Hong Kong

Well, we're here... Strangest flight so far. Supposed to take off at 23.55 and land 06.15 (local HK-time, i e almost 11 hours in total), but we took off at 00.20 and landed at 05.25. Guess the winds were with us... Very comfortable flight in all, but the food wasn't that good :(

Been here two days now and it's interesting... I'm not that impressed. I just think there's a lot of high buildings, very trendy, mixed with old ugly houses. Too many salesmen on the streets trying to get us to some strange place for looking at Rolex watches and Gucci handbags... Not my cup of tea.
Henke likes it more. He's fascinated by the city (but he do hates the salesmen too...).

Yesterday we took it easy, exploring some of the city. We ended the day by looking at the spectacular light show over Hong Kong's harbour area. They lit up the houses, used laser and music. Quite cool actually. See if I can publish it here, as I filmed the whole thing. (no it didn't work, I'll try tomorrow instead).

Today we've done a lot of walking around Kowloon. Good excercise. Just wished that I could find something to take home... Henke bought a T-shirt, a Quicksilver sweater, a watch and surely more stuff, while I got... Candy?... Wow.

Tomorrow we're off on a sightseeing tour with a bus. We're going to Lantau, where the big Buddha is situated on the top of a hill, next to a monastery. It'll be nice to get out of Kowloon for a while... :) I guess we're aiming to go to the Hong Kong island on Thursday, to see what it's like on the other side of the water. Friday it's time to go home, veeeery early in the morning :P

Well, o a o for now... Hugs for everyone!!
