Part 1: Take Off!
May 4, 2009
To get to Island-side Hong Kong, you can get on a boat ferry. Pardon the shaky camera, but here’s the night-time view:
Island-side Hong Kong is filled with markets, shops and tall skyscrapers. To our misfortune, most were closed because it was a holiday.
There was also the Peak Train, a train that climbs up until you reach the highest point in Hong Kong and have a complete view of the city, but it was too foggy that day so I didn’t snap any pictures.
Next post: Japan!

Hong Kong was a very nice city to visit!
The food on the plan doesn’t look very appetizing!
Nice pictures! Can’t wait for the next post!

Wa-na-sa! This is the perfect buildup! Spending some time in Hong Kong is a wonderful bonus! I’m soooo happy for you! The shots were nice :) The food actually looked like real food as opposed to the stuff they serve on other planes. The sky-line view looks just like Kuwait’s sky-line view, 9a7? 6al, ha? :P Everyone’s calling you out on it so I guess I should join in. Stop teasing! Bring on the next post :P
Oh Oh I almost forgot and this is important. Does pgilbert mean anything to you? Sound familiar? Yes? No? Anything? Please reply asap :)

Someone on my msn list pgilbert had “in shinjuku” or something like that for his/her topic right around the time that you left. Thanks for answering.

I think that Hong Kong requires a visit sometimes soon. Some beautiful shots. The Avenue of the stars look cool, and the Bruce Lee Statue is fantastic! All his features are showing!
