Royal Garden Hong Kong

Hong Kong is one of my favorites. Friendly people, good foot and so many things to see that it is worth to go back. Don't miss the Buddha statue on Lantau Island!!! Lucky for me that I got a special rate at the hotel I stayed, which is very comfortable, quiet and has helpfully staff. I can only recommend it for people who want to spend more money, or for those who are as lucky as I was :) The only unlucky thing was the fog, which was there during my whole stay...

2 Day in hong Kong has been entertaining and most eye opening. Our unofficial tour guide...Senoir Douglas took us on our walk about in Kowloon that covered the following places worth taking in. From our Hotel, The Royal Garden located at 69 Mody RD we were just a Blk from the promenade. This ocean side walkway streches for approx 5 KM and passes by several High rises and the small ferry ports that shuttle passengers across to the Island of Hong Kong.(about a 5 min ride)We took in their walk o...

Sat 31 of March, Aother Am in cairns with nothing but blue sky and warm temp 27.Enjoyed another breakfast out on the deck watching the locals set up their tents for a small fair out on the Lagoon. Checked the spot out and found a local artist who had some great water clours of the area. There was also some jewelry items other art and clothing all locally made. A nice treat on a Sat AM , shared with locals enjoying the pool area with their families. Our last day in Australia was filled with an...

Located in the Kowloon side, is close to my office as well as bars, restaurants and shopping

Flew overnight from Perth to HK & arrived here at 8am. We both slept a little during the flight but feeling very tired! At HK airport, we bumped into Peter Oldham, a guy we used to work with at BankWest Belmont & hadn't seen for probably 15 years! He's now working for one of the casinos here, managing their internal banking operations. Took a taxi to the hotel. Taxi driver was one of those crazy drivers who is either accelerating or braking all the time. When the car in front moved 50...

Up early @ 6.40am with lots of good intentions to get going ... but then fell asleep again until 8.00am. Bought Octopus cards each and discovered the world of the cheap and wonderful HK subway! Makes it so easy to get around and the aircon is just beautiful! Made our way to HK Disneyland: an exceedingly clean amusement park, very well laid out, with just enough attractions to keep us entertained for the day ... oh ... and about a thousand kak stalls selling everything Disney you've ever imagi...

Breakfast at the Charlie Brown café - the food range was a bit limited, but they made up for this with a very extensive range of Snoopy merchandise! We took the subway and then a bus to Ocean Park on the Southern side of HK island. We thought it was going to be good - in fact, we were contemplating not going to Disneyland and just visiting Ocean Park instead as Disneyland looked like it might have been a bit too "kiddie" and "Cutsie-pie". However, we soon found that the Americans are much bet...

Jeff's first day of training so off to work for him and off to play for Sherry! After booking a tour to Lantau island for the next day and attempting to book one to Shezhen for Sa**************ed off in search of the famous Sam's tailor on Nathan Road. Found this very easily and had soon signed up for 2 pairs of trousers and 5 shirts. Took in one of my favourite shirts to be copied so hopefully they'll manage to do that ok. Shop is tiny but walls are plastered with pics of famous clients - Ky...

Jeff's second day of training. I (Sherry) went on a tour to Lantau island today, which first included a stop at the Avenue of Stars next to Victoria Harbour (where I saw Jackie Chan's handprints) and then to a wholesale jewellery showroom where I may have "slipped" and bought a diamond pendant. Oooopps. It was 50% off if that's any excuse. 8 ) After a bus trip over to Lantau island we transferred to a little boat and went on our crusie to the Tai O fishing village. Saw pink dolphins on the wa...

Jeff's third day of training. Today Sherry did her very best to become a molten pile of wax on the pavement by walking around in the heat and humidity for most of the day! Decided to head up past Mongkok via the Prince Edward (no... not Prince Albert) station and check out a couple of less touristy markets that don't stay open as long. First stop was the fresh flower market, which really was more like a street of flower shops than actual markets, but they did have lots of beautiful flowers an...
