Hi All, I'm back in Hong Kong for a week before Thailand, Lisa is in Vietnam as there are a few more places she wants to see there and is going Thailand a bit later than me, so I thought I'd come back to Hong Kong and stay with Kiki for a bit. Its really nice to be back in a big city, the people in Hong Kong are lovely. I had to take two planes on my own to get here, I'm getting good at flying alone, my flight from Vietnam to Hong Kong was with Cathay Pacific and they are the best airline I've ever flown with I was really impressed.
Kiki came to pick me up late Thurs eve at the airport after having the nicest smoothie ever we got the bus back to her house which is in the New Territories area of Hong Kong, its nice and green here! Kikis house is really nice and I have lots of time to sort things out as she has internet and phone etc for me to use.
Yesterday we had a great day out we went to see the Big Budda statue which I missed out on last time because of the typhoon - it was brilliant! Best thing I have seen in Hong Kong so I'm glad we went, there was also a temple there where many people were burning incense and putting it in a big burning pot to worship the budda I took some pics they are up on facebook. There was also a little village with cool shops and stuff where we stopped for some ice cream... I had oreo flavour yum! Then we climbed up the stairs (loads of them) to see the Budda - it was sooooo big and its free which is a nice touch! To get to all these attractions we took a cable car and the scenery was amazing.
We got the bus back to the Kowloon area where I stayed last time I was in Hong Kong, we had a quick couple of drinks in a mexican bar - i had a frozen cocktail it was like a slush puppie yum! We are going back there on Tues for cheap tacos! Then we went shopping so I could get some shoes as I dont think my flip flops were appropriate for central bars haha. We then went to a few bars around central was good fun, managed to attract a weird man from the Bahamas lol he asked for my number to meet up 2moro I politely declined bet I bump into him tonight because he said he will be out! Might have to wear a disguise!
will keep u updated as to what im doing - going shopping in a couple of hours to buy a top and a going out bag.
lots of love xxxxxxxxxx

Only me!
Yesterday I went out in Central with Kiki and her friends Fran, Marcel, Nathan and Angie who were all really nice people! First we had a few drinks in a 'park' which was concrete steps really (ha not quite as chavvy here as that would be at home), was nice to meet some new people and chat away all night. Kiki then decided we needed some vodka jello shots at a bar nearby we had about three each and they are strong!!!! After a few more drinks in central me, Kiki, Fran and Marcel went to Kowloon area (the dark side lol) and watched some random band then headed to a club, Marcel headed off but me Kiki and Fran danced the night away till 5am... whoops! Was fun as it was a local club and me and Fran were the only western people there but we got involved in some dancing with the locals haha including two very interesting characters who defo had some moves lol! Kiki has had a bad hangover all day bless her we took it easy and met up with Angie to see the Dutchess - it was really good but sad too :( was good to meet Angie properly as I only got to say hello quickly last night.
Ive managed to track down some english magazines so im gonna have my gossip update tonight and then 2moro I will find something to amuse myself in this fantastic city... maybe some more disneyland time ;)
oh and last night i was very impressed to find some drunkards in a pub door way from Hong Kong singing the Cranberries song Zombie - one of my faves..obviously i had to join in and give them my rendition of linger too!!
