Hong Kong

.. arrived in Hong Kong last night. Pretty quiet overall, was expecting it to be a little more hectic.. guess it's the quiet season. Strange mix of crazy Asian sights and sounds mixed with designer stores and glamourous banker types coming out of highrise buildings.

This morning got up and went to the harbour which was breathtaking view of Hong Kong Island,
then caught a ferry and a bus across to the Peak tram, which literally climbs up the side of a cliff and about a 45 degree angle.. the view was pretty good - apart from the haze.. very high though but was able to handle it. Then heading through the banking district and then back to Koolwoon via the train, so all forms of public transport so far covered. Feeling pretty tired but the Koolwoon gardens were great; comprising of a tropical bird avirary and lots of tai chi, plus a massive swimming pool with (i counted them) ten life guards, and 2 people swimming. They are very safety concise here it's all a bit funny. Few glasses of wine at the Royal Palace Hotel (Happy Hour) and on for the light show tonight..
