No hao ma people, I'm in Hong Kong havin a laugh at the mo! The first night in Hong Kong I met up with some aussy geezer in the hostel and he said he was off to the Victoria peak which was one of the things I wanted to do so was cushty as he'd been to Hong Kong before so was already clued up on how to get about and that. We took a tube to causeway bay then walked to a tram that takes you up there, it's real steep and you pass through some clouds when your going up it's weird. Then when your up the top you take some escalators upto the view point and I got there around 6 ish when it was still light so stayed until the sun was gone and you could see the whole city lit up it was insane never seen anything like it. It was moist up there and everything you touched was damp and you could see clouds rushing past you it was pretty surreal. After a few hours watching the lights and scenery we went to bubba gumps restaurant where you could see the veiw of the city from your table it was quality! The next day I went back to causeway bay to see what was going on down there and it's just money money money there's rows of car shops Bentley Ferrari Porsche the lot. The aussy geezer in me hostel has friends that live here and he said it was his mates bithday and they were all meeting up for a sesh that night and said I was welcome to come so I thought yeah cushty I'll have a bit of that! So when I gets back from causeway bay I has me dinner at this rice noodle place and gets back to get changed as he said they was meetin at 6ish at Central Hong Kong so I gets back and I sees the aussy and he said have you got a shirt and jeans mate, I says na man just shorts and tshirts, he says ah I better check with his mates wife whose organisin the sesh if where we goin will let me in, I said how posh is this place then man ha he said I'll find out, then this geezers missus texts back sayin yeah should be ok so was all good. Then on the way to meet his mate on the tube he said before we meet my mate there's a few things you should prob know, I said go on then, he said my mates a top dog for a law firm out here and his nick names King, I though ah great this is gonna be a ponsy evenin ha but he said he's sound. We meets this rich ass geezer in Central where his pad is and he shakes my hand and says you must be Craig I thought fairplay he dint seem like a rich ponce and acknowledged I was there so I was happy ha. So he takes us up to his place and he's a tall good lookin b****** such as meself so I'm thinkin his missus is gonna be sweet as a nut ha and I want wrong she was like a model one of them rich bird wag jobbys! This geezer is seriously minted and only 29 but made it for himself and I'm in his posh pad in Central Hong Kong in me shorts and Tshirt thinkin Jesus what have I got myself into haha he gets changed comes out in the mutts nuts of a shirt and trousers and his missus is wearin real expensive clothes lookin like she's ready for the Cannes film festival and I felt ready for the wickham horse fair ha. So we makes our way to this place where we meant to be meetin a load of his other mates and we gets there and straight away I knows I'm rollin with the big boys there was all these rich business men in suits and birds in thousands of pounds dresses drinkin champagne! So I grabs a menu and they only got one beer, bloody Heineken at 80 Hong Kong dollars, bearin in mind I'm tryna budget Hong Kong phooey on 280 a day i nearly fell off me perch, I though cushty this gonna be a larf! So i orders one Heineken and takes a seat with all these business geezers and there wags and looks the part in me shorts and Tshirt don't I ha. It's alright tho I had me trainers on not me flip flops. I was thinkin how is this sholing boy spending a night with the big dogs in Central Hong Kong, crazy stuff ha! I got talkin to this bird who is a private tutor for the most expensive tutorin school in Hong Kong and she's teachin kids whose parents are big wigs of Merrill lynch and bank of china etc and she's on more money a week than I was in a year but she wasn't up herself she was sweet and on my wave length so had a bit of a chin wag as one from upper sholing does whilst sippin me Heiny like a cat with milk to make the baby last long as I could. Like I say this bird was sound but there was a group of birds there keep lookin me up and down like what's this hobo doin hangin out with us, but it only took me a few minutes, then I clicked on and realised, they were after a peice of me weren't they! They never spoke to me or anything though so they were prob just shy ya know! It's a proper business city round here, all the stuff I'm into and that ya know! After a few hours of listening to the ins and outs of a cats ring bout stocks, meetings and what they do for a living I said goodbye and made me way to the waterfront to see the causeway bay buildings all lit up and had a walk round the avenue of fame where my mate Jackie chan has put his hands in concrete along with other famous people. Then after a walk round there I made me way back to a cheap market shop at the bottom of my hostel and brough some tinnys of beer as I was foamin at the mouth for a beer by this point, that one Heiny dint do the job ha. Went down to a place called Tai Koo by tube today down by the sea and there was a tsunami defence barrier there with marinas around so I grabbed a drink, sat in the sun and watched a load of fisherman casting out from the wall was cool to chill out. I see a music shop on the way to Tai Koo so I stopped off and had a dabble on a few guitars and brought a couple picks to bring back home too. Hope everyone's cushty, give ya shout laters guitar hero
