No.222 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong, China, 2311-8222
I don't know how I did it ... 16 hours nonstop from Chicago O'Hare to Hong Kong International. And on United Airlines no less. No fancy Asian airlines for me. Give me an American airline fresh out of bankruptcy with long-haul planes that look like they're from a bad 80s movie. I got ZERO sleep, and pretty much crashed once at the hotel, The Prudential. The hotel sits right on busy Nathan Road, steps away from major shopping and a short walk from a great park and Victoria Harbor. So after a 12...
Hong Kong, China dekalb77Nina and I had an export control conference and meetings to attend in Hong Kong on Monday and Tuesday, so we decided to make a weekend of it and head down to Hong Kong the Saturday before. Also making a weekend of it were 40,000 rugby fans, who had descended upon Hong Kong to watch the Rugby Sevens tournament, in theory, but in reality to have a debaucherous, drunken, rollicking good time in the streets of Lan Kwai Fong. Our co-worker, David, and Nina's brother John, joined us as we took in t...
Hong Kong, Hong Kong ilombardoHellllllo Kitttty! We made it!!!! Whooop whooop!!! Our flight over was actually surprisingly good with Air Canada. The flight was only about 1/2 full so we were able to spread out. Nadia took some sleep time pills and passed out, while I proceeded to make friends with little green bottles! I don't know what they expected when they are free. Watched a few movies, gambled on Antiques Roadshow with the guys in the seats in front, ate a lot of food, and finally slept with about 2 hours left of th...

Hong Kong, China toneee Hello dear readers and welcome to this, the first overseas entry of the blog for this trip! I'm typing this in my hotel room at the Prudential Hotel in Kowloon while Linda is downstairs enjoying the opportunity to explore some of the adjacent shopping options.
Rob, Linda and I departed Perth yesterday (Friday) morning on QF67, which left on time at 9:20am and was operated by a Qantas A330-300. The flight was uneventful, as expected, despite the crash of that Air France A330-300 just a ...
On Sunday we made our move into real Hong Kong, but not before our final buffet breakfast at Chef Mickey. A Disney shuttle bus took us to the MTR station where we used connecting trains to get to Jordan MTR and thus the Prudential Hotel. We were lucky enough to be able to check-in straight away and begin our sightseeing. I managed to get Belinda a nice case of culture shock after the Disney experience by starting off with a walk down Nathan Road to the Star Ferry Pier. The trip across the har...
Hong Kong, Hong Kong v1213Doing another update from the phone, this time while riding the train between Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Monday was the first full day for us in Hong Kong itself and it began with a late start. Breakfast was at Pacific Coffee and again included some free internet time for us to take advantage of. It was decided that the primary focus of the day was to be Ocean Park, specifically for the Pandas they have. I knew not to expect too much from the park but Belinda had no idea. One MTR and bus trip l...
Hong Kong, Hong Kong v1213This update is delayed because the one I had almost completed became corrupted on my phone. Also, the title of this entry isn't a typo on my part but a copy of the text that we saw on an advertisement for Chimelong Paradise in the Guangzhou Metro. We began with an early start on Tuesday in order to catch the bus to and eat breakfast at Hong Kong's Hung Hom Station before our train departed at 8:25am. Our Premium Class seats on the top deck of the KCRC owned Ktt train, with good service includ...
Guangzhou, China v1213Our last day in Honkers was another late start, pushing limits of our 12 noon check-out. It was then onto the MTR for the trip to Central/Hong Kong Station for us to check our bags into our Brisbane flight at the Airport Express' in town check-in facility. Because our flight was not departing until 10:45pm we used the day to continue enjoying Hong Kong. This began with a 1 hour long shop at the Esprit close to our hotel that Belinda had eyed off when we first arrived. I must say that the serv...
