We made it to Hong Kong FINALLY! We had all sorts of funny, interesting, and scary things happen to us on the way. We both took off of work on Wednesday with the best intentions of being able to take our time packing but still able to leave for Atlanta at a reasonable hour. Well I have to admit that I was stalling all day long - I didn't want to...

After only 4 hours of sleep, we started the day off with a wonderful breakfast dim sum style. We met my aunt and uncle at the restaurant and were quickly seated. The food started arriving at our table almost as quick in either bamboo steamers or bowls which are delivered by women pushing carts around the restaurant. We had so many different dis...

We started off the day with Dim Sum again. We tried our hardest to pick things that we had not previously tried. We were successful for the most part however we did haveto have beer again. That's just weird for us but when in Rome do as the Romans do so to speak. We then boarded the subway to Lantau Island. Thank goodness for us it goes out tha...

We started the day off bright and early with no breakfast since we had to get to the marriage registration office on HK Island to take care of our final document verification. Things went surprisingly smooth and easy. I walked out of there with a huge sense of relief. I also vowed at that point to not walk anywhere else unless I can see my dest...

Well the big day finally arrived. I had to get up early and just have pastries for breakfast before heading to the salon. My mom and I had to be there at 9. I was there for hair, manicure, pedicure, and make-up (although at the time I wasn't sure that the make-up was going to work out). They started working on my hair and nails at the same time...

Hong Kong is the best! We've done so many things in the past 4 days: * Took the Star Ferry more than 6 times from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island * Saw the Big Buddha on Lantau Island * Had the best Peking Duck in Hong Kong * Went on the cable car and Peak Tram * Been on every kind of transport including the 'Ding Ding' the oldest tram in Hong Kong ...

Is this confusing as this relates to Oct 2nd but I'm writing it Oct 3rd I am aware that not everybody starts their 'round the world' (or even 'half way there and back') experience in a five star hotel, however not everybody has Ian booking the accommodation on the back of his sales bonus at the Kowloon Shangri-La. Having said that, I'm not sure ...

Day 1 I arrived in Hong Kong around 11 AM. I took the train into the city. That in itself was such an experience. The trains were amazingly clean and efficient. They even had flat screen televisions in every car. It made the trains in Chicago look really nasty. They even had a screen that showed your progression and announced the stops in quite ...
