Stopover in Hong Kong
August 20, 2009 - Hong Kong Island, China
The flight from UK to Hong Kong was incredibly long - a total of just under 12 hours. All we can say is thank god for the in-flight entertainment systems!! We had all the music, movies, tv shows and games we could ever need, and I'm not going to say that the time flew by, but it certainly helped to ease the boredom! We actually chose to have a 12 hour stopover in Hong Kong on our way to Australia. We worked it out so that we arrived at 7 am, and departed again at 7 pm, which gave us the day...

Hong Kong Day 2
June 21, 2009 - Hong Kong Island, China
Woke up early and went to dim sum with Jia's great aunt and uncle. Hong Kong is known for its dim sum (or yum cha, depending if we're speaking mandarin or cantonese) and it was indeed delicious! Then we said goodbye and headed for a pretty famous temple in the city. I thought we had been headed for the 10,000 Buddha Temple, but now that I recall, we didn't really see many Buddhas, so maybe it was just a cool temple. Then we visited the Golden Bauhinia Square, which is indeed, a giant golden...

Hong Kong - Day 3
May 12, 2009 - Hong Kong Island, China
Today, we took the metro to the east part of Hong Kong Island, then a bus to the start of Dragon’s Back. Dragon’s Back is a ridge in southeastern Hong Kong Island, Wan Cham Shan and Shek O Peak. The hike up through the trees took about 45 minutes, then we were high enough we could enjoy the amazing views of the island. It was really hot and sweaty, but the panoramas were gorgeous—definitely not the Hong Kong we expected. Lots of greenery, blue sea and nice beaches. The whole hike...

Hong Kong - Day 2
May 11, 2009 - Hong Kong Island, China
On our second full day in Hong Kong, we took the Metro to the Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple, a large Taoist temple built in 1973. The temple is dedicated to the god worshipped by the sick, trying to avoid sickness (probably popular in Hong Kong these days with swine flu), and others (probably us) seeking more material fortune. Below the temple, there were supposed to be a bunch of fortune tellers and people using fortune sticks, which I was disappointed not to see. The temple was nice...
