No.22 Lai Chi Kok Road, Mong Kok, Kowloon Hong Kong, China, 2397-6683

Arrived in Hong Kong yesterday around 3pm local time. It was a pretty rough flight, didnt get much sleep and the food was fairly mouldy. We did get a bit of laugh though when they wanted to take our temperature coming through customs, must be screening for Avian flu or something!? So between tiredness, 25 degree weather and staying in the most highly populated area of Hong Kong (1,000,000 people per square kilometer!) its been a pretty overwhelming first impression. The Hotel were staying is ...
Hong Kong, China alandrachThe flight was great, as I slept for most of it. I had to fill in another form in relation to Swine Flu on arrival and they scanned with an ultra violet light. I found my travel desk to check in for the transit to the hotel. I guess they think we may all look alike as everything is done by stickers. You get given a different coloured or shaped sticker depending upon where you are going. I had a round yellow one!! The trip to the hotel was less than an hour and it gave me a chance to see some ...
Kowloon, Hong Kong badamsHong Kong was always going to be an expensive stop, but Pearl and Neil (friends of mine from work, who moved out six months ago) offered us a place to stay. The flight was pleasant and we were even fed, then we managed to get straight to Pearl and Neil's appartment block. When we arrived, we eventually managed to communicate with the porter enough to ring up to the flat. There was no answer, so we decided to wait, assuming neither of our hosts had got back from work. After half an hour we dec...
Hong Kong, China nick.maynard
... on Lantau Island. Time flies when your having fun. Lantau Island, incidentally is about half hours drive for Hong Kong Island. <br><br>Like Dave, I had been to Hong Kong before and I always find it to be an exciting place for some reason. Maybe its because of its rich history, with being ruled by the British for so many years before being handed back over to the Chinese Government. There is still a lot of infrastructure that is British, which ...
Hong Kong, Hong Kong derekpottstrave... enough. The view, once the fog started to recede, was incredible. We had an awesome meal, including gigantic iced refreshments, and the tab came to $400. But fear not, this sum was in HK dollars. In USD, this was a little over $50 for the whole thing. We decided that these Asian exchange rates definitely worked in our favor.<br><br>On top of the building is an observation tower, so we turned in our tickets and went up there to take pictures. We had planned to stay up there until night fell ...
Hong Kong, China apurdie... Temple. The market is open daily from 4 pm to 11 pm (although it gets busy only from 7 pm and onwards... so you should probably come back here after you visited Mong Kok). Next in line are Canton Road (the section of which that is popularly known as Jade Street ) and the Jade market . A visit to both these places is recommended, especially if you admire gemstones. Canton Road is the sixth street on ...

Hong Kong, China crazyaurore... starting to hurt!). We're very much looking forward to Thailand (and Laos, Cambodia and Vietman), and we'll update you on our progress when we can. We go on a tour around the countries for 4 weeks then have another 4 weeks chilling on some beaches in the south of Thailand - where Chantal's friend Vikki will join us for a while ( to be a better shopping companion than I've been!). Love to you all, Sam & Chantal
Hong Kong, China samandchantal... pic to get a better idea.<br><br> I just finished going for a swim in the pool at a local 5 star hotel, now i'm getting ready to go out on the town. It's my last night here so a few drinks are in order:) Tomorrow i take the ferry to Macau then fly out to Thailand. I've taken this trip before so hopefully i don't get lost and end up in mainland China! <br><br>Let the new life begin.
