Decided to give the 7s a miss.  Really hot and sunny early on. Decided to catch the bus to Stanley Market - south of Hong Kong Island.  Breakfast on the Ferry to take Malaria tablets - yuk.  Caught 260 express bus to Stanley Main Street.  Initially saw one small market street and Tony thought that the market had disappeared s...

Hello everyone, I am sorry to say this is my last entry. Woke up this morning (should say yesterday morning) and after an early start head off to TST & Kowloon for some last minute shopping. We each did our own thing as we all had different things we wanted to buy. It is so easy to get around here and you are so safe. We had a late check out...

The journey has already begun, and my travels have already landed me in the Hong Kong airport.  The Wednesday afternoon flight to Los Angeles went smoothly, dinner with a new friend - MJ - who was on her way to New Zealand, then one long night into Friday morning here. Just the views from the HK airport are quite magical, as the mountains o...

our second day went splendidly well. though we were not able to visit all the places in our itinerary, we were quite happy with how things panned out. though we slept late, we were up and about at 730am, and was out the door at 820, ten minutes earlier than scheduled. we were quite psyched for the secrets of pearl shopping talk at hari's bar in ...

Hong Kong is a pretty interesting spot I must say. For one, they are damn modern over there. The former British rule is also pretty evident by the fact that people drive on the wrong side of the road, I would say 'the left side' but I thought I'd be a little more clear about that. There are huge high-rises everywhere, and the funny thing is that...

From Singapore, I took Jet Asia to fly to Hong Kong. All went well, comfortable flight, and lots of leg room ( I had the exit seat). Unfortunately, my luggage was lost in space and after much debating and pleading that I really need as I want to leave for mainland China the next day, I filed a lost baggage claim and had to resign to the fact tha...

I made the 9 hour bus to Hong Kong without any problems, and the ride itself was rather uneventful. Peter, a German fellow I met in Gulang Yu, and I had dinner at an Indian restaurant once we arrived, and stepped out to an Irish pub for a beer. He couldn't talk about anything other than the price differences between the mainland and Hong Kong, a...

Well Sorry its taken so long to post our photos but we've decided to update our travelogue once we finish a section of our trip and unfortunately we are now finishing up in China. We arrived on the 3rd of September and checked into the Le Meridien Cyberport. It was amazing-especially after 7 weeks in a tent! We spent the next 5 days relaxing by ...

I have to say emailing from the Hong Kong Central Library is a pleasant experience. It was only opened a few years ago and has nine floors, is very spacious, comfortable and importantly for us, provides free internet facilities for everyone. We are staying on Kowloon island, just off of Nathan Rd.The accomodation is shoe box in size, but very cl...
