Hong Kong Condos - Comments and Reviews

Over night bus to Shenzhen to reach Hong KongThere are three rows of narrow bunk beds. At first we were disappointed with not being able to get bottom bunk but this soon changed when 20 Chinese people climbed into the bus when all the beds were full. Shocked to see them every where on the floor, and that they would sit there for 10 hours to rea...

I decided after doing a pretty decent job of exploring the island the day before that I would head over to Kowloon. The iconic Star Ferry was my choice of transport and at $2.30 (18p) it was again a great bargain (I seem to recall that the Staten Island ferry in New Your was similar).

Once in Kowloon I strolled around the harbour area and...

At last, I'm in Hong Kong! Whoever knew a trip from Calgary to Hong Kong could take longer than a trip from Toronto to Hong Kong? From the time I left my house in Calgary to the time I got home in Hong Kong, it took a full 28hrs. I guess I can't complain since it took James Cook four months to sail across the Atlantic and a total of 1.5 years to...

This blog should be entitled Hong Kong - AKA how hot can Sarah get before she passes out! After a fun filled 5 hours waiting at Heathrow amongst the other people staring in vain at the board that clearly was never going to give us a gate we gave up and got transfered to a virgin flight. We finally arrived in Hong Kong late afternoon the next day...

So we're in Hong Kong... hmmm... Hong Kong is a city. An obvious statement I know, but one that has to be made. We arrived suffering from severe jet lag, and having only seen 10 people in the past two weeks. We had been surrounded by open spaces, and the occasional lion or elephant, and were to be confronted by tarmac and concrete. In Africa pla...

I met up with my friend Nancy , who i met in Luxor (Egypt) I only saw her for a few hours there - but we got on well- So after a few emails she invited me to stay in her house-which i excepted- so that our story OK ....Hong Kong I stayed in her house with her family- she was like its only a small house I'm sorry- i was like don't be silly this i...

I am standing in a herbal tea shop with a lumpy mango delux on the internet at a train station. We are on our last hours on our get away and Jenny has lost her phone this morning! What a bummer! So while she is sorting out her stuff I am writing to say how clever it is to go to an airport express and check our luggage in here hours before so we ...

I have been to Hong Kong before, but was excited to be returning. I planned to go Victoria Peak, Stanley Market, and explore the area. As I was now running out of time, booked through the hotel a day tour, to take me to all of the places I wanted to visit. Before I knew it, it was time to go home, I was sad to leaving this trip of a life time.

There seems to be a pattern - or just free internet ;) so, we are in Pacific Coffee again, this time on the peak. The Peak Tower is finally renovated and opened. It looks better than expected (at least for those who never liked it in the first place). We feel very much at home and at ease in Hong Kong, not only because of the YUMMIE sushi we had...

What a cracker of a week in Beijing, Probably one of the most insane weeks of my life! I think I have had 4 hours sleep or less everynight and I finished it off last night going straight from the club to the airport! Where to start. The sites to see in Beijing are amazing. Tianamen square in all its communist glory was a sight to see, hundreds o...
