Ok, so we didn't exactly have the same luck we did as when we were heading for Shanghai.  The journey was just as long, but this time we did end up having to pay the regular fare, for yet again another SOLD-OUT train.  Yep, yet again!!  So obviously that meant no seats for us on a…

Ive been drawn to Hong Kong ever since I watched the handover on TV back in 1997. Finally arriving on my first visit in 2002 as a young naive 18 year old I wasnt quite prepared for what I had arrived too. Hong Kong literally does not stop, not even for a young man lost in the urban jungle. At first…

The actual flights were okay. However, there were some complications before leaving mainland China. I experienced airline procedural problems (South African Airways SAA) at Shenzhen and subsequently Hong Kong because of only having a one way flight ticket Hong Kong HK - Johannesburg JNB - Buen…

  Lying just a half-hour ferry ride from HK's bustling city, Lamma - the 3rd largest of HK's islands, offers a great escape from the city. There are no cars & few buildings are over three storey's high. Trails meander along hills, coastline & fine bathing beaches. Our walk leads from…

Not quite sure exactly what I am looking for, or what it means to travel for so long. I would love to share thoughts with other traveler, and hoping I will be able to answer to that question. I do travel because I can't resist the curiosity towards places I've not been before. I though start to think this is making me irresponsible in a way that when something happens, I am ready to leave. Is that a good or bad?

     We stayed at the Regal Kowloon. Good food at the resaurant there at the hotel. We took a Grey Line bus tour of the City. The guide was very funny but watch out for the tours as ours included a lesson on pearls and a jewlery shop. It caught our attention pretty quick when we…

After 16 hours of flight, i reached the Hong Kong International Airport safely. As i did not inform anyone but my brother about my early return, i came home quietly and surprised my mum. I was glad to be at home again...However, it does not mean my trip has been over as i will definitely go back to…

Short version of my HK trip Mar 2007 is that it came from my company’s generous incentive program. Met up with my brother Pat who was then serving for the Navy and whose ship, USS Ronald Reagan was docked nearby. Highlight of my trip had been a tour of the ship and HK tours organized by the US Na…

    Got back to HK by train. Stayed at 4 stars hotel in Djim sa jui, a city which has many interesting places. But that was a shopping trip so we did not have a chance to visit temples or interesting places but shops. We were at Nathan shoppin street, the best shopping ar…

I love bad English - now don't get me wrong, I am very impressed by the ability of the Chinese to speak English - my Mandarin stretched to Hello, Receipt and Beer. But these signs are brilliant!

We arrived in Hong Kong on Sunday evening of 30th March at 9.15pm after a 8 hour and 45 minute flight with Virgin Atlantic from Sydney. Our limo then took us to our hotel, although we were worried if they would fit all our luggage in the car, and arrived at the Island Pacific Hotel. After checking …

HK is small.  Being here for 3-4 days pretty much covers the basic touristic duties.  However, if you are on your 2nd or 3rd or 4th trip, you might be looking for something more distinctive, perhaps with a hint of uniqueness that's truly HK. INTERESTING BARS & RESTAURANTSRed Bar - Pa…
