Thread: Hong Kong Xmas 2011

Fantastic peaceful environment an hour away from the city.

You just grab one of these and get going.

No high rise ghettos on this Island.

After a hard days touring I like nothing more than to grab a Special Brew from the 7-11 and observe street life. They bang home at 8.6% so after a few I'm seeing all sorts of stuff. I'm not feeling so Special the next day if I have to many.

A shrunken Kombi ? Could be me looking at it with Special Brew goggles on.

The Bird Garden is worth a look.

Old people never die in Hong Kong. They seem to go on forever.

^Or they might only be 40......

Typical Mong Kok street scene.

Dusk is falling and the lights are coming on.

Night times fallen and the locals descend on to the streets. Action time.

If you have ever seen the movie " Blade Runner " Starring Harrison Ford You would swear you where in it hanging around here at night.

Jump the Metro at night time, head up here and just pleb around. Its great stuff.

Most Hong kong residents do not have the luxury of privacy so when they want to grunt a hard one up the girl friend they come here. Bloody good innit.

Dam hard work doing this travel thread so I'm off up the Peak for a nice cold beer in the Sky Terrace

Awesome. There's some lovely ladies in there to keep me company. I'm off. Hope you enjoyed my trips to Hong Kong. Cheers.

Thanks, Terry. I enjoyed it a lot.

Ah ! the old Peak Tram, brings back memories, i was in the military hospital on the Peak back in the mid 1950's. Hong Kong is unrecognisable to what it was then. I am planning a trip there so thanks about the Hotel, Where is it ?

Hope you managed to get away ok. he does look a bit of a 'roughie'

^Quite the tache you have going there, Terry!

Bumping this thread as I just had a look at it. Very nice pics and the commentary was informative. I may be moving to HK next year and all of this information is very helpful to know. It looks like you squeezed a lot in a very short time. Disneyland looked fun. Was it expensive? Did you find HK overly expensive?
