We are in Hong Kong....we have extended our time here by a night as Geoff has not been to HK before & we were enjoying it too much after the 3rd world-ness of Lombok, Java etc
We went across to the Kowloon side yesterday...walked around a lot..went to the Temple Street night market. We met up with Geoff's friend, John Stevenson (who lives in Hong Kong) for a friend of his' exhibition on shark-finning called Man & Shark.
Afterward, we went on the tram up Victoria Peak to look at the city from above. It was spectacular!
*It had been so smoggy all day that we thought we wouldn't see anything from the top.. but it started raining really hard just before we went & everything cleared up beautifully so we had a brilliant view :)
Geoff and I grabbed some food at a Chinese restaurant at 11pm & headed off to our little haven for a great night's rest.
It is raining today > we are quite pleased as it makes it a bit cooler. We will probably just mooch around today... go see some galleries & take things easy, and then meet up with John again this evening for some dinner.
We cross into China tomorrow...We will be spending the night in Dongguan for the 3F (Famous Furniture Fair) and then heading to Guangzhou on Sunday to stay with Joan & Garrick for a few days before moving on.
