Got up at 7:30am and left hostel before 9am. My bus was 9:05am, great timing! Waited for about 10 minutes and head to the airport. I sat on the front seat on the 2nd floor so the view was nice but it was cold in the bus. I had breakfast at a restaurant. It was an expen…

Although Typhoon Fengshen left Hong Kong yesterday, it still brought heavy rain.  Late in the afternoon, it stopped raining, so it was time to move our asses.  We went to the nearby tiangges in Mong Kok District – Ladies Market, Sports Street and another street that specializes on e…

Another early start this morning, this time we had to make our way across the harbour to the Harbour-Plaza Hong Kong Hotel by 8:30am. This hotel is in a wonderful position right on the harbour. The pool was the best we saw with glass walls that allowed you to see the view from all angles. When you …

And so me made the full circle- start and end in Hongkong. When we came here first time the weather wasn't that great, now it's sunny and awesoem. The same spots look different, and the skyline is much better! We stayed at the same hostel (Chunking Mansion) because we were to lazy to search for a n…

  Kowloon Park   We had a free morning. Some of us visited Kowloon Park, a 33 acre area located in the middle of Tsim Sha Tsui. It is often called the "green lung of Kowloon." The beautiful oasis is built in classical Chinese style and there were plen…

Hong Kong was great!  We docked at another container port.  I guess our ship is on the large side so it doesn't fit into many of the docks in Asia.  It was 9am but we couldn't get off until 10am.  We had to be back by 4pm.  Fortunatly we did not have to use tenders so we we…

So, the three weeks in Hong Kong have come to an end. I came down with a bout of food poisoning towards the end of the trip, and was layed low for three days. (Dont let the food poisoning incident put you off. I ate a dodgy meal consisting of sauasage and mash. I feel the sausages were undercooked.…

ahh it feels so good, almost like a bit of home, to step foot on an airport you have been before. i have to transfer flights here in hong kong to get to bangkok and can spend 3 lovely free-wireless & not free-burgerking filled hours at the hong kong international airport. i would love to go int…

Time to leave HK.. Our flight leaves at 8 in the evening so we have the whole day to explore the city.  One of the agenda is not to leave HK without going to Snoopy's World.  Based on my friend's description, I thought it is a theme park, similar to Disneyland/Ocean Park. I had a difficul…

Tomamos o pequeno almoço novamente no Délifrance antes de apanhar o Ferry com destino a Muai Tai para visitar o Grande Buda na ilha de Lantau. Com 34 metros de altura esta estátua gigante de bronze é uma das maiores imagens de um Buda Sentado do mundo. Aproveitamos a vista fantástica…

Like I said... Hong Kong rocks. All we did today was spend time shopping and eating really good dim sum. It was at the Sheraton hotel, and it's cool because this resturaunt is ranked top ten out of all the dim sum places in the world. Let's see... went to Harbour City to go shopping in the really h…

I woke up soo early today (around 5 I think) and couldn’t get back to sleep. So I left the hostel, headed towards the harbour again to catch sight of the sunrise. Again, I brought my tripod with me to take photos of HK island at dusk, and as well as of myself (I haven’t found the opportunity to…

We left the hotel at about 10-11 to find Yumi somewhere cheaper to stay while she was in Macau, she was staying for a while before heading back across the border for China. Although Mandrin isn't the prominent language in Macau, Yumi seemed be able to use it when talking to the locals. All I could …
