Hi Guys,
Well it's day 3 in Hong Kong and I have to admit I am loving it. I
feel like I have been here longer as I have seen so many places - I've
been walking so I feel like I've walked the entire nation! My feet are
so sore.
But it's been totally worth it - I went around some of the touristy
places today, having a look at the Exhibition Centre, Monuments
celebrating Hong Kong's return to China, rode a tram, walked along the
bay, have been to several malls (the only places I can find Internet
Cafes mind you!) ate some great Indian, rode the world's longest
elevator and wandered around the CBD.
Yesterday was much the same, involving more exploring of the CBD as
well as the area my hotel is in, Mong Kok Kowloon. It's definitely the
seedy side of town I'm staying in!
I saw the Hong Kong Leisure Centre yesterday, which is all decked
out in paraphanalia about the South East Asia Games - which Hong Kong is
hosting. Haven't done much shopping as don't want to load up with
luggage before my tour of Egypt.
Anyway, have to go, got a ferry to catch and need to find an
Internet Cafe that allows longer than 15 mins, half an hour login time
as well as a Laundry. Hopefully I'll get the chance to laze by the pool
tomorrow - can't wait to take a dip!
Speak soon, take care as always, Matt xx
