Howdy from Hong Kong

Howdy Y'all,
Been in Hong Kong for a week now on a business trip, and did some awsome hikes in the hills around Hong Kong Island last weekend. The hills are about 1,000 feet or so high, straight up from sea level!, and there are many of them.
The Brits did a good job in building and maintaining hiking trails which criss-cross Hong Kong Island, with decent loop hikes of around 5 miles. Because HK is so hilly, the trails are mostly up and down some pretty steep grades, and with high humidity (90+), a day of hiking can be quite exhausting. After puting in a couple of hours of up a thousand feet and down 500 and up again, all within a couple of miles, one can be pretty dehydrated....time for a little brewsky to get the electrolytes balanced again!
I am looking forward to being back in the familiar territory of the Supes in another week or so.
Best to all HAZers.
