Hong Kong, Hong Kong

So I'm still here in Hong Kong, was supposed to leave last week but having too much fun so have extended my stay here! It's such an amazing place, the shopping is just too good and the food is even better! Have had my hair straightened again so no more frizz!

Have been over to Macau and spent the night there, it was nice, got slightly drunk on Tsing Tao beer! It was the first time in ages since I'd drunk properley! Did all the touristy things and visited a casino which was cool. Being a poor backpacker I stayed away from gambling!

Well it's 3am as I'm writing this in a drunken state, just got in from a night out in Lang Kwai Fong which is pretty much the party place in Hong Kong. It has a great atmosphere and I felt like I was out back home but it seems to be ten times crazier here! I think I've shown my true colours tonight, I drank a bit too much and introduced everyone to sambuca shots...I didn't even have that many but I think they thought I was a bit of an alcoholic...hmm pretty worrying as I was restraining myself too, didn't want to show myself up by puking!

Not much else to tell except that I'm getting a cheap flight over to Seoul, South Korea for a week before flying to Singapore. Hopefully I'll be going in the next few days. Besides that I've not got much else planned but I am going for high tea at The Peninsula Hotel tomorrow!!! Very excited about that cos it's posh! Will try to post some photos soon!

Changi Airport, Singapore, Singapore

Well it was a long 13 hour flight and finally I'm here in Singapore! Still hasn't hit me that I'm halfway across the world! Anyway its 26 degrees here and its only 6.30am! Big difference to back home! Anyway I have 2 hours to kill before my flight to Hong Kong and theres not much to do here. It's too early to even get alcohol!! Well I'm off to find a somewhere to sleep, knackered.

Manchester, United Kingdom

Well time really has flown by, just over 3 weeks to go before I leave for Hong Kong. I remember when it was 7 weeks to go when I booked my ticket..it's pretty scary! Still not totally organised yet, have loads to do and haven't even thought about how I'm going to fit everything into a tiny rucksack!
First stop will be Hong Kong and staying with relatives so looking forward to some comfort before having to rough it in hostels!
