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 ...

April 20th So my dad is the worst influence ever. I kind of wondered where all my party-tude came from... and so I found it. Since the wedding, I've managed to get my twin 15 year old cousins massive drunk.. and even after having 10 plus drinks of red wine myself....they were still more drunk than i... and I'm still able to function when there's...

We woke up at 8am and left the hotel within half an hour. We walked around the area near our hotel in search for food but ended up leaving for Repulse Bay with an empty stomach. We took the MTR to the Central and then bus 66 from the Exchange Square Bus Terminal. We were rather lucky that a group of Mainland men boarded the bus and asked the dri...

Rob and I headed for the famous No.6 bus ride to Stanley Market. After all the markets we have been to this one is a bit ho hum as it lacks some of the atmosphere and sparkle especially compared with the night markets. But the bus ride was great as it takes a spectacular route over the mountain with superb views of the surroundings and the Repul...

On Sunday, at about 1:30 in the afternoon, we arrived in Hong Kong, exchanged money in the railway station, and managed to get ourselves on the MTR, which is like the metro. It took us to our hostel in Mong Kok, one of the areas in Hong Kong. We dropped our stuff off there and decided to explore some of Hong Kong. We went across to Hong Kong Isl...

Bloggage Woop! Arrived in Hong Kong absolutely knackered as i can't sleep on Airplanes, the American sat next to me was very sympathetic right before he fell asleep for the entire flight. *******. Most signs 'n that are in English as well as script so it was easy to get to my hotel - where i slept for about a hundred hours! Explored some of the ...

In the morning I left Hong Kong on a 14 hour flight to Chicago. The airport was about an hour from the hotel and I never did figure out whether it is on Hong Kong island, which I doubt, or back on the mainland.
