Flag of Hong Kong Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Wednesday, May 9, 2007

The view from above hong kong as you circle to land has to be the best in the world. The mixture of sky scrapers, housing blocks and mountains is something quite special.

Back to the man Faresh's pad and to discover the reason why I could not access my Internet banking was due to some little fucker in Cambodia 'fishing' my account and taking out 1300 quid. Again nationwide were spot on and refunded the money the next day!!!!

Pretty shattered still from Saturday night, not a massive night tonight...but we did do something cool. Of to a fish market for some fresh food!!! The tanks are something else, full of all sorts of fish from clown fish to baby reef sharks!!! Along the pavement are helpless horse shoe crabs. Of course some of them shouldn't really be there, like the sharks and clown fish, especially an orential sweets lips (my favorite reef fish). But I guess these guys eat everything. We did have a great meal of oyster, clam and crab...the food was pretty damn good.

The following day was brief in Hong Kong before my 20 hour train journey up to Shanghai...
