"JR and I had been wanting to meet up and shoot together for quite some time, and we decided Hong Kong City would be the perfect place to create some awesome videos! As the date got closer to leave for Hong Kong, we became anxious and cautious about the protesting that seemed to be getting worse. But took the plunge and decided to still go and pursue our journey. We had no trouble once we were there and fell in love with the Dense concrete jungle like buildings and were amazing to find so much nature surrounding Hong Kong. This was our journey to the beautiful Hong Kong City and what went down, we hope you enjoy 🙂

Special thanks too!
Hey, JR.
Hey, Ben. What's up? How are you?
I'm good, man. I just got into Hong Kong an hour ago.
What are you up to? Do you have time to meet up tonight?
Yeah, sure. I've just been exploring the city, taking in the markets.
Do you remember the meeting spot?
Yeah, yeah. I remember the spot. I can be there in about 20 minutes.
Sweet. I'll see you there.
See you, buddy.
What's up, man? How are you?
Good, man. How are you?
Dude, it's so good to finally see you.
Yep. We're here in Hong Kong.
I know, and it's so hot.
I know, dude. I'm wearing jeans.
Let's check out the city.
Yeah, me too.
So you think I should message Ben and JR?
Yeah, why not?
Ask them if they want to climb Lion Rock with you.
They would love that.
It's day one. What do you think we should do?
There's this really nice temple called Man Mo Temple.
I think we should check that out.
I think we should go to the Big Buddha next.
It's really iconic here.
Oh, the Big Buddha.
Yeah, we should definitely go and see that.
Man, what a crazy day it's been.
Hey, have you seen that apartment block everyone takes awesome pictures at?
Oh, I know the spot you're talking about.
Want to go there tomorrow?
Yeah, for sure. I'm down.
Whoa, sick.
It's crazy to imagine people live all cramped up in here.
It's been such an awesome week exploring, man.
I still can't believe how diverse this city is.
God, I'm starving.
Yo, let's get some dumplings for dinner.
Oh yes, dumplings it is.
Oh, so I got this message the other day from a guy called Ben Mark.
He wants to take us up Lion Rock tomorrow afternoon.
What do you think?
That's the 360 view hike, right?
Yeah, that's the one.
And Jamie arrives tomorrow too, so we could all climb it together.
I'm keen.
Cool, I'll let him know.
This is going to be sick.
Okay, guys, we are almost at the top.
Here is a good view also.
You can see both sides of the city.
We should take a break here too.
Holy shit.
Look at this view.
This place is insane.
I never knew Hong Kong was this big.
This is mental.
Oh my god, JR, look at the view.
You can see everything.
This feels like a dream, man.
This is insane.
Oh no.
This city is so beautiful.
It's a shame about everything that's happening here, like the protests and all.
In all honesty, they're just fighting to keep their home the way it is.
And I do understand their perspective.
Yeah, it really makes you appreciate the freedom we have back home.
How is this even real?
I feel like I'm on cloud nine.
One thing's for sure though.
I'm definitely coming back to this city.
There's so much more here to see and I wish we had more time.
I'm with you on that, bro.
One day we got to come back and see the rest.
