Round The World Trip 2006
We set off from North East london at 15:50 towards Heathrow. the tube was painfully long however, after arriving we were still 3 hours early fro our flight.
The plane was extremely large, almost scarily so! But only 12 or so hours later we arrived in Hong Kong. My first impression of the hotel were great but the area around resembled poverty.
Upon venturing into kowloon the streets brightened and buildings rose. The streets were extremely clean, as though we had stepped into an idilic uptopia. It was obvious that there were quite visible leaps in such as small zone. Getting back to the hotel from town would cost at most $30 HK which is only 2 pounds. i think the most surprising thing about Hong kong is how safe we felt. For example everyone i saw in no way looked threatheningor intimidating, compared to London i would struggle to see a friendly face. I think this was fundamentally comparable to the absense of bars and binge drinking.
Until next time, tah tah
