Mission Log: Our time in Hong Kong see's us celebrate Chinese New Year, with fireworks, horse racing and the Symphony of Lights.
The weather is varied but our spirits high from the lack of stomach upsets or street theft. The tube is an incredibley cheap and efficient way to get around but misses London nostalgia.
Hong Kong is certainly developed. There is very little traditional and everywhere feels very western. Everyone, young and old has smartphones and pads.
The army of prostitutes are unrelenting, but yet we stand resolute and plough through them...in a non-sexual way. We now refer to them as 'opportunists'.
Our room, like a shit vol au vant, is small and leaves a bad taste in your mouth. It could only be made worse by having to queue 20 mins for a slow moving single lift in the middle of Jihad HQ...which we did. Late night curries were excellent here. On a positive note you could crap and shower at the same time.
I particularly like the grand names given to what are essentially car boot stalls with signs. E.g. Interglobal Asia Executive Trade Partners LTD...sold dildos.
I have enjoyed Hong Kong. People are helpful, the skyline mesmerising, buildings impressive and food varied.
Vietnam beckons and I just hope I don't get salmonella this time round.
