Well Hong Kong was a bit of a let down to be honest. Not really worth the 11 hour flight if thats all you were to go for.
Spent a week there and 3 days would have done it. Think if we only stayed 3 days I would have enjoyed it more. Apart from scenic views of the city and a bit of walking around all there is to do is shop. Loads of designer shops and jewellry shops.
The city didn't have a lot to offer but the hotel was pretty cool and we did a bit of touring about and took some photos. When we landed in the airport we got a tourist book with tours to do around the city. The flower and gold fish market as pretty shite but night market wasn't bad, once you got used to these fuckers getting in your road saying "copy hand bags, copy watch, tailor for you sir? I dress you real sharp?".
Another thing I didn't really like was when you went to eat native everything tasted of fish and had egg on it so we ended up eating in stake houses.
We had planned to leave by train which some
