But still there are a lot of things I could buy here with one hundred Hong Kong dollars. But first, you probably want to know what a one hundred dollar bill looks like in Hong Kong.

This is a photo of a front-page of a newspaper. You can probably see the ad. The guy in the picture is the richest man in Asia. He lives in Hong Kong. Sorry about the photo being on its side. I try to do better next time.
                                     

This is an advertisement from a newspaper advertising all their sales and deals. 

 I hope you now have a sense of how much things cost in Hong Kong.
