Our flight to Hong Kong was 14 hours total. We arrived at 7:00am in the morning and after only a getting about 4 hours of sleep during the flight felt pretty good. Dave had a passport issue, so when we first arrived we set out to find the US embassy. We were greeted by a thunderstorm, rain, and intense humidity. Luckily, I went into an appliance...

SUNDAY- A TRIP TO THE NORTH EAST COAST: Good morning everyone. Yesterday we had a change of pace and headed onto the mainland and the eastern coast. I had read about Sai Kung as being one of the best regions fro fresh seafood. It took us 2 MTR changes and a long bus trip to get there. On the way we stopped at Diamond Hill to see the Chi Lin Nunn...

Boring boring, all was ok with the flight thanks for asking. I watched Death at a Funeral...ok and High School Musical 2 twice...excellant. No more 'We're soaring, we're flying etc etc etc" now it's 'you are the music in me'. Same song essentially.\ What do you mean i'm not the right demographic...those films were made for middle aged women. So ...

Day 35 A few days ago, after I got back from Beijing, a couple of guys wanted to see what the horse races were about so we took off after work and headed to the Happy Valley district. It was pretty amazing to see the horse race track. That night they had 8 races going every half hour. I only bet once and didn't even come close to winning but it ...

Day 7 Not a whole lot going on here. It seems weird coming back here for the second time in a short period. I have missed a few things here but on certain things, I haven't. LOL I'm hoping to explore different places here but also go back to places I enjoyed. One place that I liked before was the Peak but I wanted to see it at night. Unfortunate...

I took in a run along the promenade this morning and wow lots of locals exercising especially the Tia Chi. Large groups participating. The early morning commutors catching their ferry to work and buses. I felt energized from the experience. The rest of the day was preparing to leave for Australia at 6 PM. WEe took advantage of the free shuttle b...

Admittedly, I am a bit bonkers for going through Honkers, really, it adds several hours and at least $100 to my flight back as opposed to Singapore, but at the time I booked it, we were planning on flying direct from Siem Reap to Hong Kong, so it made sense. Too bad that flight filled up... We avoided the Chungking Mansions ghetto and instead st...

I don't know how we got our four overpacked suitcases in and on the cab taking us to the airport, but it happened!

Wednesday 28th February to Saturday 3rd March 2007 After being delayed due to electrical storms at Sydney Airport we finally set off for Hong Kong. What a flight, loads of turbulence ad "flight panic", particularly Karen and Imogen. We arrived late into Hong Kong, pleased to be on the ground, and whisked away to the funky Cosmo Hotel. Over the n...

When visiting a certain place accept it there's so much questions to fill up. Some of it is where to stay what to do, and many more. Good thing that when we plan to have an break in Cheung Chau, Hong Kong everything is packed up. Knowing the information we needed is an advantage thanks to www.topworld.com. We enjoy everything there from the love...
