Hmm Hong Kong. I lost count of the times I told people I didn't need a tailored suit. Or a new shirt. Or a fake watch. Or a massage. Or from one particularly odd chappy a fake handbag. Other than that, its a very small country, it really doesn't take long to look round Kowloon or Hong Kong Island. The space museum is quite interesting, the contemporary art museum is as good as any other I've seen (!) and the bay is rather pretty at night. The HSBC head office is rather swish (that would explain why they keep charging me for things), but the animal park is rather lame - one empty jaguar cage....

Oh and its rather easy to book a first class ferry ride to Macau for the day! Looking a tad out of place in my shorts and t-shirt, especially when I managed to spill coffee down my front (was a rocky boat I can tell you), I headed over to the gambling mecca of China. And couldn't go into any casinos (again, shorts was a problem). Still an olc castle to look round and a few old churches, will have to head back there one day when I'm rich.

Next Japan....
