Hong Kong. Wet, hectic, comfortable, modern, expensive, friendly, wet and expensive. Off to Sydney in a few hours, arrive on New Years Eve, catch up with my little sister and Junior Jacobs and then the celebrations start. Apparently it's chucking it down for the next few days there so stormy New Year here I come. Had fun during my brief visit to Hong Kong. Just wandered around, soaking up the pace of life and vibe here. Did the obligatory trip to the Peak, coul...

So chilled, lovely beach, great seafood, Kite Surfing and the sand dunes........ So, caught u...

Alrighty then. Quick update on Vietnam. It's bloody hot. Thailand was hot, Cambodia was hotter and Vietnam is hotter still. So, after leaving the Delta by bus hopping a total of about 4 buses following a couple of boat trips and a climb of Sam Mountain to see the Pagoda and views, I found myself in HCMC, (Saigon).
