So, here I am in Hong Kong. Got a bit lost on my way to the hotel from the airport, as the stupid airport bus driver just ditched me in the busiest street i've ever seen, with 50 bags that i couldn't carry and no help on where my hotel was. But as I listen to all my mum's advice, I went into the local police station and asked for help. haha They got me all safe and sound in a taxi, and within 5 minutes I was at my hotel.
The weather is overcast at the mo, which kinda defeats the object of being here a bit cos Hong Kong is all about big buildings and Victoria mountain, but you can't see the top of anything cos it's all misty. And to top it all off, it's freezing. So i'm wearing about 50 layers, non of which match, although that makes being the other side of the world a good thing. It's not likely that i'l bump into anyone I know here. You wanna see the state of me, i'm wearing a grey shrug over a yellow hoodie, with a pink top under all that. haha
So, today I've been on the star ferry taking in the Hong Kong skyline (or what I could see of it), and I've done markets galore. Flower markets, goldfish markets (hehe), clothes markets, electrical markets, bla, bla. I also spent about an hour riding from one end of Hong Kong island to the other by the worlds only double decker tram. I felt like i'd been thrown back into the 20's, it was so quaint. And it only cost 20p!
I'm off to Temple Street night market once i'm finished here to see what treats await me there. I bought a cerise pink phone cover at one of my markets earlier, but i'm in search of dvd's now.
I was also planning on uploading all my photo's for you all, but i've gone and left the usb lead in the hotel room. Oooops. So i'l do that for you tomorrow.
I'l mail you again tomorrow, hope everyone's well. I miss you. xxx
