I have the most annoying little dinky cough. But my throat is all irritated and pooped out and I can't help it. We went to Leif's sister's house and they ordered in Pizza Hut. I was like, "YAY, some good greasy crap that tastes like home," but no. The Pizza Hut here is alien, too. ~Sharda

HELLO AGAIN. Sooo yesterday I was going to update before going to bed but I didn't because I fell asleep at like 7:30. But... for me, it was 2:30AM y'know in Whitehorse time. And then I woke up at like 1 in the afternoon in WH time... but five in the morning here. >.< I have to start thinking in Hong Kong time. We went to a restaurant yest...

This morning we set off to see the Pandas, which were at Ocean City Park. So it was down to the subway, transfer to a bus which took us around to the park. We'd timed our visit to coincide perfectly with summer holidays so it was queue time to get tickets. When we finally got to the ticket booth the lady there told us it was actually quiet, the ...

Of course, in B...

We arrived on the same afternoon, and for that one afternoon the weather was nice...unfortunately it didn't carry on for the rest of the time due to the a...

Four lane highways. Skyscrapers. Seatbelts. Fast food restaurants. ATMs and credit cards. Sony. Samsung. Epson. Disney World. Walmart. As soon as I step off the ship and open my eyes it becomes clear that we are back into this so-called "western culture." Welcome to Hong Kong! ...... We only had three days in between Vietnam and Hong Kong, so I'...

I will soon write a summary of the time here in HongKong... Have a look at the pictures in the meantime...

Arriving in Hong Kong felt like coming home. This was Paul's first visit and he loved it. We moved into a suite at the Empire Kowloon Hotel for an extended stay. We took a break from sightseeing and just experienced Hong Kong. We visited family and friends. We wandered the busy streets. We shopped. We ate and ate. As the children of Hong Kong im...

We weren't expecting Hong Kong to be hot, but it was, and very humid too. We actually stopped in Singapore for a couple of hours on the way and really didn't realise the luxury of the air conditioning until we ventured on to the cactus roof garden (that should have given it away!) at the airport. The heat hit us like a brick wall, instantly drai...
