Wednesday 28-July-2010 HongKong

In Hongkong.
Great value for money hotel.  Megan,Jemma and I are on the 25th floor.  The boys are on the 22nd floor.
Could not connect to the hotel wifi but someone has an unsecured wifi so I am using that.

Slept in.  Missed Breakfast becuase the hotel stope serving breakfast at 10am.
Went and bought OJ & Yoghurt at 7-11
Back to hotel room to eat.
And fall alsleep again - Jet lag.

Went out.
It rained.  A lot.
Like standing in a shower with a hair dryer.  It is hot and very humid.

Lunch at Maccas (what a disgrace but it reenergised everyone)

One of the things that is noticable here is lots of staff.  Maccas had more than in Brisbane ad our 3star 25 story hotel has people who open the door for you and carry your bags.  Mind you the view is of other 25 story apartment blocks and literally hundreds of window rattler airconditioners.  And if you want to do some home renovatins on the 20th floor then just strap on some baboo scaffholding and get on with it.

The metro stations have a glass wall between you and the train and the train lines up with sliding doors like on a lift.

Went to Kowloon to see a big shopping centre.   Then had a very nice dinner at a chinese restraunt.  Took some finding.  The Bloomin Italians seem to have invaded here as well as Zurich and Paris.  We then went to watch the nightly laser light show that takes place but it was cancelled due to the rain.

Took the ferry back from Kawloon to Hong Kong Island and then a double deckker tram to North Point where our hotel is.

In Soho London we were about 100m from china town.  You would'nt believe it but here in Hong Kong, we seem to have landed right in the middle of china town.
