We arrived in Hong Kong to an unusual climate. It was warm. Humid too admittedly but we didn't care. Almost instantly the freezing cold and darkness of the latest British winter was forgotten.
First things first we navigated the MTR to Hong Kong Island. That was a piece of cake! Then we caught a cab to our hotel, we could have caught a local tube type train to Causeway Bay but we decided to treat ourselves, again this was a piece of cake. Thanks to Mr Davidson (probably more Mrs Davidson actually) we were able to to ask for said hotel by it's Cantonese name "Yee Dung". Dung by name but not by nature. It was very nice actually. A nice room with an excellent view of the Harbour, most importantly sports channels showing live English football plus an English Bar in the basement. We quickly decided that we could fit into the expat lifestyle in no time at all.
The first night we didn't venture far and enjoyed a meal and entertainment at the top of the hotel in a swanky bar-restaurant called "TOTTs". It was an interesting venue, a mix of old and young, and a (possibly transexual) singer who roped some drunken sucker into shaking his booty (Beyonce stylee) to the rest of the audience. That itself was hilarious, especially after his 4th go, but the whole night was topped off when an elegantly dressed Chinese gent was handed the microphone for his rendition of Poker Face - we literally could not control ourselves.
