[20th September]
three days in hong kong and i can't say i regret moving on. the place is one enormous shop that never closes with posh upper floors and bargain basements!
we spent our first evening walking down the nathan road, kowloon, (where our hotel is) to the harbour's edge. lou had heard about the light show and it was very atmospheric; water slapping; boats passing; crescent moon; neon on all the skyscrapers on hong kong island and then the light show!
lots of photos later (ours and virtually everyone around us) we walked back to the temple street market. a madhouse of smells, cheap tat, neon, food stalls...fantastic! lou insisted we eat in proper downtown style so we did in one of the many small cafes. i tried not to worry about unwrapped chopsticks...the food was ok and very cheap. we were the only europeans and business was brisk. the chinese version of hollyoaks was on the huge tv screen on the wall!
back at the hotel we'd discovered we could get on the blog so could read all the comments and feel the warmth of friends and family...
