Hey people.

So, finally, I'm about to upload photos from Osaka, The Ferry, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.

Spent last night in my room talking to 2 Australian girls, Gemma and Jodie who seem pretty cool. I decided to drink lots and lots of water and felt better, so I think we are going out tonight.

Hong Kong is f***ing expensive. No way I can stick to my budget. But I can half my budget in SE Asia so I'll be OK.

The hostel I'm staying in is illegal...I wonder if Lonely Planet know? I'm adding the pics now and the notice is on there.

First thing this morning I went to get my visa for Vietnam. I'll be entering twice so I got a multiple entry for 3 months...75 b******ing pounds. Couldn't believe it.

Took me AGES to find the fecking building. Lonely planet got the address wrong so I was wondering around for ages.

Anyway things picked up then and I headed into central to the peak tram, which takes you to Victoria peak, over 500m up. Awesome views from the top, great pics.

When I was on my way back, some monk hands me a...thing. It's oval and golden but the type of thin gold you'd get on chocolate coins. He says a prayer. I can sense a scam coming, but I don't want to piss buddha off or anything so I stand. Anyway he gets me to write my name in a book, the country I'm from, what the prayer was for (Peace apparently) and then asks for a donation of500 f***ing Hong Kong dollars!! Thats like 35 quid. For a f***ing prayer? Are you JOKING? I give him his coin back and try to walk off and the b****** grabs me and says "OK, 200 - Like 13 quid". Still, no! I don't have a clue what this is for. I give him 40 dollars in the end (about 2.50) and walk/run off.

b******. I hope he never gets enlightenment.
