Sleep Deprivation Competition stats: total hrs slept since April 19: 24.5hrs hmm. so... got drunk at a girls night in at my cousin's new place (which is really neat by the way because she designed it all and it has the most perfect set up for a working couple's home, two dens and a master bedroom with second bathroom yada) and i have to admit it...

Its is almost 10'o'clock  p.m and it is time for me to go to sleep.I  just got of my flgiht and i am here in Hong Kong. My hotel room is a private suite wich is much more than what i expected for a hostel.The staff speaks fluent English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese and Indonesian. They also offer wide-range tra...

Hong Kong??? et oui Guillaume et moi sommes bel et bien a Honk Kong!!! Jamais l'idee de venir visiter cette ville ne nous avait effleurer l'esprit. Donc on avait aucune attente et on la voyait seulement comme comme notre point d'entree en Chine. On a donc ete incroyablement surpris par cette ville compose essentiellement d'immense...

Well all, this is the first entry from the 30 somthing traveller! After 4 days and 3 nights in HK I have arrived in Cottesloe, WA. I have a few things to say about Cott (as it is known by the Aussies) but first HK. I had the unbridled joy of rocking up in HK at 8 am after landing at what should have been midnight UK time. Missing out on a whole ...

As everyone told me that KL was empty on Hari Raya, I decided to go to HK (!!) to see Geraldine for the weekend... After one week under the water on my paradise island it was a bit of chock to be in this crazyness but in the end it was great and I guess it was a needed transition!!! I have the impression that i have been everywhere in Hong Kong ...

Ah yes, made it back last night and everything went pretty smooth, the walk to passport control, despite being crowded was okay.  Passport control was fairly swift and I was surprised to walk out to the baggage carousel and find my bag waiting for me. The trip to Hong Kong on the Airport Express was fairly uneventful, I think I dozed off so...

Without Q's gadgets, even James Bond can't survive a single episode. I am no exception... unfortunately I do not have Q's stuff, but luckily I have something else... Gadget #1: Nikon D70 with AFS 18-175mm ED-VR and Tokina ATX 12-24mm F4. This trustworthy camera equipment allowed me to take very wide shots and the the VR function gave me the extr...

We left Yangshou on an overnight bus to Hong Kong, via Shenzen. We decided to save money and book the regular night bus instead of the tourist sleeper (they both have beds... couldn't really see the difference). Imagine this - we walk onto a packed bus, 3 rows across bunk beds (top and bottom). There were about 35 beds on a regular sized bus. We...

Hong Kong's transport is impressive! Well, all of Hong Kong really sets out to impress. It seems that every type of transport is available and works well to move the masses from A to B. Travel is both under the sea (by MTR) and over(by ferry). Other transport includes ancient wooden sided double decker trams, buses of all types, a funicular rail...

After arriving in Lantau fairly late and being exhausted from the adrenaline high Monday evening, we simply checked into the hotel (Silvermine Beach resort - PIC) and grabbed some supplies from the local supermarket before lounging in the bedroom and getting an early night. Day 1 As they say, 'simple things please simple people'...hands up, we'r...
