Well Everyone!! I have finally made it and the firststop off is Hong Kong!!! Wow what an amzing place!!!! So funny tht it is all the way over the other side of the world but yet so similar to the UK. I arrived atmy hotel around 4ish and was stunned that i was so far out with nothing but watert and the docks surronding me. Although i shouldnt have been worried as the transport system in Hong Kong is amazing. So clean and reliable!! I must admit i did have a little sleep when i got there! ( thought i would take full advantage of a nice hotel before i start ruffing it in hostels). I thought i wo0uld head to Kowloon the first island closest to me first!!!! My god it reallycomes to life at night! So many amazing neon signs and markets everyone i didnt know where to head first! I must admit i did get a little carried away and went shopping a little too early!!! I came home that night with two new bags and a pair of sunglasses!! (these are on there way home to you mum xx). The food is lovely. Everywhere you look some one is cooking something and so many smells!! Not all good though! I headed home very full that night with a belly full of sweet and sour pork and special fried rice (we definatly get ripped off in britain, this stuff is cheap and amazing).
The next day i headed into Hong Kong Island with all the tall buildings and row upon row of shops selling all the latest gadgets, tv's and mkore gadgets (mum, tell ernie that the tv's are magic!!! lol). Spent the whle day walking round the streets with Jerome. Must say at the end of the day and about 50 thousand shops later my feet were absolutly killing me!! I went o bed about 10 and didnt get up until 2!! Oops!
Monday i went to the peak in Hong Kong. This is the highest point in Hong Kong and you get to see all the buldings!!! WOW! What a view!! Glad i did it in the day though. The road up there is very steep and veryyyy high!!!! Took some amazing photos and will upload them tommorow whent he internet cafe isnt so busy!!!!
Today was my last day so i got the underground to tshim tsh tshu on Hong Kong island and went to see the Avenue of Stars!!!! It is right on the harbour front so you can see all the bulidings aswell as having the sea staright infront of you. All the famous Chinese films starts have there hand inprints in the ground!!!!! Oh yeah i got to see jackie Chan's!!! Lol To finish our little Hong Kong adventure off we went and got a lovely little meal on one of the many resturants and wwatched the sun set over the buildings!!!!! Was a really lovely night!!!
Tommorow im heading to Bangkok tp Koh San road for a couple of days. Still trying to decide wether im going to go to Chang Mai or go the other way into Cambodia!!!
