but when got to Hong Kong it was very peaceful. It was just some peaceful students expressing their view. The news made it look scary but it's nothing like that. Everything in Hong Kong is on SALE now so we did alot of shopping and many of the tourist spots are less crowded. The apartment was very clean and centrally located and close to many tourist attractions. The MTR station is also 2 min walk away so it made it very easy to get around Hong Kong. Thank you Maria for having us, WE really enjoy our trip in Hong Kong
