Hong Kong, my first stop on my crazy Asia journey, has come and gone. Hong Kong, as I found out, is massive. Sydney crumbles in a comparison for size. Well, to be fair, HK is just denser, but how much they can pack into one small space is nonetheless amazing. It is, however, covered in a hefty layer of smog. The smog does create a shrowd of myst...

After almost a week in Hong Kong, I had yet to see the nightly light show conducted by the Hong Kong Tourism Commission along both sides of the harbor.  It wasn't that I was not interested, because I most certainly was interested.  It was simply a matter of opportunity, and up to then I hadn't had the opportunity, most of the time it c...

Hong Kong so far has been madness and a complete culture shock. Compounding with this black to white change was my mass fatigue upon arrival. I hadn't slept except for bouts of exhaustion-fuelled naps here and there. From Macau I went straight from the airport to the Ferry on this bus where the roof was so low I had to crouch while standing. I a...

HK was amazing.  Very cool city with lots of great food and shopping!  Winston and his wife Maggie were great hosts.  They took me to some great restaurants and shopping districts.  On the weekend we took a boat to a great seafood restaurant in the middle of nowhere and hungout on their fishing dock for the afternoon.  (...

So, here I am in Hong Kong. Yesterday was such a long day, I was awake at around 4am making sure that I had packed everything I needed. Mum and I were travelling together from the Gold Coast to Sydney, and our flight left at 7:30am. Thank you Joel for driving us to the airport, at such an early hour! We arrived in Sydney just after 9am. My siste...

Sitting here in the China visa office. We're number A110 and they are currently serving A42; how wonderful we get to wait. We got here by subway then cab because the subway station we got off was in Kowloon and we still had to cross the water to Hong Kong Island. Dan and I fell asleep almost immediately last night, and boy did it feel good to sl...

Battered I wondered around Hong Kong, took in Pirates of the Caribbean 3 (which isn't that great!!) then got a welcome shower and shave at Faresh and Lucys pad....my Hong Kong family!!! Refreshed the day after I brought a cheap PSP 2 ready for my day in transit at Delhi airport and then went up to Victoria peak for one of the most amazing sunset...

In a nutshell: we visited the strange Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas on Hong Kong Island, and just generally mooched around enjoying our last day in HK, our last day in Asia!

Today is our last day in Hong Kong. Steve is stillin bed as him and Emersson had a late night last night and I just woke up about 10 minutes ago. Time here is now 9:42 in the morning. I know it is about 8 hours ahead of the UK and 12 hours ahead of New York. We had a challenging time yesterday on the train, trying to work out the hour difference...

Hong Kong. What can I say. I was born here so it's a bit non eventful. This did happen though *met up with grandparents and godparents who all got to meet Amber *shopped crazy and replaced more old clothes as everything was at least 50% off *met up with Amber's brother Jeremy and did some more shopping and eating at Amber's favourite restaurants...
