Hong Kong

Well I am back, 3 years ago I spent quite a bit of time in Hong Kong and whilst its changed a little... its still the same.
Ended up staying in the Wang Fat Hostel in Causeway Bay, highly recommend this place, good location and pretty cheap/clean to boot.

The heat kinda hit me on my first day and I was sweating buckets but the next day it started to cool down. Met some sound people, Ollie and Dan on the first night and after about 2 minutes delibiration I went out for a beer or 5. Went over to Lang Quan Fong and met some locals on the first night and watched a live band.

Causeway Bay is a pretty cool area with some nice shops about and some amazing shopping arcades. We sampled some of the local cuisine and had a healthy portion of dumplins and dim-sum which I am now addicted too!
In the evening myself and Dan went up to the Peak and took the walk around, its funny although I had stayed in HK before for 2months there were still a load of buildings that I had not seen at all. The sites from the peak are pretty breathtaking... (see pics).

We then decided on going out again in LQF and had a very amusing time watching some proper jocks picking up lady boys... very funny and if you ask me I"ll tell you the story.

By this point China trip was luming, I'd ordered my visa and to be honest I was pretty apprehensive, fortunately Dan mentioned that I get a phrasebook... which has been a life saver (I write this 4 days into my trip!).

I was planning to get the train up to GuangZhao from HK - a 2hr journey....
