Here we are, the first flight over with. That one was only 8 hours. Everyone is dreading the next one. This is the 13 hour one from Hong Kong to Heathrow. Small dramas at the transfer lounge, almost ended up in Hong Kong city instead of the right place, the plane to London. Haha. One small thing that I found one should watch out for at the airpo...

After my parents spent a week in Singapore, they had an extended layover in Hong Kong. I decided to join them on this weekend trip. Since they booked their flight here with United miles, they were able to get a Singapore Airlines flight (read: nicest airline in the world). I took JetStar (read: Southwest for short Asian people). My flight got in...

Not much to report from Hong Kong. Matt was able to join me for last leg of my trip which was very exciting. We spent most of our time at the tailor so we don't have many pictures of other fun things.

After a very early start and a strenuous argument with the taxi driver in which neither of us could understand the other, I finally made it to the airport to fly to Hong Kong. This was the first time I was going to fly into Chek Lap Kok because when I left HK in the opening days of 1997, Kai Tak was still in operation. Those were some hairy time...

I was reading on the plane today about the whimsicle midseventeenth century life of Madeleine de Scudery, who claims "you marry to loathe. This is why a true lover should never speak of marriage, because to be a lover is to wish to be loved and to wish to be a husband is to wish to be loathed". She lived the principle, taking on many lovers. In ...

Kettie reccomended we try the street food in Causeway Bay so Dan and I headed there as soon as we got up in the morning. By around noon we were getting off the subway and trying to find this delicious street food. Unfortunately, we have a tendency to walk around in circles so a few hours later we were still without any food. We did pass by Bowri...

Our last day in Honkers was another late start, pushing limits of our 12 noon check-out. It was then onto the MTR for the trip to Central/Hong Kong Station for us to check our bags into our Brisbane flight at the Airport Express' in town check-in facility. Because our flight was not departing until 10:45pm we used the day to continue enjoying Ho...

Our first day actually took up two days, as it was evening on the 12th, HK time, when we landed. Didn't do much except sit in an airplane and go to the hotel.

After relaxing on the beaches of Cambodia it was time for some city living in Hong Kong. We must thank Ezza and his girlfriend Susan for making the visit possible by putting us up in our very own serviced apartment and showing us all the sights. We flew into Macau and got the ferry to Hong Kong where Ezza was waiting for us. We spent the next 3 ...

Lantau Island is the largest of all of Hong Kong's islands and my destination for today. The ferry from Hong Kong island was only 20 HKD for the short trip and gave some good views of the other neighbouring islands along the way. Two guys on the ferry were planning on hiking across the island to the Po Lin Monastery where there is the world's la...
