Stayed at the Sheraton next door to the Peninsula Hotel. Lunch at the Peninsula - mushroom soup, Scottish Salmon, bread pudding with mango sauce. Ate at Jimmy's Kitchen 

It had started as a joke over a few beers in the bar; and then the next time we were there it came up again; and then without any thought I started to run to unwind at night after work; and then - again in the bar - Tom and I had somehow agreed to do the Hong Kong half-marathon; This was it: I'd stuffed myself with pasta the night before and the...

The flight was rather unspectacular and we arrived rather relaxed in our second home Hong Kong. We met Crystal and Daniel at Kowloon Station as let us stay at their old place while we are in HK. Great to see them again - especially because they won't be "alone" for much longer ... ;) ... We showered, relaxed and slept a bit in the appartment on ...

But now I am in Hong Kong having almost missed my flight...and no Simon it wasnt because of the later train that we caught but that i got caught up in the shop ar...

It was a lovely place, with many historical buildings including Senado Square and the ruins of St Pauls,, stemming from its P...

Long time no talk!  Sorry, but we do have a good reason... An earthquake hit Taiwan on Boxing Day; as a result, 6 of the 7 underwater broadband cables that connect Asia to North America were damaged.  For a few days, no one in HK could connect to NA sites!  Service has slowly been getting better but even now - a week and a ha...

There can scarcely be two such contrasting places as the two that I have visited recently. Hong Kong....a busy, modern, commercial, hectic, affluent city with excellent public transport, pedestrian walkways on a higher level than the roads, smart people, contempory architecture, international cuisine Kathmandu....a city with an ancient culture a...
