Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong

Day 1:
Arrived in Hong Kong at 17:30 ... took bus to the hotel (a really small room Andy could touch all the walls at once!) But it was a central location in the lively Tsim Sha Tsui.

Day 2:
Wandered down to the harbour and along the Avenue of Stars. As the day cleared up we took the Star Ferry @ a cost of about $2 (15p) or $2.50 …

And so our adventure begins! I could bore you all with mundane details about our flight from BNE to HK, what movies we watched (Pitch Perfect, The Sapphires - thanks for asking), whether we got in on time (yes), how the turbulence was (delicious), what the meals were like (pretty good thanks), how many people were on the plane (half full) - but let …

Our visit to Hong Kong wasn't full of highlights like Koh Samui, Singapore or Siem Reap but it was a fitting end to our fantastic holiday through South East Asia. We where winding down and taking in the sights and scenery at a slow and steady pace.

Nothing much on the first day except exploring the town area. Got my data SIM card and hunt for our dinner, end up eating Yoshinoya, their menu very interesting, as compared to Singapore. They sell steamboat too!

We walked around in the city exploring the night life, bought some snacks, explore a few shopping malls …

Next on the itinerary was Hong Kong which, as much as I hate to say after the last few days in developing Cambodia, I was rather looking forward to.

On the bus ride from the Hong Kong Airport to the hotel, someone said, "Did you guys notice? NO HONKING!!!". Someone else said, "Yeah, and there are only motorized vehicles on the highway!" I don' think there was anyone in our group who didn't long for normalcy after a week in India.

Upon arriving in our hotel around noon, we all went …

With 7 million people, it's one of the most densely populated cities on earth. But it's also densely packed with amazing food. China but not China, a thing all it's own. My colleague, Ronny, and I are in China to meet Chinese students and their families and to recruit students to Bishop O'Dowd High School (actually less recruiting and more vetting …

Parades, Fireworks, & Bruce Willis. What a week. It consisted of so many great sights and events. For those of you not aware, we did not have classes at all this past week in celebration of the Chinese Lunar New Year, which was specifically celebrated on Sunday and Monday. I traveled to several different places for the first time, including …

Hello everyone,

so after an amazing flight from Bangkok (thanks to Sri Lankan Airlines superb service) we arrived in the bustling and busy city of Hong Kong. Hong Kong is teeming, tightly packed, and outrageously overwhelming, so nothing we are not used to. But unlike other cities we had encountered so far in Asia, Hong Kong is …
