... body clocks were concerned it was 1.30am, we hadn&#8217;t slept, and really it was time for bed not time to embark on a busy days sightseeing! In an effort to fend off the jetlag we set out to explore, taking a tram down to the central area where lavishly expensive shops and the ferry piers are to be found. The trams are great &#8211; tall and narrow with quaint wooden interiors, incredibly frequent (we never waited more than about 2 minutes ...

... trees and water in the natural history section, different types of dwellings in the early settler's section (including a full size temple and junk (the fishing house-boat)!). I actually can't say enough about this, I hope we took enough pictures. Suffice to say that it was like a one-stop information shop about Hong Kong. There was a section on Chinese opera, one on marriage, and a section on festivals and religious ceremonies. Then there was a whole floor with the ...

... visa quickly, but this year it has been more difficult to get longer entries or double entry visas. Most embassies and consulates require you to have an entry stamp for that country and also to visit in person the issuing office.

And yet... There are many outlaying islands you can take a ferry to from Hong Kong main ferry terminal, but we only had ...

... of Southern China's more upmarket eating areas really brought it home. The dynamics of global economics are brutal and perhaps never more so than here in China. This intelligent, articulate lady tells us that she can make more money in China than she can back home in the Philippines. She talks fondly and a little wistfully of her family.

... the airport shuttle (a high speed train) and made a connection with the MRT which was a new experience. It was very crowded and I could look the entire length of the train each way over the heads of the local residents. Out the windows we could see the hills of Lantau Island and Kowloon, very steep and green. We passed a few cemeteries along the way to Kowloon with rows of stone structures.
