Hi!
I've had quite a busy weekend, met up with Tom's sister Sarah and her friend Kim yesterday, we went across to Hong Kong island and went up the peak in the tram. It was so steep, the floor is sort of wavy so you don't fall over! We had to stand on the way up, but got to sit down on the way back. The view from the top of the peak is amazing, we want to go back up at night one day.
We went back over to Kowloon and watched the fireworks and light show they have on the buildings. The building on HK Island are all lit up and flash in time to music so it's better to watch it from the Kowloon side. We then had some supper and went back to our halls. The jet lag is still with us and I didn't get to sleep till about 2am, but that's better than 4am on the first night!
Today we went to the outdoor swimming pool in Kowloon park and Sarah and Kim met us there. The pool was like getting into a hot bath! probably hotter than I would have a bath! It was so sunny too that you could hardly see a thing! It was nice to be in the water though. Sfter swimming we went "Kung Fu Corner" which was a 2 hour show of martial arts and chinese dragon dancing. It was really good, nice to sit down and not do anything for a couple of hours too.
We walked back along the seafront on "Salisbury Rd" and found a tapas place where we are going to eat tonight. It's probably jet lag and the heat but the smell of chinese food is making us lose our apetites!
I'd better go, I'll write again when more stuff happens!
