Hello friends, family (not the devil child evelyn), peeps who dont actually no me and the tyrone losebags among you!!
So left the emerald isle on 24th Sept - tears and more tears and that was just mcginn - I obviously was FINE!! BMI are amazing as will soon follow we know all about flights!! Landed in heathrow with like 8 hours to wait till our flight to hong kongers - possibly the longest thing ive ever done heathrow is officially a BORING airport!! Anyway got on our flight with cathay pacific (bboooooo hisss) possibly the crampest plane Ive ever been on - IM NEVER complaining about ryanair ever again - i was ready with my travel socks and aspirin (my feet swell up and Im a bit of a hypocrondiac and think im doing to die) - the only good thing about the flight was ponahotas - you know the disney film that was the first ever film i watched in a cinema - thank you Lorraine Barry nee Mooney - it was as good as I remembered - what wasnt so good was the dinner of cold pumpkin pasta - yes it may sound ok but it was actually minging!! Anyhow 12 hours 27 mins later and like 5000 miles we landed in hong kong - there was another breakfast but im still too disgusted to talk about it!!
First thing first we couldnt find the bus - we were waiting for someone to hold a card up with mooney on it- it didnt happen and to tell you the truth I was majorly disappointed it was photo opportunity of a life time! Anyway had to ask a chinese person (is that politically correct or not) she actually read our voucher and told us were to go whoops!
Anyway the first thing to notice when you hit hong kong is the fecking humidity - it took one hold of my hair and that was it I looked like diana ross on a REALLY bad day - damn you jimmy mooney for ur thick hair inhertation!
The next thing is the amount of chinese people - now I always thought there was going to be chinese people but that amount of them NO -(i was thinking more english peeps but nay) - anyway got bus to Kowloon to the hotel - it was good - and then all the fun began.....
First night we were starving, tired and just generally wanted to roll up in a ball and hiberate so we decided to go get some food and hit the sack..... with us being in a different country we thought the only place which would be safe enough until we got to know the surrounding areas was the famous MCDONALDS!! Oh how we were wrong - order the wee mcchicken sandwich as per usual but alas with one (small) bite we found out the chicken was in fact pink (u know the bright pink) - oooohhhh noooooo we cried how can our comfort food be tainted..... i couldnt not eat for the next week till we hit hong kong!! So we made the best of a bad situation and but the french fries in the bap of the burger and made a chip sandwich..... talk about brains..... im no doser
Jet Lag officially SUCKS ASS!! For you peeps who think going to america is bad this is REALLY BAD! Valium was needed to be taken that first night it was so bad..... Still fully awake at 4am with a tour booked for 7.30am to take us on a full day around hong kong
Anyhow hong kong was the funkiest - went on a tour first day -victoria peak (the most amazing views of hong kong - which was funky fecking roasting as well to throw in the mix - stanley market, the floating restaurant and possibly the most surreal moment of my life the jewellery place - 4 sales peeps for every person hiliarious i couldnt stop laughing lol!
Second day was the day of Disneyland hong kong style - AMAZING - we loved it even down to the funky tube to take us there! And I finally got to go on space mountain (I am FINALLY tall enough) -Second day food adventures was better we found an irish bar on nathan road which served good food - sheperds pies absolutely stunning!! anyhow disneyland was majorly tainted due to the.....
Third day i awoke with a gentle scratching feeling when I finally seen my lower legs I nearly passed out - I HAD 17 BITES ON MY LOWER LEGS- i looked like i had been taken over my a flesh eating virus it was that bad (i might be a drama queen about that) - I have never seen bites like it in my life - DAMN DISNEYLAND!!! Anyway was about to write out my will i thought I was dying seriously DYING!! Fecking china and there funny ways - so head towards a pharmacy - oh no theres no boots or superdrug in this joint its all back alleyway pharamacies..... I got me some tea tree oil (yes i am offically in love with the stuff amazing) and yes 8 weeks later I still have scars on my legs - fecking disneyland!!!! Didnt do very much that day was quite upset and obviously itchy so just 5 minutes from us was the ladies market were you can literally buy anything - and i mean anything you want - most famous line - 'missy missy u want copy original?' every 5 seconds
Next day we went to the fat buddha - with the scariest but most amazing cable cars I have ever been on!!!! I had to wear my full length black trousers (the only pair of trousers i took with me - yes yet again crappy cathay pacific and the 20KG allowance CRAP) so i was sweaty betty the bit out but buddha was amazing massive and funky!! Walked up the 200 steps to get up there and walked around the monastry of the monks was gorgeous around there..... really would go there again
Last day in hong kongers was spent in ocean park - and it felt like about 50oC I thought I was going to die again (as you can see hong kong was QUITE a dramatic time for me) - we went to see some fecking large jellyfish and I found nemo - however he was in an aqaurium in hong kong the whole time not in sydney - dolphin and seal show was amazing but the thing we paid like HK$200 to see was the the pandas - I LOVE THEM (i honesty believe i was a panda in my former life they do nothing and I love it!!! Anyway we had to get the hell out of there 1) I was a walking sweat pit and 2) it was full of pushy (i swear i mutterd f*** off a few times in hong kong the chinese fecking love there pushing) chinese peeps!
Then it was to the plane (again s***ty cathay pacfic and the s***ty plane) we werent even sitting together on this plane - again the only good thing was the films sex and the city amazing film although I still hate carrie - fecking whingy biatch! Food again was s***y some chinese crap i got because they had no european food left!! So 9 hours and like another 3500 miles later we landed in SYDNEY BABY!!
Arriving into sydney is amazing you fly over the harbour bridge and the opera house pretty cool!! Stayed in the wake up hostel in the city its a pretty cool place!!
Watch out for the sydney times so to be released!!!
