Hey readers, I am alive barely without proper internet connection. I am currently writing from an ipad which is very annoying. (That was 2 weeks ago). Now I can finally actually click 'publish'.
I arrived in Hong Kong after a long day
consisting of sitting on a plane, transferring and waiting around for 15hours.
It was 7am as we collected our bags and then gave them to the hotel staff to
take to our hotel because our journey was just beginning despite the lack of
sleep and the time difference.
We wanted to make the most of the time
in Hong Kong so instead of going back to the hotel and relaxing doing nothing,
we decided to go eat breakfast and watch the world go by as little children ran
through the water fountain in the middle of the square. The temperature was
very warm but we definitely felt the humidity, it reminded me of Qatar. After
all that, we headed to the cable car. We were going to take the original cabin
but decided to take the crystal cabin which had a glass floor so it was pretty
cool. The journey was around 40minutes up to the mountain. The sights from the
cable car were breathtaking and in the end we forgot we were even standing on
glass!
From there we wondered around looking
into the temples decorated with flowers, fruit and amazing art work on the
ceilings. On the top of the mountain was a gigantic Buddha but to be honest
with you the stairs looked too steep and I felt dizzy to even think about going
up them, so I watched from the bottom as people panted and sweated on their way
down. A few people had these incense sticks and they would do some kind
of prayer with them and then put them into a cauldron, I wasn't too sure what
they were doing but it seemed so peaceful, the smell was lovely throughout the
area. At this time I was wearing my loafers which were giving me serious
blisters so I couldn't wait to change into some sandals.
By the time we left it was evening so we
went to the hotel for a few hours because we had a night bus tour to catch. I
changed into some sandals and had a short walk around the neighbor hood only
for my sandals to cut in-between my toes so operation emergency to the nearest
shop that sold plasters and find some other shoes quickly before heading out to
the night life in Hong Kong.
First McDonald's meal in Hong kong and many more too!
Looking down was awesome.
I really don't know how any one would want to walk up the hill and it was up hill stairs all the way too!
Day 1 in Hong Kong continued will be posted soon!
I would have posted more often but now I
am in china and they block everything, twitter, kik, youtube, bbc news, and yes
of course blogspot! I am trying my best with VPN to get on to blogspot but it
just keeps disconnecting. I don’t know how anyone can live in china
without tearing their hair out with all these blocked websites.
